While waiting for Trump to name his vice presidential pick at the Republican Convention, followed by the inevitable dumping of Joe Biden, it’s an excellent time to identify the issues the new Democratic ticket will run on. One might think the economy, including inflation, the border, and the decline of many cities with rising crime and homelessness. Still, you’d be wrong—troubles abroad, with wars in Ukraine and Gaza with the attendant rise in antisemitism, not so much. The new candidates will finesse all these, saying we will reevaluate our positions on these issues.

Of course, Kamala Harris isn’t eligible for this option as an integral part of the Biden administration. Hence, she will follow Joe off the ticket. Rather than draw attention to Democratic failures, the area of attack besides abortion is fear of that monster, Donald Trump. They tell us the ex-president “will be a dictator on the first day” of his return. Democracy as we know it is over-Political opponents charged with various crimes—executive orders flying in every direction. The future of our “Democracy” is now a significant election issue.

Unfortunately, Democrats aren’t the only ones seeing attacks on democracy. Republicans, already suspicious of election-voting shenanigans, have seen their candidate subjected to “lawfare” on an unprecedented scale. Had the Supreme Court not declared the president immunity for presidential acts, a New York court could’ve sentenced Donald Rump to prison just before the convention declared him the Republican presidential candidate.

While Democrats claim Trump will take revenge on his political opponents, everyone can see the progressives are already doing it to him. Putting a presidential candidate in prison is the stuff of banana republics.

Upset about their collapsing lawfare attack, the Democrats are now threatening the Supreme Court with investigations and packing for having protected present and future presidents from being imprisoned by their opponents. Who is attacking democracy?

Still, Trump’s continuing unpopularity with the majority of the public is the only line of assault; the Democrats and their media allies have to find something new to strike fear in voters’ hearts. They are basing their latest offensive on “Project 2025,” a proposal compiled by the right-leaning Heritage Foundation suggesting how a second Trump presidency should proceed.
