Democrats want to create chaos, foment division, insurrection and spread unhinged lies. Without that, they have nothing. Their goal is to tear this republic down because they could not beat Trump in the last election.

They are the ultimate election deniers. They are pretending that elections don't matter and that they are still relevant even though they have NOTHING to offer as policy to make things work better.

They don't care about this country. They don't care about its people. The only thing autocratic Fascists in the Democratic Party of Socialist Jackasses care about is political power so they can dictate how you live your life.

Now we know: Democrats just wanted to cause pain with shutdown

After the longest government closure in history, Democrats bailed, got nothing

In a rare act of actual journalism, the far-left CNN host Jake Tapper recently acknowledged that it was really the Democrats who shut down the federal government, despite weeks of breathless reporting from the liberal network saying just the opposite.

“Democrats are the ones that are not voting to fund the government,” Mr. Tapper said frankly last week as the shutdown dragged on. “The messaging by Democrats around this shutdown has been sharper than I’ve seen Democrats on any issue in a long time. They have convinced voters, Democratic voters and independent voters, that it’s the Republicans’ fault.”

“And just on the numbers, that might not be actually accurate in terms of who’s voting to open the government and who isn’t,” the host said.

Let’s all pause and take a “duh” pill. Duh. All Republicans in the Senate, except for Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, repeatedly voted to fund the federal budget and keep the government open. All 47 Democrats and independents consistently voted against a continuing resolution — 14 times, in fact. The effort needed 60 votes to advance, so it continued to fail until seven Democrats and an independent changed their votes.

But that’s how the game is played. Democrats claimed they were trying hard to keep the government open, and their lapdog media parroted the talking point. Why? Because voters normally blame Republicans for government shutdowns, and it is, frankly, good politics for Democrats, who couldn’t care less about the American people.

For instance, an NBC News poll released two days before Election Day found that a majority of voters, 52%, blamed either President Trump or congressional Republicans for the shutdown, while 42% blamed congressional Democrats.

It worked. On Election Day, Democratic candidates prevailed in key races in Virginia, New Jersey and New York City. And days later, the Democrats packed it in, effectively ending the shutdown after more than 40 days, the longest in history.

It was all by design. “If you’re the Democrats, you’re looking at it thinking, you know, having 40 days of the Republicans being a little tangled up and not being able to do stuff congressionally, that’s not a problem. That’s a good thing,” Republican strategist and former Trump White House official Mike McKenna told the Daily Caller.

Make no mistake, it was the Democrats who caused all the pain — leaving 42 million people dependent on food stamps hanging, bringing airports across the nation to a standstill and leaving millions of federal workers unpaid and uninsured.

Scott Jennings, who served as a special assistant to President George W. Bush and is now a political strategist, cut to the quick in an appearance on CNN.

“The other thing that came out is that Democrats are willing to make people suffer. We heard Democrat after Democrat say, ‘We just couldn’t prolong the suffering.’ So they admit their political tactics were designed to inflict suffering on the American people. We learned about cynical politics,” he said.

No doubt about it.
