Writing in the New York Post on February 4, Tennessee Law School law professor Gleen Reynolds questioned why the left, which has taken control of the White House and the U.S. Congress and called for a “return to normalcy” in America, is still afraid of a former president they have already “defeated. They have already “defeated” the former president.
In the article, he writes that the left, which already has the White House, is claiming that they have defeated former President Trump in the 2020 election, that they are firmly in control of the White House and Congress, and that the U.S. will therefore return to normalcy, promising that “America is ready to go again” and that essentially all mainstream media are delivering this “good news”.
Yet, the article says, what the left is doing casts doubt on that claim, since isn’t the U.S. Congress still hidden behind a 12-foot fence and guarded by the National Guard? Would a very confident ruling party use high tech companies and the media to silence opposition? Would a very confident ruling party call for a second impeachment of a previous president who had left office to ensure he would not return to the White House? Even Bill Clinton, who did not win an overwhelming majority in the election, did not impeach George H.W. Bush Sr. after he entered the White House to prevent him from taking the reins again.
Thus Redz argues that the left is far less confident than they appear, that they are nervous, insecure, and preparing to strike at any known threat because what they are demonstrating is not strength and power, but fear and weakness, and that their fear is that Trump will rise again and have the support of the American public and therefore pose a real threat to them again.
Redz then cited the results of the Rasmussen polling center to analyze the reasons for the left’s unease. He wrote that the Rasmussen poll on Wednesday, Feb. 3, showed that nearly 50 percent of voters are worried about the integrity of the U.S. election, with 47 percent believing that there was general election fraud in the 2020 presidential election; 45 percent of voters want a debate on the integrity of the election.
When Trump left office on Jan. 20, the public approval of his job was 51 percent (this was after the Capitol Hill riots of Jan. 6); the same poll also showed that the public approved of Biden‘s job on his first day at 48 percent.”
Redz believes that when 50 percent of a country’s population is worried about the sincerity of the U.S. election, it could be a disaster for the party in power, because in a democracy, the loser concedes defeat as long as he or she loses fairly and honorably, and in the 2020 election, the majority of Americans lost unwillingly and unconvincingly.
Redz concludes, “A sane, rational and confident Congress would take steps to ensure that the U.S. election is trustworthy and take security measures to reassure those who have doubts about the U.S. election; unfortunately, there is no such Congress in America now, and that is not a good thing for everyone.”
