Democrats Out To Watch Their Sixes

 Mark Lewis, at Townhall.com has an article entitled China abd the Democratic Party I: Gradual, Creeping, Tyranny Leads To... that points out that brutal treatment of people generates fear, but it only goes so far. China may have pushed the Chinese people too far. At some point, people realize that they have nothing left to lose but their lives, and they might be better off if they lost those too. But Lewis is using China as a cautionary tale:

The Democratic Party better check their six. Some serious butt-kicking may be approaching. People don’t tolerate tyranny and oppression forever. Witness China.

I don’t think a revolution in America is near (yet). I’m analyzing history. People can be pushed only so far, and there comes a point, never foreseen by government tyrants, when robbed of one freedom too many, the people WILL react and reassert who is really in control.

You see, not even an autocrat has unlimited power. A king, emperor, czar, dictator can’t kill everybody. He must make some reasonable response to those under him. If he doesn’t, his regime will collapse.

He goves several examples including the French Revolution, the Russian Revolution, and the Chinese Revolution. All turned tyrannical. Only the American Revolution turned out well, because the Founders were perhpas political geniuses inspired by God.

The Americans did it right. After the Seven Years War of 1756-63, the British began taxing the colonists in ways they didn’t appreciate. Long story short, by 1775, the Americans were in revolt. We were fortunate. We had some of the greatest political minds in human history leading our Revolution. John and Samuel Adams, Jefferson, Washington, Henry, Madison, Franklin—a host of others. They established a country based on freedom and on principles that made slavery anathema worldwide and led to its global abolition. Only the Marxist Left, with its monumental mutilation of history and hatred of freedom, refuses to see the greatness of these men.

Lewis almost recognizes, but not quite, that the Left is driven by Lucifer, and the Original Sin, pride. God is pleased to let Lucifer have his way with us for now. To find out why, read the book of Job.

My point in these examples—obviously only briefly surveyed—is that no government ever has absolute, unlimited power. Gradual, creeping tyranny, the frog in the pot on the stove—and EVERY government eventually tries it, America is not immune—will, at some point, cause severe pushback.

Revolutions are not pretty. They almost always produce war, societal chaos, countless deaths, and, too often, end in a dictatorship when the people finally want peace and stability and give power to any demagogue who has the organization behind him to establish order (Napoleon, Lenin, Hitler, Mao). Revolutions usually aren’t good and may take generations to mend. France has had five constitutions and 13 changes of government since 1789. Look at Russia the last 100 years. America, because of the greatness of our Founders and her people, was a noble, exemplary exception.

What the Democrats, and the RINOs don't forget, have unleashed on us is chaos with the purpose to do so demoralize us that we just give in so long as we can live peacefully enough. But what I see is a lot of angry people. So far it is the slow boil kind. People recognize that the elections have been stolen, even if no one in power wants to admit it. We know it, they know it. As Lewis says at the start: Democrats ought to watch their six.
