Kamala’s Concession, Sort Of

Donald Trump dodged a bullet on July 13th, and America dodged a bullet on November 5th when Trump won the election.

 

In her concession speech yesterday, Kamala Harris offered a few throwaway lines about accepting the results. But, just in case anyone had any doubts, she also announced that the left’s resistance to Trump will begin immediately.

 

Harris said she and her leftist allies “will never give up the fight” to destroy innocent preborn babies or take away your Second Amendment rights. Then she vowed to “continue this fight in the courts and in the public square.”

 

Given what we have seen in recent years, that sounds like a call for more lawfare, weaponizing the legal system against conservatives, and for more riots in the streets.

 

In fact, governors in Nevada, Oregon, and Washington State mobilized the National Guard before Election Day just to be safe. Businesses in Washington, D.C., also began boarding up last week. Officials in Las Vegas, Portland, Seattle, and the District of Columbia were worried about leftist Antifa riots, not MAGA riots.

 

Some people might say that Trump did not graciously concede four years ago. The situation then was very different. In 2020, Trump lost the presidency by just 43,000 votes spread across three states in an election full of irregularities and outright violations of the law. (Here, here, and here.)

 

Harris lost resoundingly. She had no choice but to concede. She would have to reverse the results in a dozen or more states by millions of votes. But she did try to steal the election.

 

For the past four years, Harris, Biden, and their radical allies frantically tried to steal the election. They did everything they could think of, starting with Nancy Pelosi’s January 6th kangaroo court.

 

Then they weaponized federal law enforcement and the legal system against Trump. They raided his home. They tried to put Trump in jail. They tried to bankrupt him. They tried kicking him off the ballot.

 

That’s not defending democracy. That’s what dictators do!

 

After Abraham Lincoln won the presidency in 1860, Stephen Douglas, who was also a candidate for president, told Lincoln, “Partisan feeling must yield to patriotism. I’m with you, Mr. President, and God bless you.”

 

That kind of unity would be great. But today’s neo-Marxist left rejects God, and it hates patriotism because it hates America. If you love Jesus and love America, the left says you’re a dangerous “Christian nationalist” and a threat to the country.

 

So, as long as the left is fighting for its radical agenda (see below), we must also continue fighting for Faith, Family, and Freedom.
