The Democrats Cannot Legitimately Win the 2024 Election
Ignoring unpleasant truths doesn't make them less true.
The title above was the original title of my article and it accurately reflects my feelings on the 2024 election.
My editors, however, “encouraged” me to moderate my tone just a bit, which is reflected in the final article below.
However, regardless of how we choose to write or talk about it, the fact remains that the Democrats have meddled so significantly and brazenly with our election process in 2024 that it can’t be seen as a free and fair election. And despite how scary that is, it’s even worse to deny reality.
When it comes to the 2024 Presidential Election, Democracy is already dead. And the Democrats killed it.
My article on the rolling tragedy of the 2024 election is below.
“Man is a creature that can get accustomed to anything,” said Dostoyevsky, and indeed, we’ve become so accustomed to the manipulation of our elections that it’s become almost the norm. But the Democrats have already far exceeded even their previous serious misdeeds. Conservative complaints about this tend to be dismissed as conspiracy-mongering or poor sportsmanship. But to pretend that the Democrats’ actions since November 2020 are just part of the rough-and-tumble of politics is to ignore a mountain of evidence staring us in the face.
There is nothing normal about the presidential election of 2024—nor should we attempt to normalize it, because the Democrats’ behavior has been a tragedy for American democracy. As Matt Taibbi put it in an outstanding article analyzing recent moves from the Democrats, the “2024 presidential race increasingly looks like it will be decided by lawyers, not voters, as Democrats unveil plans for America’s first lawfare election.”
If anything, Taibbi understates the case. Democratic election interference has been so pervasive that it is hard to see how we could have an election that objective outside observers would consider free and fair. This is a grave and serious accusation to level and one which holds frightening implications for the future of American democracy. But it does us no good to hide from the truth.

In other news, last week I went on the Auron MacInyre show on the Blaze Network for a great discussion of why white men (particularly young white men) are quiet quitting America’s elite institutions and what that means for America’s future.
Auron is one of the most thoughtful interpreters of the contemporary political scene, and it was a pleasure to sit down with him for an hour of freewheeling conversation.
