A longtime aide to former President Joe Biden admitted that White House staff felt justified doing “undemocratic things” during his term in office because they believed President Donald Trump posed an existential threat to American democracy.
The revelation came during an appearance by Axios reporter Alex Thompson on “Fox News Sunday” with Shannon Bream, where he discussed insider accounts from his reporting on the Biden administration. Thompson described a mindset inside the White House — one in which unelected aides saw themselves as the real decision makers while shielding Biden from scrutiny and managing the presidency behind the scenes.
“If you believe — and I think a lot of these people do sincerely believe — that Donald Trump was and is an existential threat to democracy, you can rationalize anything, including sometimes doing undemocratic things,” Thompson said.
'Undemocratic things', you ask?
Thompson also cited a quote from his reporting in which a longtime Biden aide openly admitted the president “just had to win, and then he could disappear for four years.”
“He’d only have to show proof of life every once in a while,” the aide reportedly told Thompson. “His aides could pick up the slack.”
Translation:
"We use him as a front, and WE run the country!"
Can you say 'Hang the bastards'? I knew you could.
*His term for them is cleaned up a bit

This is why Old Joe Kennedy felt justified in stealing the '60 election. This is what Stalin told the apparatchiks back in the 30s.
Trump was/is a threat to their power. It's an old story.
Democracy in America is not the solution , it is the problem.
This boils down to the democrat montra "The end justifies the means". Which is pretty undemocratic in and of itself.
Who is Michael WIlliamson and where is his recurring post?
Hanging's too quick. Tide-stake them in a crab pool, and knick their ankles a few times.
He's a science fiction/military fiction writer, usually doing stuff like this on Bookface to annoy them.
