The Democrat battle cry has become, “We must defeat Trump if we are to preserve democracy.” Far from it! If the truth is told, Trump must win the election in November if we are to preserve democracy. As Elon Musk recently stated, “Very few Americans realize that, if Trump is NOT elected, this will be the last election,” Here are Musk’s own words explaining why this is the case:

Very few Americans realize that if Trump is NOT elected, this will be the last election. Far from being a threat to democracy, he is the only way to save it!

 

Let me explain: if even 1 in 20 illegals become citizens per year, something that the Democrats are expediting as fast as humanly possible, that would be about 2 million new legal voters in 4 years. The voting margin in the swing states is often less than 20 thousand votes. That means if the “Democratic” Party succeeds, there will be no more swing states!!

 

Moreover, the Biden/Harris administration has been flying ‘asylum seekers,’ who are fast-tracked to citizenship, directly into swing states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin and Arizona. It is a surefire way to win every election. 

 

America then becomes a one-party state, and democracy is over. The only ‘elections’ will be the Democratic Party primaries. This already happened in California many years ago, following the 1986 amnesty. 

 

The only thing holding California back from extreme socialism and suffocating government policies is that people can leave California and still remain in America. Once the whole country is controlled by one party, there will be no escape. 

 

Everywhere in America will be like the nightmare that is downtown San Francisco. 

This statement was provided on Musk’s social media X page on September 28. He doubled down on his comments when he spoke at Butler, Pennsylvania, on October 5 at a rally commemorating 12 weeks since the July 13 attempted assassination of former President Trump.

There can be no more apparent evidence of the Democrat’s desire to take and permanently hold power than the evidence showing they are doing everything within their power to corrupt the voting process. A large part of this evidence is doing everything they can to ensure that voters do not have to show an ID to prove they are qualified to vote. This seems quite out of place when nearly everything else done in America requires an ID – from getting a fishing license to cashing a check, to establishing utilities, to purchasing alcoholic drinks, to getting a library card. There can be no reason not to require an ID to vote other than election fraud. No one would be disenfranchised from the vote for not having an ID, which can be freely obtained with proof of citizenship. That claim is merely a canard propagated to ensure an ID-free vote.

Other avenues that lead to corruption in elections is the fact that states like Illinois are now providing driver’s licenses to illegal aliens. These driver’s licenses can be used fraudulently to register to vote in some states. In other states, such as Illinois, one merely needs to attest or swear that they are US citizens, with no proof of citizenship required. If you are still unsure of Democrats’ intent to defraud the American public of a legitimate outcome of elections, read the other ten things they are doing in my editorial, Election Integrity.

There can be no question that the Democrats, like the Communist Party of Russia before it, seek one-party rule on both state and national levels. Remember, the Communists took control of Russia by force of arms in 1917 and much of Eastern Europe after World War II. The Communist party had one-party rule, and no one could speak out against their socialist system unless they were to suffer the pains of imprisonment or even death in the Gulag or another of their many other penal systems.

In such a legislature, the majority party holds a significant advantage in the number of seats, allowing it to control the legislative agenda and decision-making processes. The majority party can easily pass legislation without substantial opposition from the minority party.

In the United States, many states have experienced periods of one-party dominance, such as the Republican-controlled legislatures in states like Texas or the Democratic-controlled ones in California and New York. The implications of such dominance can vary, affecting everything from policy-making to representation and governance.

In Illinois, the progressive Democrat party holds a substantial majority in the State Senate and House of Representatives. Democrats currently control both chambers. The Senate has 59 seats, and Democrats hold a supermajority (at least 37 seats), allowing them to pass legislation without Republican support. The Illinois House of Representatives has 118 seats. Similarly, Democrats hold a supermajority (71+ seats), giving them substantial legislative power.

This dominance influences the legislative agenda, making it easier for the majority party to pass laws without significant opposition from the minority party. This situation can lead to challenges for bipartisan collaboration and may shape policy direction in ways that reflect the majority’s priorities. The voice of the minority is effectively silenced, and, in our case, conservatives are disenfranchised. This dominance has led to a lack of bipartisan cooperation and has often resulted in policies that reflect only the views of the majority party.

We might say that the state legislature suffers from an “urban dominance.” Democrats draw significant support from urban areas, particularly Chicago and Cook County, as well as the suburbs. This base has provided a solid foundation for their electoral success. This has led to specific policy priorities.

Democrats in Illinois tend to focus on issues like expanding healthcare access, raising the minimum wage, addressing climate change, and investing in public education and infrastructure. They have passed progressive legislation, such as legalizing marijuana, and have pushed for criminal justice reform – things that conservative downstate residents tend to oppose.

Illinois Republicans typically advocate for lower taxes, smaller government, fiscal responsibility, and pro-business policies. They have consistently opposed Democratic efforts to raise taxes and have been vocal critics of the state’s pension crisis and overall fiscal management.

Democrats are a real threat to democracy. This is demonstrated in how they have dominated mainstream media, major news networks, social media, newspapers, Hollywood, radio stations, and public schools and colleges. It would appear they are on a roll to take over the nation.

We, as Americans, really don’t want to see Democrats with absolute power. They have shown themselves to be incompetent, morally corrupt, and entirely self-serving. These individuals and the institutions under their control fail in their duties due to poor ability, unethical behavior, and prioritizing personal gain over the common good. The real threat to democracy is the Democrat party, not Donald J. Trump.
