The Bernhard Perspective

In his ranting screed about taking over the election process in this country, Donald T**** said “We are now the only country in the world that uses Mail-in-voting. All others gave it up because of the MASSIVE VOTER FRAUD ENCOUNTERED.”

This of course is a lie. More than 30 other countries permit postal voting for some or all voters. This includes Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, Switzerland, Denmark and South Korea, among others. In Switzerland, around 90% of voters utilize mail-in ballots. Germany and the UK both have widespread postal voting.

And then he said: “Remember, the States are merely an ‘agent’ for the Federal Government and tabulating the votes, They must do what the Federal Government, represented by the President of the United States, tells them to do.”

And that, too, is a lie. No president simply “tells us what to do.” Dictators do that. Tyrants and kings do that. But only the American people are sovereign in this country. And we are the people.

T****’s lying is no surprise. That he is doing so as justification for his plan to solidify his one-man, strong-arm dictatorial rule by taking over the election process is no surprise, either. That he is not afraid to speak it out loud is absolutely frightening.

He already has his toadies promoting him for a third term, and he has supported the idea of suspending elections in wartime. This was not done in either the Civil War nor WWII, but of course neither history nor precedent matter to him. I am quite certain he believes he can start a war any time he wants.

T**** has told the country exactly what he plans to do and how he plans to do it. His stated goal is to rule over us. His plan is already in the works. The people have already begun to respond, and rightfully so.

From the great metropolitan centers to the most diminutive of towns, our righteous anger and discontent are palpable. T****’s numbers continue to fall. And as his popular support dwindles, his determination to maintain his grasp on the reins of power even past the end of his term will only harden.

If T**** and the MAGA’s can hijack the 2026 mid-terms, and there is good reason to believe they can unless we stop him, American democracy will go quietly into that long good-night. The Great Experiment will be over. Autocracy will rule. This cannot be. It is time.

Indeed, As Thunderclap Newman said back in 1969:

“Call out the instigator

Because there’s something in the air.

We’ve got to get it together sooner or later

Because the revolution’s here.

And you know that it’s right.“

It’s not like we haven’t been warned.
