For years, Democrats have been styling themselves as the “party of democracy.” They have characterized their political opponents, most notably former President Trump” as a “threat to democracy.” In his 2022 speech in Philadelphia, President Biden accused what he called “MAGA Republicans” of working to undermine democracy itself.

So imagine how surprising it was to read a recent story in the New York Times. It details all the ways a coalition of leftists is working to thwart Trump’s policy objectives, should he regain The White House.

How ironic. Those who claim to fight for democracy are working overtime to ensure their preferred policies remain in place — regardless of what the people actually vote for.

It gives the game away: To the left, “democracy” has nothing to do with honoring the outcome of elections. For them, “democracy” means they get to rule.
