As the Democrat Party and its sock puppets in the media continue their fear-based campaign with the 2024 presidential election just ten months away, one — an uninformed one, that is — would think all that stands between freedom in America and a brutal dictatorship is 81-year-old Joe Biden.

As my colleague Nick Arama reported on January 5, Biden delivered an angry delusional speech in which he "demonized millions of Americans, rambled and slurred his way through an attack on former president Donald Trump, and tried to pitch fear in the country over Jan. 6."

The embattled president claimed:

[We] nearly lost America on Jan. 6, nearly lost it all. ... Democracy is on the ballot. 

But is it? We'll get back to that.

As I reported, last Monday "The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg warned viewers (emphasis, mine):

What we're seeing by the Republican Party, and I give it to them, we're seeing a long game. We're seeing that they are dismantling or attempting to dismantle institutions.

[...]

Women don't have reproductive rights anymore over their own bodies. Why? So they can have power over women. 

[...]

The Republicans are intentionally dumbing down our electorate, erasing history, so that [the] past can become prologue, and so they can remain in power!

[...]

[T]there's a reason Joe Biden ran the way he did. There's a reason he’s running for democracy now, because that’s really what’s at stake.

You’re worried that you can't pay your bill? Wait until the other guy becomes president, and you won’t have to worry about it because you'll be in some camp somewhere, because that's his promise.

So "the other guy" is going to put you "in some camp, somewhere, because that's his promise"? I must have missed the memo.

Not to be outdone, former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) warned in her best-selling book "Oath and Honor: A Memoir and a Warning" that the 2024 election "might be the last real vote you cast," as she fear-mongered herself silly about the diabolic evils of Donald Trump.

As legal scholar and TV commentator Jonathan Turley observed, in a recent column:

If one briefly surfs cable news, you would think that this election is the only thing that stands between democracy and tyranny. On MSNBC, hosts like Joe Scarborough have repeatedly told viewers that former President Donald Trump will “throw away” democracy if elected.

President Joe Biden himself has taken up this claim. In his speech Friday near Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, Biden insisted that “democracy itself is on the ballot” and said that this election would determine if democracy can survive in the United States.

As Turley pointed out, the histrionic pitch from the left would be more compelling if the Democrats weren't trying to remove Trump from 2024 ballots and if Democrats in other states weren't refusing to allow other candidates to run against Biden in their primaries.

Ah, but that's the essence of the Democrat Party, isn't it? 

If the Democrats actively work to steal an election, they promptly accuse the Republicans of trying to steal the same election. And as we see here, when Democrats howl at the moon about "democracy" being "on the ballot," one can rest assured that it's the Democrat Party threatening our democracy — not the Republicans.

Turley also touched on the Jan. 6, 2021, events at the Capitol, which the Democrats continue to call an "insurrection" and a threat to democracy in America.

Jan. 6 was many things, and all of them bad − save for one vital thing: Our system worked.

The Capitol riot was only the latest stress test for a system that has survived wars, economic collapse, and social divisions. Despite an assault inside our Capitol, the system held and functioned as it was designed. And despite the claims of some partisans, we were never “dangerously close to losing it all.”

It was a desecration of our system but also the triumph of that system. Members of both parties quickly reassembled to carry out their constitutional functions. Our nation’s vice president held firm despite pressure from the president and threats from an angry mob against his very life to certify the election.

As the legislative branch fulfilled its constitutional duties, the judiciary did the same. Trump-appointed judges and justices voted against the incumbent president’s claims and cleared the path for the Biden inauguration.

We can recognize the gravity of that riot without engaging in the type of hyperbole that is now being bantered about in the campaign.

Whether one agrees with Turley on "all of the above," or not, we can all agree that the Republic held, despite the Democrats' hysterical rhetoric to the contrary and claims that the country stood at the precipice of the abyss.

Finally, Turley laid down some logic:

To suggest that this may be our last democratic election is to suggest that both branches (and the population at large) would stand idly by as a president assumed tyrannical powers. That did not occur, even when this country was united by wars and national emergencies. With the nation now divided right down the middle, it is even less likely.

That is why the “democracy is on the ballot” claims border on defamation against our Constitution. We have the most successful and stable democratic system in history. The success of that system is not measured by those who would riot or challenge our values. It is measured by how the system responds. Our system works because it was not only written for times of relative unity and calm, it also was written for times like these.

Joe Biden, the Democrat Party, and MSNBC were unavailable for comment. 

The Bottom Line

No, democracy will not be on the ballot in November. That said, the 2024 presidential election might very well prove to be the most important presidential election of our lifetime. 

While democracy won't be on the ballot, America as we know it likely will be.
