Maybe Shut Up, Elissa
You probably saw this earlier in the week. If you didn’t, it’s worth seeing.
Sen. Slotkin: “[The SAVE America Act] would make it hard for any Democrat in any state to win any election.” pic.twitter.com/fm2oJ0AKVg

Elissa Slotkin, the junior senator from Michigan who seems to lead the league in making statements that indicate she isn’t as smart as she thinks she is, actually said that if the SAVE America Act is passed, which would clean voter rolls and prevent foreigners from voting, it would “rig” America’s elections such that Democrats wouldn’t be able to win anywhere in the country.

This statement is absurd on some levels, but it’s also quite noteworthy on some others, in a holy-cow-did-you-just-say-the-quiet-part-out-loud? sort of way.
The most glaring absurdity in the statement is this idea that Democrats wouldn’t be able to win anywhere if the SAVE America Act were to pass. She could say something like Democrats would never be able to win a national election again, and that could well be true. In fact, we’ll get to that down the page. She could say they’d be finished trying to win a presidential election, which could also be true, but might end up true regardless, based on what Democrats are doing to themselves.
Instead, she chose demagoguery of a sort so far down the rabbit hole that it’s worth examining as an exposition of where we are with respect to political dialogue in this country.
Slotkin would now have you believe that, were the bill to pass, Detroit, Chicago, and New Orleans would suddenly turn red.
Or that California, Vermont, and Hawaii would turn red.
Nobody believes any of that is about to happen. Elissa Slotkin doesn’t believe it, and nobody in her audience believes it. But everybody goes along with what she says in this clip, because it is now a rhetorical sacrament among Democrats and the Left to say things which are plainly, performatively untrue in pursuit of some sort of advantage.
For example, the entire Democrat Party is now invested in the notion that Donald Trump is a pedophile. Every one of them knows this isn’t true, and they also know that they’re on entirely shaky ground because their party’s record makes them the ones treating pedophiles in the kindliest possible manner.
Not to mention you really don’t want to talk about Trump’s alleged misbehaviors along this line when you supported Joe Biden, whose daughter’s diary was more or less a smoking gun on the question if the nonstop parade of video clips of him creeping on other people’s children was not.
And what brought this on was a pushback from Trump on full disclosure of the Epstein files, which was probably regrettable but also likely necessary for a number of unpalatable reasons.
But in any event, there is no indication that Trump was an Epstein client or ally, and in fact, the evidence points to the opposite. On the other hand, the vast majority of known Epstein associates were Democrats.
As lies go, that one isn’t even particularly useful. It’s a self-own.
Which brings us back to Elissa Slotkin.
She’s trying to demagogue the SAVE America Act, and in the process, she tells a truth most of the country believes — and she does it during a week likely to end with a showing by the president about the integrity of American elections — or lack thereof — which certainly tipped the balance of power illegitimately toward her party.
Everything that has come out of Georgia and other states, including Slotkin’s Michigan, regarding the 2020 election has to make an objective observer less confident in the structural fortitude of our electoral system. And all of the flaws within that system are things Democrats have demanded, and Democrats have weaponized.
And Trump will speak on Thursday about this issue.
Something big is coming on election fraud.
