D.L. Gardner: What If the Left Wins?

The presidential race tops ballots filled with other candidates and issues deemed important enough to merit a vote by the people. Voters like to believe we have a voice in government. Too many times in 2020 we’ve seen candidates at the federal level along with mayors and governors exercising authority voters did not give to them. 

The LEFT are all in a dither worrying about a peaceful transition of power in the White House. After the chaos they have continually drummed up the past four years “resist”ing all things Trump, regular folks wonder what they’ll do if President Trump is reelected. We’ve witnessed the LEFT peacefully protesting as cities burned, protesters ransacked, looted, and destroyed local and chain stores, and attacked and vilified police while mayors and governors empathized with outraged mobs. 


What if Joe Biden wins? The last time a socialist won, opponents went on with our lives and waited eight years to elect someone who wasn’t a career politician. President Trump ended wars and brokered peace deals in the Middle East. His economic plan reduced unemployment to record lows for all races and created more jobs than we had workers to fill. Under President Trump the economy added about $6,000 more to median household income in three years.


After 47 years in Washington, Joe Biden promises to undo everything President Trump has done. Biden said on national TV he would shut America down if necessary to control the pandemic, and bemoaned “a dark winter ahead” in his last debate with Trump. Biden is projecting a gloomy picture for America’s future. But, that’s what the LEFT has been projecting for America every day, week, and month for the past four years.


The LEFT has been hyping and touting the pandemic as a political problem for about eight months now. That’s the club they’ve used to bash Trump and his supporters. This is after they minimized the dangers of coronavirus. Remember LEFT headlines during the first three months of 2020? 


“Who Says It’s Not Safe to Travel to China?”—New York Times, February 5, 2020


“Coronavirus is not going to cause a major issue in the United States.”—Dr. David Agus, CBS This Morning Saturday, February 8, 2020


“So if you’re freaked out at all about the coronavirus, you should be more concerned about the flu.”—Anderson Cooper, CNN, March 4, 2020”


President Trump initiated “Operation Warp Speed” to develop a vaccine and has planned for the military to deliver 200,000 doses before the end of this year to our most vulnerable citizens. 


No one is voting for Joe Biden. The LEFT are voting against President Trump, his supporters, and the coronavirus, as if they would have banned travel from infected nations and developed a vaccine in less than a year. “Wear a mask!” “Isolate!” “Lockdown!” 


A friend told me the mayor of his town had reported him for not wearing a mask, and he’d been given a ticket. If I had written that sentence nine months ago, no one would have believed it. The LEFT has been using the coronavirus to dictate and control what we can do, where we can go, and even what we can say. If Joe Biden wins the presidency, we can expect more government control from Washington paid for with our rising taxes from dwindling paychecks and bank accounts.

“ What if Joe Biden wins? The last time a socialist won”

You should really look up the definition of socialism. You just look stupid.

“What if the left wins?”

Then Trump will claim he won in spite of the vote tally and try to further divide the country and likely call for a civil war. It’s going to be UGLY!

Nice revisionist history about spending 8 years "going on with our lives." No one remembers the Tea Party? The 2010 mid-terms? What about birtherism? The tan suit uproar? How about Mitch McConnell actively blocking legislation and judicial appointments (not just Garland)? It's a nice narrative that creates a false sense of decorum on the right but it's devoid of facts. No there weren't riots or massive city-closing protests (but those of late aren't related to the election directly anyway). But the conservatives/republicans continuously tried to undermine Obama and their base of support was energized by a continuous protest movement that resulted in the political philosophy of DJT being adopted by him around 2014. If you are going to argue in favor of 4 more years or try to scare people with 4 years of the alternative, at least have a relationship with reality that resembles the truth of the recent past.

Mr.Gardner, you seem to have missed that conservatives have left the GOP. You seem to have missed that the LEFT as you describe them is no larger than the KKK, Neo Nazi, Proud Boy, dumber than a post wing of the GOP.
Some of us are fiscal conservatives but we are not blinded to serious social issues that are more draconian in some States and towns than in others.
We actually noticed how the debt was soaring before the coronavirus hit.
We noticed that some spending was not practical.
We aren't anti-science or prone to myths. And, we do believe expertise and experience has value.
We don't like Obamacare but do not understand why the GOP couldn't come up with a replacement when controlling both houses of Congress. We have seen nothing in writing...NOTHING. So we think you should put up or shut up before throwing out everything with no plan to replace what you've erased.
Some of us still see Russia and China as threats. We don't like their interference and we don't think we made a good deals in our trade war. We noted the Trump Organization's contract with China.
We also understand why the peaceful transition of power is important and know the difference between fraud and suppression. Suppression of any legal citizens vote by closing or under manning precincts is bad.
We support the idea that each State gets to determine their voting rules.
Your entire article is propaganda.
I'd appreciate it if you would do more studying before writing about something as important as our form of government and issues in our election.
Or as famously once said, " where's the beef?". I hear lots of talk about a beautiful great burger but where's is it? The new wall is collapsing as it was built on unstable soil. Not even that promise is enacted with any efficiency or attention to detail.

"His economic plan reduced unemployment to record lows for all races and created more jobs than we had workers to fill."

Pretty easy thing to do when you can spend money like a drunk sailor as Trump has. The last four years has been nothing but a complete departure from conservative values, democratic norms and standing in the world to support an unqualified baffoon simply because he can appoint Supreme Court justices. And when he loses by 10M+ votes tomorrow, the entire republican party will turn on him like Ben Sasse has already done.

Mr. Gardner-
If you realized how fatuous your comments were, I think you would give up writing.
I have been a Republican for 40 plus years but will not vote for Trump because he is a :
1)- liar
2)- draft dodger
3)- bully
4)- womanizer

I'll gladly take my chances with a " socialist. "

A “career politician”? Trump has toyed out loud with the idea of undoing term limits for the president. If that doesn’t sound like an aspiring career politician, I don’t know what does.

At least actual career politicians don’t mock the disabled, brag about sexual assault, completely bungle coronavirus responses to the point that our economy is ruined even more than it had to be, say there are good people on “both sides” at neo nazi rallies, have kids locked in cages, and call thugs trying to run Biden’s bus off the road “patriots.” This guy is a real threat to our democracy, and I, for once, can’t wait to see him gone.

More and more politics devolves into and ever more hostile hammering from the left and the right with the middle taking the beating

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyhaVaZgqTI

Rush's demand that the right wing conservatives make Obama a 'do nothing administration' and culminated in Trump going to the Whitehouse. But now the left will feel justified in returning in kind and the middle will again take the blow. Such is politics these days.

I hope the left wins and they accelerate their agenda and force the milquetoast right into really becoming the hardcore fascists the media describes them to be.

Anonymous said...

KF, that was a nice fluff piece. The revisionist history is pretty astounding. I still want to know how a Republican controlled legislature did not produce anything to remove Obamacare? Trump didn't drain the swamp, he made just made the murkier and the swamp things dive a little deeper and play a little dirtier. Trump has conned and pimped the Republican party into making his friends richer while pissing in the face of middle class America for four years, especially those that have blindly supported him. Unfortunately, Biden will be no better. It is a sad state of affairs that this is what American politics has devolved into, a con-man and a lifetime political do-nothing leading the greatest country on the planet.

Why is a guy who has filed six (6) bankruptcies that has cost a multitude of hardworking Americans millions and millions of dollars treated like a rock star? This kind of credit history would not allow him to be a regular federal employee, so why have we allowed him to hold the highest office in the land?

Don't get me started on the loser Biden. He is an unqualified buffoon. What has he ever done as a politician that has positively affected the US? I am not talking some pork project for his friends and family, but the nation as a whole.

Neither of these men are qualified for the office. We as voters have let the extreme left and right soil our nation to nearly being unrecognizable. Shame on us for siding with either side of what currently exists. The Trumps, AOCs, Bernies, et al. should help us fine common sense and common ground not rule us. We shouldn't allow them to divide us in the name of some extremist ideas.

1)- Senile

3)-Child-sniffer, it’s on video, don’t deny it

The president that follows Trump will be universally loved. It will be so refreshing for American citizens to have someone they respect making decisions on their behalf. There is nowhere to go but up from here. We can all tell our grandchildren about the dark years and hopefully they won’t make the same mistake when they grow up.

“ No one is voting for Joe Biden. The LEFT are voting against President Trump, his supporters, and the coronavirus”

In reality, the only people I’ve heard that are voting against a boogeyman platform are the lifelong Republicans that are too ashamed to admit they like Trump because he is the opposite of everything they claim to care about and stand for. He is a horrible person and a worse leader. He is trash and everyone knows it, even the fantasy writers on the right trying to fool the masses with their fairy tales.

I did not realize QAnon had syndicated columnists now. Biden will have the highest percentage of Republican support in American history because of Trump.

Let's hope that after Trump wins this time the left will admit defeat and actually look at why people won't vote for them instead of doubling down on crazy as they have for the past four years. And let's also hope that we haven't raised millions of kids who don't understand the disaster that socialism is.

I was willing to give this guy a little attention until he writes "The last time a socialist won..." I get sick and tired of these idiots who think just calling people socialists, communists, or fascists with no factual basis somehow defines the other person's politics. Sure there are people who advocate a socialist takeover, but just because they are more liberal than you does not make them a socialist. Just because a person is more conservative than you does not make a person a facist or neo-nazi. We've had liberal presidents and we've had conservative presidents and we are not a socialist country or a facist country. We will survive this crazy election, hopefully learn from it, and four years from now, do it again. Bet on it!

I quit reading after the first twelve posts, most of which were penned by the same socialist malcontent.

PS: If Griffis wanted to lose some votes, he did the right thing in paying Feel Brant to do a commercial endorsement. Almost cost him my vote, but I'm not really into cutting off my nose.

Bryant's self-stroking ego-centrism is resoundingly repugnant. "I appointed him and I am proud of him". Exactly like the parent of a sixth grader is proud of her child making honor roll.

My main concern is adding DC as a state so 2 Senators can be added to the Democratic side and doing away with the electoral college. Do most of you want California, New York, New Jersey, Michigan, Ohio deciding our president every election? Once that occurs our country will be forever changed. Look at what Biden promises to the 35 and under crowd, free health care and we will payoff your student loans, the 2 major issues with that group. I suppose he will pay me back for my oldest daughters college and my twins present college expense that I started saving for 3 months after they were born.

I really like all the post from the "Boo Hoo, I didn't get a trophy for finishing in last place crowd"......

4:53, No, it isn't all Obama's fault. The odious "Patriot Act" was George Bush's idea. Speaking of Big George, Obama spent both terms whining about Bush. Trump talks about Obama now to link him to Biden. Obama more than doubled the debt. The debt has increased under Trump, but not at Obama's rate.

Trump hasn't constantly blamed Obama the was Obama did Bush. Bush was not a good President. Barak "manufacturing jobs aren't coming back" Obama was an awful President.

As for Gardner, he sure beats Sid and Bill as a columnist.

I am a Democrat. I am not a socialist or a Communist or a radical. I support Joe Biden because his view of the role of government is close to mine. And he is not a divider. Trump is a divider. He has lied to his base and convinced them the “left” wants to take away their liberty. And the
Republican Party for the most party has been mute in response to his constant deception. Sad.

8:08...yep been to the Blue states......same thing you see here. The Blue voters left the cites to get away from the same thing happening in Jackson.

Prime example: ST. Louis, Cincinnati, Baltimore, Detroit, Chicago, Memphis.

Last time I was in a Blue state, toured the suburbs and marveled at all the gated communities, not streets like in Jackson, but whole subdivisions with their private armed security inside the gates. There are a lot more neighborhoods in the blue states that blacks don't go, way more so that the Red states.

Coumo says the 1st amendment doesn't apply to "hate speech."

This is the first time, in my lifetime, that Texas, Georgia, and Arizona, all traditionally solid red states were considered to be "up for grabs". An entire group of Republicans (Lincoln Project) and many others are backing Biden. That is no coincidence. That should tell you all you need to know about this president and the Republican party should be worried about its future based on those things.

Before Trump, you couldn't distinguish one political party from the other. They were essentially different sides of the same coin. Trump appeared to be different even though I still have my doubts. That is why members of both corrupt parties attacked Trump on behalf of the intelligence agency's.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
