The Left may have just tightened its clasp over America. But patriots can’t afford to give up now.
As of Wednesday morning, Democrat Raphael Warnock, a left-wing “pastor” and former chair of Stacey Abrams’ New Georgia Project (an organization dedicated to combating “voter suppression” by seeking the elimination of safeguards against voter fraud), was declared by the media to have beaten incumbent Senator Kelly Loeffler (R) in one of the Georgia Senate runoff contests. Warnock led Loeffler by over 53,000 votes for a tally of 50.6 percent to 49.4 percent.
The other Senate race was deemed too close to call, though Democrat Jon Ossoff led Republican Senator David Perdue by over 16,000 votes with 98 percent of precincts reporting.
Unless some drastic changes occur, this would mean Democrats will have won both Senate seats, creating a 50-50 divide in the chamber which, assuming an additional vote for Democrats should Kamala Harris become vice president and thereby president of the Senate, will spell a return to Democrat control.
Paired with the already Democrat-run House of Representatives, this would give the nation’s liberal party control of the three branches of government, theoretically enabling Democrats to enact whatever legislation they want.
That’s a worrisome prospect for Americans who understand the implications and consequences of the far-left agenda Joe Biden is fully on board with. The Green New Deal, socialized medicine, COVID totalitarianism at the federal level, gun confiscations, amnesty for illegal aliens, and cooperation with the globalist Great Reset will all be on the table when Democrats run the show unchallenged.
Of course, there are some glimmers of hope that the Left may yet be thwarted in its attempt to dominate every part of the federal government. A last-minute change in one of the Georgia Senate races may occur. Senator Joe Manchin (D-W.V.), known for often siding with Republicans, may break party ranks to kill some of the most extreme left-wing proposals. And, of course, President Trump may yet prevail in his bid to defy voter fraud and secure a second term.
Nevertheless, the situation does look dire — but that doesn’t mean the show’s over. If anything, Democrat takeover of the federal government could provide American patriots both the opportunity and impetus to reject tyranny and get the country back to the basics of the Constitution.
In the face of a socialist presidency and Congress, the “resistance” (to borrow the Left’s popular term) should take the form of states employing their nullification power to flatly refuse to implement or cooperate with unconstitutional policies — be they legislation or executive orders — from Washington.
Nullification is a concept of legal statutory construction that recognizes each state’s right to nullify, or invalidate, any federal measure that a state deems unconstitutional. It is founded on the assertion that the sovereign states formed the union, and as creators of the compact, they hold ultimate authority as to the limits of the power of the central government to enact laws that are applicable to the states and the citizens thereof.
Alexander Hamilton articulated the principle of nullification in The Federalist, No. 33:
If a number of political societies enter into a larger political society, the laws which the latter may enact, pursuant to the powers intrusted [sic] to it by its constitution, must necessarily be supreme over those societies and the individuals of whom they are composed…. But it will not follow from this doctrine that acts of the larger society which are not pursuant to its constitutional powers, but which are invasions of the residuary authorities of the smaller societies, will become the supreme law of the land. These will be merely acts of usurpation, and will deserve to be treated as such.
Although proponents of the centralization of power have successfully given the federal government greater reach into the affairs of states, the states and localities of America still retain much control over what goes on within their borders and Washington still relies on them to administer and enforce its policies.
Thus, in many instances, all it will take to avoid living under socialist policies is for the legislators and governors in liberty-minded states to show some backbone and simply refuse to carry out the unconstitutional whims of a Democrat White House and Congress.
If, for example, Washington passes gun control and demands gun confiscations, red states such as Texas or Florida can say neither their state government nor localities will enforce it.
Of course, in such a case, Washington may try to get around the state by empowering ATF or other federal agents in the state to do the job instead. There would be inevitable clashes between the state and federal government. That’s simply part of the struggle for liberty.
Such a future would rightfully place the focus of power back to where it’s supposed to be: in the states, specifically in the state legislatures. The loss of Congress and the White House, therefore, could at least have a silver lining if it ultimately leads to more state sovereignty.
For this reason, it is vitally important that patriots in every part of the country become informed and involved in their state and local government. Although the closeness of these governments to the people mean the average person can have greater say in them, and despite the fact that they so often impact our lives more than federal policy, much of the public pays little attention to what goes on in the state capitol or in city hall; this is, in part, because the mainstream media is nationalized and thus blows up national issues at the expense of local ones.
If America’s constitutionalists get back to their roots and begin now to organize and launch information and pressure campaigns on their state and local governments, we can effectively take the fangs out of a Democrat-dominated Washington.
