Insurrection Chic​

Democrats now celebrate the very nullificationist tactics they once decried, embracing a neo-Confederate defiance of federal authority to undermine a president they despise.​

Is Jeff Davis the Model?
Who is the real, or fictional, inspiration for the new insurrectionary wing of the Democrat Party?
The fictitious Hollywood insurrectionist, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, “James Mattoon Scott” (Burt Lancaster), who in the 1964 film Seven Days in May attempted to overthrow the presidency?
Or perhaps Jefferson Davis? He ultimately ordered the attack by South Carolina state forces against the federal garrison at Fort Sumter, which ignited the Civil War.
Or is the better inspiration the “Stand in the Schoolhouse Door?” Alabama Governor George Wallace likewise vowed to use his state’s law enforcement to nullify a federal law.
Yet how odd that the left, which had lectured us so often about a January 6th “insurrection”—a charge that not even the Javert-like special counsel Jack Smith ever lodged against Donald Trump—now talks frequently about the proud nullification of our nation’s federal laws.
The New Confederacy
Democrats weirdly boast of the subordination of the Constitution to international statutes. Our governors and mayors in blue states and cities take neo-Confederate vows to oppose the national government’s right to protect its own property, to direct its own employees, and to enforce our shared federal laws.
Over a decade ago, some 600 “sanctuary cities” declared that they were immune from the full enforcement of federal law. They further boasted that they would not hand over illegal aliens, detained by state or local authorities, to federal agents.
These were strange threats. Not long ago, at the 1992 and 1996 Democratic conventions, liberal grandees like Bill and Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi had vowed to stop all would-be illegal aliens from unlawfully entering the U.S.

Fort Sumter?
Democratic officials are also currently calling for organized and state-sanctioned opposition to the federal government, in near-Bleeding Kansas or Fort Sumter insurrectionary fashion.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson claims he will use his city resources to actively thwart ICE duties. In deranged fashion, he threatens to call in the UN to prevent federal law enforcement. He apparently treats the Constitution as nothing, as if Johnson were elected not by fellow citizens but by global voters from Iran to North Korea.
Johnson’s idiocy is no mere boast: when a trapped convoy of ICE vehicles was recently besieged by violent protesters, local Chicago-area police were told to stand way out.
In Portland, the local police sometimes advise violent Antifa-related protesters on strategies for their anti-ICE street activities, presumably to help them avoid arrest.

As a de facto insurrectionist, Mamdani would claim that international human rights activists, or the International Criminal Court (?), deserve greater legal authority inside the U.S. than do Americans’ own elected federal government.
~Snip~
The common theme?
The desperate left feels the more insurrectionary tensions they can gin up, the more that the ensuing domestic crises hurt an elected president whom they loathe.
They assume they are exempt from following the law because they believe they are our moral and intellectual superiors.
And so for the next four years, they will once again insist they can ignore or violate with contempt any federal law they please—as the nation is heading toward widespread civil insurrection of the left’s own neo-Confederate making.


Commentary:
Another insightful thesis by Victor Davis Hanson... .
Many intelligent American citizens saw this happening during the Biden regime.
The regime used inflammatory rhetoric against President Trump and those around him to prepare the citizenry for its lawfare against the same. But they couldn’t help mention how they felt about the people who voted for him. The regime did what Obama always wanted to but didn’t have the guts to until he had a stooge in the White House to do his dirty work for him. Even then, the regime waited for its lawfare to work, which its minions were sure it would. But hubris for politicians is as much of an Achilles’ Heel as it is for authoritarians when they make enemies out of the wrong people. It’s why President Trump survived to bring down the Democrats’ house of cards, a deed about which they are absolutely furious. The imperative for Constitutionalists is to prevent Democrats’ election fraud at all costs and keep the public well-informed about their lawless behavior.
Should Democrats steal another national election, they will eventually plunge the country into instability for the sake of taking revenge against President Trump and the people who voted for him, and they will blame everyone else except themselves.
The factor in play is merely arrogant ignorance.
The City States believe they hold all the cards in a winning hand while failing to account for Presidential power granted by the Constitution. They rely on lawyers and judges to make foolish decisions based on faulty interpretation of the law.
