Being a “democrat” means readily accepting radicals, illegals, pedophiles, rapists, murderers, terrorists and many other types of criminal miscreants, unadulterated into America. There are many people on the political left that are out to destroy America. Don’t kid yourself, we’re currently waging an ideological war inside of our country. Pray @realDonaldTrump is able to get this under control and we can see our way clearly through these absolutely tumultuous and historic times. Also pray as the warmer months arrive, we don’t have a return to the “summer of 2020” (another delaying tactic). Going forward (always forward), we have to remain firm in our convictions as to what America stands for, courageous and strong for the values and principles America was founded upon, and convinced that our way of life here at home, under our constitutional republican form of government based on a fair rule of law, still remains the best form of government in human history. 1 Corinthians 16:13 @AGPamBondi

There are many people on the political left that are out to destroy America. rejected https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/08/us/tyranny-of-the-minority-american-democracy-cec The January 6 insurrectionists who stormed the Capitol building and the politicians who use openly authoritarian language are often depicted as the biggest threats to democracy. Yet “democracy’s assassins” always have political accomplices who appear to abide by democratic norms but quietly undermine them, the authors say.
There are many people on the political left that are out to destroy America. rejected https://edition.cnn.com/2024/10/13/politics/trump-military-enemy-from-within-election-day/index.html Former President Donald Trump suggested using the military to handle what he called “the enemy from within” on Election Day, saying that he isn’t worried about chaos from his supporters or foreign actors, but instead from “radical left lunatics.”

The summer of 2020 was used as a delaying tactic. rejected https://www.vox.com/22180261/covid-19-coronavirus-social-distancing-lockdowns-flatten-the-curve Slowing the spread of Covid-19 was meant to buy time to figure out what came next. But the US never did.
The summer of 2020 was used as a delaying tactic. rejected https://www.pbs.org/wnet/peril-and-promise/2023/01/extinction-rebellion-shifts-away-from-public-disruption/ For example, in the summer of 2020, 67% of Americans supported the Black Lives Matter movement, but only 6% of the population participated in demonstrations. This means less than 10% of the movement’s supporters mobilized for public protests. And that’s not a bad thing for a movement — supporters can vote, donate, write, talk to friends and family, call representatives, post to social media, and take action in many other ways than taking to the streets.
America's constitutional republican form of government based on a fair rule of law remains the best form of government in human history. rejected https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2024/09/30/constitution-book-reviews-chemerinsky-pierson-schickler Chemerinsky is a political progressive and a lively thinker. In 2014, he published a book titled “The Case Against the Supreme Court.” This was a blame-the-Court book. In it, he argued that “the Court has frequently failed, throughout American history, at its most important tasks, at its most important moments.”

🤖 Conclusion [10/100]: The statement is a highly partisan and pejorative characterization of Democrats and the political left, accusing them of welcoming criminals and seeking to destroy America. No credible evidence supports these claims; the idea that being a Democrat means accepting criminal miscreants is not substantiated and is a misrepresentation. Source references demonstrate that the idea of the left seeking to destroy the country is explicitly rejected by multiple reputable analyses. The statement that America is currently experiencing an ideological war has some support, as increased polarization is widely recognized. Claims about the summer of 2020 being a 'delaying tactic' are not only unproven but contradicted by sources explaining the events (COVID response, BLM protests) as driven by other factors. Assertions regarding America's government being the 'best in human history' are subjective, with sources showing significant debate about its performance. Therefore, the overall truthfulness of the statement is very low—dramatically overgeneralized and misleading, with little factual basis beyond acknowledging present-day political conflict.
