Something's different with this year's election. It's unlike any that I can recall, and it may leave America unrecognizable.
Presidential elections have always been a rough business in the United States, but there was also a belief that even if your guy lost, there was always another chance that four years later your party might take the White House if you put in the work, had the right policies, and the right backing. In the meantime, you worked together where you could.
These days it seems there's no longer a give and take. Instead, we're seeing an effort to destroy the other side and to get and keep permanent power. And it really is the Democrats who do this. The Republicans don't have the interest, much less the discipline required to do so.
There were always limits to what a winning President and his administration could do-before the press and public reminded him he'd gone too far.
These limits or guardrails started breaking down when Barack Obama became President. And it's gotten worse. If you consider the Biden administration as Obama v.3, it makes sense.
PERMANENTLY CHANGING THE SYSTEMS
No administration could ever, for example, have-by executive order-opened up the borders like this one has done, with the result of probably letting in 20 million unvetted illegal immigrants. If this was India, adjust for population and that would be like letting 60 million people into the country, most of them not speaking a language anyone in India speaks, and tens of thousands of dangerous criminals, as well as a quantity of known terrorists, included in the mix.
It's a huge burden on host communities that are expected to provide services with little to no commensurate increase in budget.
Democrat elites know the cost. Remember when those few illegal immigrants were sent to the wealthy largely Democratic community of Martha's Vineyard? The locals (Democrats) got rid of them as fast as they could.
