Vice President Kamala Harris doesn’t care about “moving to the center” as is traditional in presidential campaigns when summer turns to fall. She’s not concerned about attracting Republicans and independents to her cause.
And centrist Democrats (the few that remain) can go hang as far as she’s concerned. Her focus from now to election day will be motivating and turning out the vote of radical left Democrats.
With politics so rancid and Americans being turned off in record numbers, the only reliable way to motivate voters to go to the polls and cast a ballot is to scare the wholly living bejeebus out of them. Hence, Trump will “destroy democracy” while Harris will “destroy America.”
If the republic was really that weak, the United States would have collapsed long ago.
The crisis that the far left is seeking to exploit is not Donald Trump’s supposed bid to be a dictator. It’s a crisis of faith: faith in America, her institutions, and yes, her innate goodness.
The crisis is about a lack of confidence in the American system of government. The crisis is about whether human beings are truly able to govern themselves or whether they must be driven with an electric prod like a herd of cattle.
Neither candidate running for president wants to address the crisis. They only want to exploit it.
Tim Walz and Kamala Harris are of the paternalistic school of government. What makes them so dangerous is that they see the Constitution as something to be gotten around rather than followed as a blueprint.
