The story of the Trojan horse is a tale from the
Trojan-Greek War. It tells the stratagem the Greeks used to sneak into Troy and
subdue their enemy to claim victory. Historians reveal how the Greeks built a
mammoth wooden horse and hid their best warriors inside it. They placed the
horse outside the gates of Troy. They cleverly sent some of their ships sailing
off into the sunset to deceive the Trojans into believing that they had given
up and had left the horse as a gift and peace offering.
Since the election of Barack Obama, the far left has been
confident they had complete control of our republic. And within a few elections
we’d adopt their brand of new socialism. They have been choosing their next
candidate soon after they won an election. They then spent four years selling
them to voters while the right was shooting themselves in both feet debating
against themselves.
“Now that we won this election we’ll complete everything
that Barack Obama started.”
– Nancy Pelosi
When America elected Donald Trump in 2016, the left had
to spend every waking hour trying to take him out instead of promoting their
2020 candidate. Soon they were shooting themselves in both feet debating each
other, who would be the most ideal socialist to run in the 2020 election.
During the first Democratic debate, the most personal
attack was aimed at Joe Biden, not Donald Trump. Senator Kamala Harris
criticized Biden on his past position on race, and his opposition to busing.
She also chastised him for his past relationships with segregationist lawmakers
and she nailed him on his lies about being a Civil Rights worker. Biden told
Harris that her attack was "a mischaracterization of my position across the
board." But he refused to elaborate or rebuff her.
If the 2016 election had gone as planned and Hillary
Clinton had worked her magic, the left had socialist upstart Kamala Harris
primed to take over and finish the transformation of America into a socialist
promised land. But at the end of the day, when socialist darling Bernie Sanders
captured the hearts of young socialists, they snatched Joe Biden out of the old
folk’s home to be their Trojan horse.
“I was the guy who worked for Obama for years. That’s all
I have to say!”
– Joe Biden)
After the success of Donald Trump, the left knew electing
the left coast socialist in the U.S. Senate would be a tough sell to America.
So they devised a plan to get her into office using a Trojan horse. By running
Biden as a centrist, who’d flip-flop like a fish out of water, voters would
likely elect him. With Obama clone, socialist Harris as his VP, she’d enter the
White House through the back door.
Since Harris was elected to the Senate, she has the most
liberal voting record in Congress. But as Democratic nominee Biden announced
Harris as his VP, the New York Times wasted no time declaring her a “moderate.”
The Los Angeles Times labeled her a “centrist” and ABC News’ George
Stephanopoulos told viewers, “Kamala Harris comes from the middle of the road
wing of her party.”
If this sounds like false advertising, it is. According
to nonpartisan watchdogs at GovTrack, Harris was the most liberal U.S. senator
in 2019. They found Harris signed the least bipartisan bills in the Senate.
Brian Riedl of Manhattan Institute reported her proposed $46 trillion in new
spending over the next decade is “mind-numbing.” She supports the unreal Green
New Deal, socialized medicine, and free health care for illegal immigrants. She
is pro abortion and believes Catholics are unfit for the Supreme Court.
“I believe we spend way too much on police departments
and too little on people.”
– Kamala Harris
Democrats had moved so far left, they knew they’d never
woo Trump voters in battleground states by running a candidate that is so
radically left of center. That’s why when Sanders’ campaign took off like a
roadrunner on steroids, the left unearthed “good ol Joe.” They knew at age 78,
it’d be easy to send him back home and fill their entire wish list with
socialist Harris in office for a decade plus.
The radical left knew they had to appeal to moderates and
socialists to win the election. And they successfully confused those sitting on
the fence by electing a Trojan horse. They pitched Biden as a liberal to
moderates. They turned around and praised the far left voting record of Harris
to their anti-capitalist socialist comrades. They deceived gullible Americans
into electing a Trojon horse.
U.S. Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Washington, described by
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as "a highly prized rising star in the
Democratic party" and co-chair of the Progressive Caucus, appeared on a
recent late-night talk show. She said as soon as we get Biden in the White
House, we have the support to “push him to doing things he had not signed off
on.” She continued, “Biden’s moderate veneer is easily moved.”
“I know how to create political space through movement
building.”
– Rep. Pramila Jayapal
During a recent 60 Minutes interview, Kamala Harris
struggled for answers when asked about her far-left political history. When
Norah O'Donnell mentioned her political views were so different from Joe
Biden's, she replied she will share her "lived experience" and
"perspective" with him on issues. When asked if it would be her
socialist anti-capitalist views, she laughed again, “Oh No, No! It will be
those from a woman who grew up as a black child in America based on personal
experience.”
It is no wonder why most Americans do not trust the media
today. In a recent Knight Foundation poll, they found that trust in the media
is the lowest since it has been tracked. They reported that 86% of all
Americans say there is either a “large amount” or a “great deal” of political
bias in news coverage. An astonishing nine out of every 10 Americans think
journalists falsely report the news.
Democratic voters didn’t have a clue that they voted for
a Trojan Horse this election when they cast their vote for Biden. Moderate and
radical Democrats alike voted for a socialist administration that will climb
out of the Biden Trojan horse’s belly within days after the election is
certified. By the time Harris leaves office in a decade, “America will be home
to the socialists and the land of the wimps.”
The left wanted to replace capitalism with socialism for
decades and America would not buy it. But this time they fooled voters just as
the Greeks hoodwinked the Trojans. Voters didn’t remember to “beware of Greeks
baring gifts!” They are always a booby prize. We just saw history repeat
itself. This proved “There’s a sucker born every decade.”
“The tactics of Lenin, Hitler and Mussolini, and the
invasion of New Deal Collectivism were introduced by the same Trojan horse.”
