A Republic — If You Can Keep It: Doing so will require that conservatives become as involved as devoted leftists.

According to American lore, a woman asked Founding Father Benjamin Franklin, who had just adjourned from the Constitutional Convention, what sort of government the august body had just created. His answer was blunt, accurate, and cautionary: “A republic, Madam, if you can keep it.” Whether accurately portrayed or not, the truth of this vignette survived Franklin’s life and will continue to remain true: A democratic republic cannot exist without an informed, politically active people. Otherwise, its people are subject to “intrigue,” to borrow a word from Franklin’s era.

The Dems’ Playbook

As if to foot-stomp Franklin’s warning, the scenario playing out in the 2020 election is gridlock in Washington — assuming Republicans do end up winning the Senate and Joe Biden does hold on to his declared victory in the presidential contest over President Donald Trump. That victory was initiated in part by the Democrats’ standard playbook of voter fraud and deception. This “intrigue” is now poised to undermine the very legitimacy of our government, with unpredictable, dramatic consequences.

Of course, Democrats are experts at intrigue. Their figurehead leader, Joe Biden, counseled calm and used the book of Ecclesiastes to declare, “This is the time to heal in America.”
