With nothing to offer, Democrats only offer deception

Losing to reality and Donald Trump, Kamala Harris has no policies or record to run on, so she must deceive voters about Trump, and she must also deceive voters about herself. Trump has been ruthlessly demonized and grossly mischaracterized by the Democrat Media Complex for years. Hardcore Democrats bitterly cling to the misrepresentations, but more and more average Americans every day are realizing they have been lied to and are embracing Trump, and his policies particularly. This is spelling trouble for Harris, so she must continue to lie about Trump, and for that matter about herself.

Our American political system is built on competing candidates proposing their ideas and policies, and then persuading Americans theirs is best. Fierce and pointed debate is healthy for Americans to vet ideas and choose which they think will work. If Democrats were honest about Trump and Harris, animated examination would be beneficial, but Democrats cannot afford for Americans to understand Trump’s or Harris’s platforms.

In the waning days of this election, it’s quite telling that Democrats must resort to blatant lies about Trump’s policies. They claim Republicans will cut Social Security despite absolutely no evidence and both parties have consistently sworn to keep Social Security viable. They also insist Trump will further cut taxes for billionaires like his previous tax cuts, but those tax cuts demonstrably benefited all Americans, and the proof is average Americans are worried about the first Trump tax cuts expiring.

Flattering themselves, silly celebrities and left-wing media hacks breathlessly worry that a re-elected President Trump will round them up and lock them up. First, they are not that important or relevant. But second, Trump was already president and he didn’t round up anyone. The hypocritical projection is astounding. Trump has said anyone who has broken the law will be fully prosecuted, but it’s Democrats that have weaponized the power of government to oppress their opponents with all manner of frivolous charges, or just to remove them from the ballot. Trump won the Republican primary outright—but Harris seized Biden’s primary nomination without earning a single vote. Which one subverted the democratic process?

Perhaps the biggest Democrat whopper is that Trump will enforce a national abortion ban. He has never proposed such a ban and clearly stated he would not support one, but the real point is that a national abortion ban will never see any congressional approval. Congress is relieved the issue lies with the states and will never touch it. They also ridiculously claim Trump will prohibit IVF and absurdly swear he will enforce pregnancy monitors. That’s all horse hockey and cynical fear-mongering that Democrats hope will scare women into voting against Trump. It’s all political lies to deceive voters.

There are also the ludicrous counter-claims like Trump is exhausted, Biden stayed in the basement, and Harris can’t keep up with his campaign pace. Or Trump’s acuity is failing! LOL! The same people who insisted for the past four years that Biden is sharp as a tack now want you to believe them that Trump is cognitively diminished! Harris cannot navigate a scripted friendly interview, while Trump incessantly explains his policies in detail to people from every quarter of society. Harris also claims she is tougher on the border! Trump built hundreds of miles of border wall and implemented tough policies that dramatically curbed illegal immigration, and then Biden/Harris threw open the gates and some 21 million illegal immigrants invaded the country.

The problem for Democrats is that their lies about Trump are so demonstrably false, they have become absurd and, even worse, comedic. Americans are laughing at the Harris campaign. Yet Harris has an even bigger problem in that she cannot risk voters learning what her policies will be.

Socialist Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders is candidly helping voters understand the ruse. He has repeatedly declared that Harris still supports the Green New Deal and will prohibit fracking so we should disregard her campaign flip-flops because she is only trying to get elected. He recently expounded further that if Harris is elected, the Dems can turn her against Israel.

With Harris lying about these policies, how can Americans trust her with the First and Second Amendments?! The Biden/Harris administration has colluded with big tech and social media to censor Americans on everything from COVID to EVs to the horrors of the militant transgender industry grooming and mutilating children. While seeking to defund the police, the Dems try to impose gun control at every turn to disarm law-abiding Americans while crime is skyrocketing. None of these policies is supported by a majority of Americans, so Democrats must conceal their intentions until after the election. Fortunately, Americans see through these deceptions.

Harris and Democrats have no hope of winning if Americans know the real Donald Trump, so they lie about him relentlessly. However, they also know they can’t win if Americans know the real Kamala Harris, so that’s why they have been hiding her. They carelessly throw around labels about Trump like dictator, fascist, and NAZI without offering any evidence. It appears they do not understand these labels, but they really do because they embrace totalitarian tactics. Democrats have fully become the American Socialist party, but they know that loses elections. So, they are desperately trying to hang those monikers on Trump. It’s not working.

The number of Americans rejecting the lies of the Democrat Media Complex is growing exponentially and that has Democrats panicked. Trump has the momentum to win this election, but do not discount a replay of the 2020 voting irregularities. Every vote will be vital, so vote!
