Is democracy at risk?
To the editor:
It used to be, in past presidential elections, that you needed at least 51 U.S. intelligence officials to determine that an old junk computer belonging to Hunter Biden was no doubt put in the repair shop by none other than Putin himself. No use in any of them wasting their time to examine the computer.
What kind of gimmick could the Democrats use to attack all Republicans that the news people could use as a dog whistle? The use would be for all their die-hard fans of NPR, CNN and a multitude of TV channels. It has to be something easy that no one really understands, but works on the psyche of the people. The answer is “Democracy is at risk.” Wow, whoever came up with that really did a bang up job. No one knows what it means, but who cares. It’s a catchy saying.
To qualify that, it could be used on the U.S. Supreme Court. After all, Democrats really despise their rulings. Democracy is at risk and we need to pack this court so it falls under the Democrats’ control and is no longer a threat to democracy.
We all know that “Democracy is at risk.” Only the real risk to democracy is putting Joe Biden back into the White House.
