Opus 2026-504: Credit Where Credit Is Due

I’ve got to hand it to the Democrats.  They may be stupid as a massive movement and totally unaware of where their leaders are taking them, but those leaders have their act together.  I’m talking from the perspective of Texas, but I assume they pulled the same shenanigans other places.

What they did seems to be totally legal at first glance.  In their usual way of using our attempts at fairness, even handedness, and the rule of law they have jumped through all the hoops that we required and moved on into the shadows.  In Texas, there was a period where they registered to vote almost 2,000,000 people.  They did it according to the current law.  Well, most of the current law anyway.  At that time, it was not required to prove that you were a citizen to register to vote.  The part they ignored was that you still had to check the box saying you were a citizen.  Who knows if they followed that or not, but there was no checking up because we live in a trust culture.  We have this illusion that people will follow the law and try to win fair and square.

So they registered close to 2 million people and then hunkered down, waiting for the right time.  In Texas, that right time was this election.  One of the things that everybody noticed was how heavy the voting was during the beginning of the extended voting period.  I know several people that went out several days before they finally gave up and got in line.  The areas where the Democrats pulled in their extra votes all had heavy early voting records.  So what happened?  You’ve heard of how communist have sleeper cells?  They send out people to act like law abiding citizens.  They make no waves.  They keep their heads down and they wait.  So the Democrats had close to 2 million unnoticed registered voters and they sent out the email, made a phone call, sent text messages, whatever it took and said “Now is the time.”

Those people who are legally, or semi legally, registered showed up to vote.  That was the difference in the election in Texas.  Just taking governor Abbott as an example.  For this election and the previous two elections he had roughly the same amount of votes.  His Democratic opposition in the last election only had 3.5 million to his 4.5 million.  In this election he still had his 4.5 million but somehow the Democrat came up with 1.7 million votes.  This was not the old pattern of printing up ballots the night before.  They had done their homework.  They were prepared.  And they all showed up. 

So they won the election.  Were all those people who voted citizens?  We will never know.  It’s possible.  There are so many people who don’t tend to take their voting seriously but would be willing to show up if the pressure was put on to came out and vote.  That could be the carrot or the stick.  Bribes or broken bones.  Both work.

So let’s give them credit where credit is due.  They may have violated the entire social fabric of our trust society.  They may have fudged on a key little thing like actually being citizens when they check the citizen box, or they may have actually done everything legal.  But they pulled it off.

I salute them.  They may be evil but we can’t say they are the stupid party.
