If Democrats regain control of the United States government, the insanity of the Biden era is only the beginning.
On Friday, the Supreme Court rejected Virginia Democrats&#8217; emergency request to revive their congressional maps. You’ll recall that Virginia Democrats tried to draw a congressional map that basically reduced Republican representation to nil, a map with just one Republican seat in the entire state.
Then the Virginia Supreme Court decided that it was unconstitutional. Because of the process that had been followed, the Supreme Court declined to interfere with the Virginia Supreme Court&#8217;s ruling.
While Democrats immediately jumped into action to claim that this is all just part of the broader evil racism of the American system, Governor Abigail Spanberger suggested that the Supreme Court had chosen to nullify an election, which is not true. No election was nullified. In fact, this entire referendum was an attempt to nullify future elections by destroying the congressional map that would have allowed some Republicans to get representation in Congress.
She said, “The Supreme Court of the United States has now joined the Supreme Court of Virginia in choosing to nullify an election and the votes of more than three million Virginians.”
This is part and parcel of the goal of Democrats, which is to falsely claim that there is gigantic voter suppression of Democrats happening all over the country.

This quickly turned racial. Kamala Harris stated, “They&#8217;re basically back-dooring racism through politics. They know the power of the people, and it scares them because if they thought on merit that they would win, they wouldn&#8217;t have to resort to this cheating.”
They&#8217;re being deprived of the vote, you understand. It&#8217;s all part of the American project to deprive black people of the vote. Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) said that the Trump administration would rather have black Americans pick cotton than pick the president.
The Democrats’ goal is to ramp up the rhetoric so as to get the vote out for minority voters.
Famed intellectual Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez warbled:
<blockquote>It is not a coincidence and our whole country must understand that it was not until voting rights were ratified in this country that we got the Great Society, because when black Americans have the right to vote and that vote is protected, our schools get funded. When voting rights are protected, health care gets expanded. When voting rights are protected, our country moves forward. And Montgomery, that&#8217;s what they&#8217;re actually afraid of. They&#8217;re afraid of us coming together. They&#8217;re afraid of us protecting one another. Alabama is the crucible. Georgia is the crucible. Tennessee, Louisiana. Mississippi is the crucible. So if you are not from here, it is time to pull up. Because what they thought was the final blow is actually just the opening silo.</blockquote>
Opening “silo”?
I think she means “salvo.”
Maybe she means a grain silo? Is she going to open a grain silo?
By the way, she&#8217;s totally wrong on the facts. The idea that the Voting Rights Act preceded the Great Society programs is not true. That is a falsehood. The Great Society programs began in 1964 with the Food Stamp Act and the Economic Opportunity Act, but the Voting Rights Act was passed in 1965.
Voting rights are great. I&#8217;m very, very glad that black people can vote in outsize numbers in the United States as they do, which is why it is so stupid that we keep hearing that black people are somehow not represented in the United States government. That is incredibly dumb.
Senator Cory Booker showed up with his angry eyes in tow. He popped them in, and he got very angry. He shouted:
<blockquote>Because if we in our generation do not now do our duty, we will lose the gains and the rights and the liberties that our ancestors afforded us. Now is our generation&#8217;s time to prove worthy of the blessings. Now is our generation&#8217;s time to respond to the assaults.
You see, we have seen this before, where some people in black robes try to deny or take away our rights. We saw it with Dred Scott. We saw it with Plessy versus Ferguson. We even saw it with Korematsu. But the solution in those days was not to sit back and agonize. It was to stand up and organize and mobilize, because we still live in a democracy, no matter how much they try to undermine it. We still live in a nation where the power of the people is greater than the people in power.</blockquote>
His history is flawed. Comparing what the Supreme Court has said about the drawing of particular districts in the South in 2026 to Dred Scott, which ruled that under the Constitution, black Americans weren&#8217;t people, or Plessy v. Ferguson, which ruled that segregation was legal, or Korematsu v. United States, which argued that Japanese Americans could be interned in times of war, is not quite the same thing.
They&#8217;re all addicted to the Obama program. From 2008 to 2012, Barack Obama posed as a liberal who was going to bring Americans together without regard for race. Then, in 2012, he decided he was going to create a majority-minority coalition with some college-educated white ladies. That was the new majority going forward.
Democrats can never let go of it. They will not let go of it. And so they continue to push this forward.
This whole racial narrative is false. It&#8217;s not true on the merits. Black Americans are not deprived of the vote in the United States. That is a silly contention. There is no statistical evidence that black people are being deprived of the vote in the United States.
But you know what&#8217;s even sillier?
The idea that Democrats are wholesale in favor of pure democracy.
California uses an open primary system. The way it works is that the top two candidates advance to the runoff. Right now, there&#8217;s a possibility that Chad Bianco and Steve Hilton, both Republicans, end up at the top of the heap because there are myriad Democrats running. California Governor Gavin Newsom is openly saying that the process must be thwarted.
As we all know, the “pro-democracy” party is not so pro-democracy when it comes up against their priors.
