RUSH: This is Brad in Owensboro, Kentucky. It\u2019s great to have you, sir. I\u2019m glad you waited. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Mega dittos, Rush, from the Bluegrass State.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Great to have you with us.<\/p>\n

\"\"CALLER: I always wanted to talk to you. I was telling Mr. Snerdley, I think we finally reached the point that you have always said we would get to where the Democrats are done with elections. They don\u2019t care anymore. They don\u2019t think we\u2019re smart enough to self-govern, and so they\u2019re gonna try and steal this one, and it really doesn\u2019t matter how many people vote or what we do. They\u2019re gonna try and steal it, because it\u2019s their last chance for a generation.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, two things. How are they gonna steal it? You said they\u2019re tired of competing in elections, meaning campaigning. What I think is they\u2019re really tired of being rejected. They\u2019re tired of people they don\u2019t respect having a say-so in whether they win or lose.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s what bugs \u2019em. They don\u2019t think they should have to run. They don\u2019t believe they need to subject themselves to the opinion of a bunch of people they don\u2019t respect.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: So given that they don\u2019t really believe in elections, and how they gonna steal this?<\/p>\n

CALLER: They\u2019re gonna go to the communist model of having an election where the results don\u2019t matter. They\u2019re gonna do mail-in ballots. They\u2019re gonna do (crosstalk) —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh.<\/p>\n

CALLER: They\u2019re gonna burn the country down. They\u2019re gonna do whatever they have to do —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Oh.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — to change the actual vote.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I see. So they\u2019re not gonna cancel the election. They\u2019re just gonna try to overwhelm it?<\/p>\n

CALLER: For sure, and that\u2019s what their mentors in the Communist Party have always done. They always had elections. It\u2019s just the people didn\u2019t really get to choose.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, their mentors in the Communist Party wiped out elections. I mean, Putin gets 97% of the vote. Castro gets all the votes — or got. They still do them. To create the illusion as some sort of democratic result here, that some dictator is actually loved and adored and preferred by the people that he\u2019s got in jail. But, no, I think… You know, I\u2019ve always believed — and this is a psychological thing, folks.<\/p>\n

\"\"This is a psychological analysis of these people. They resent the whole premise behind elections. Look, they don\u2019t believe they should have to persuade anybody to agree with them. Therefore, they don\u2019t believe in campaigns. They don\u2019t believe in the free, open exchange of ideas. There aren\u2019t any legitimate ideas outside of their own.<\/p>\n

They don\u2019t believe in giving legitimacy to anybody who is not already on their side. So if this is who they are psychologically — if they have no interest in persuading people, if they have no interest in acquiring power as a result of massive public support — then who are they? What are they? They want power simply to have it. They don\u2019t want it to derive from the people.<\/p>\n

They don\u2019t want it to derive from persuading people that their ideas are the best — and where is all of that codified? All of that thinking, all of that behavior is codified in elections. What are elections about? Elections are about trying to persuade people to support you, to vote for you. Based on what? Well, it could be any number of things.<\/p>\n

It could be you\u2019re better looking than the other guy. You\u2019re gonna give away more welfare than the other guy. You\u2019re gonna beat our enemies better than anybody else. Whatever it is, elections are the result of persuading millions of people to support you. They resent having to do that. One reason is they\u2019re a minority. They can\u2019t persuade a majority of people.<\/p>\n

They can\u2019t persuade a majority of Americans to support Black Lives Matter. They can\u2019t persuade a majority of Americans to support burning down American cities and private property. They can\u2019t persuade a majority of Americans to go along with their ideas on guns and eliminating free speech. They can\u2019t persuade anybody to agree with that!<\/p>\n

Those are things they\u2019re gonna have to force on people, and they are more than willing and eager to force that stuff on you, but they need the power to do it. So they have to go through the motions. The modern-day Democrats have to go through the motions of campaigning, and they have to go through the motions of trying to win the hearts and minds of voters.<\/p>\n

But they resent the hell out of it. And in their world, it\u2019s the one thing standing in their way: This need, this requirement to win elections. And I\u2019m just telling you: As soon as they can figure out a way to eliminate elections, they will do it, \u2019cause they resent the hell out of it. This is… (interruption) Mr. Snerdley, the program observer, just said to me over the IFB.<\/p>\n

He said, “I gotta admit something. When I first heard you say that the left and Democrats ultimately want to do away with elections, I thought you were going insane. I thought you were mad. I thought that all of this had finally gotten to you.” Well, that has to be some years ago now when I first advanced the theory. But now you say you can see it?<\/p>\n

(interruption) “They\u2019re doing it in front of our faces.” They really are. They are attempting to win elections without broad public support. That\u2019s what they\u2019re trying to do. That\u2019s just another way of phrasing what they\u2019re doing. How do you win elections without broad public support?<\/p>\n

You have to cheat. You have to game the system. Most people who consider themselves Americans and practitioners of small-D democracy, believe in the sanctity of elections. They believe in the sanctity of campaigning and convincing a majority of Americans to support them.<\/p>\n

\"\"That\u2019s where you get your mandate. That\u2019s where you get the power to implement your ideas. And the more people voting for you, the more power you have, the bigger mandate you got. These people resent having to get a mandate. Why should they have to get public approval? Screw these idiots. You, screw you. Why should you have to give them approval? Why should you have a say-so in whether they can do what they want to do or not?<\/p>\n

That\u2019s who these people are, and they\u2019re so ticked off they\u2019re burning down your town; they\u2019re burning down your city. They resent the hell out of having to please you. They resent the hell needing your support. They hate it. They\u2019re not interested in your support. They\u2019re not interested in what you think. They\u2019re not interested in your point of view. They don\u2019t care to have to find out who you are and how to persuade you. And they resent the hell out of the fact they have to do it.<\/p>\n

And I\u2019m just telling you, the sooner they can figure out how they can get what they want without elections — and the only way they can do it is violence, intimidation, or cheating — they will do it. Right now they are attempting to win elections without winning broad public support. Now, some of you might say, “Rush, I\u2019m not sure that\u2019s right. I see Biden campaigning.” No, you don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

How many of you can tell me what the hell the guy\u2019s for? He just denounced everything that the Bernie Sanders agenda\u2019s all about. He just denounced the Green New Deal. He just denounced a bunch of things that he had to promise to support in order to get the nomination. The Democrats have never been up front and honest about what their agenda really is. It\u2019s only in the past couple years of Trump when they\u2019ve been driven insane that they\u2019re being somewhat forthcoming about who they are and what they believe in.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re living in the illusion that more and more Americans are starting to agree with them because more and more Americans they think hate Trump. And along the way they\u2019re taking for granted the black vote\u2019s gonna be there, the Hispanic vote, minority vote, women\u2019s vote, taken for granted it\u2019s all gonna be there. But there\u2019s no question that they resent the electoral process. It\u2019s beneath them. I\u2019m speaking psychologically here, folks.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s all about knowing who anybody is. And how do I know? I listen to them. I watch \u2019em. It\u2019s abundantly clear. They do not like America. They do not like the democratic process. They resent it. It\u2019s beneath them. Their ideas, such as they are, are all that matter. And if you don\u2019t agree with them, too bad. You can\u2019t stop \u2019em. You\u2019re nobody.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
