But Joe Biden\u2019s version of democracy contains a Montana-sized asterisk that magically exempts himself from his oath of office to uphold the Constitution.<\/p>\n<p>Biden endlessly castigates former President Donald Trump for the \u201cBig Lie\u201d that Trump won the 2020 election. But Biden\u2019s \u201cBig Lie\u201d is that he is entitled to use federal power however he pleases because he was certified the winner of that election. But 81 million votes didn\u2019t nullify the Bill of Rights.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on the edge of Capitol Hill, Biden portrayed himself as the savior of the republic. He declared, \u201cAutocracy is the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/11\/02\/us\/politics\/transcript-biden-speech-democracy.html\">opposite of democracy<\/a>. It means the rule of one, one person, one interest, one ideology, one party.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Like Biden\u2019s mandate for 80 million Americans to get COVID vaccines \u2014 a dictate the Supreme Court struck down as illegal? Like when Biden contorted federal law to cancel $500 billion in student loans to give Democratic candidates a boost in next week\u2019s election? Like when Team Biden sends FBI agents to harass parents who complained at school-board meetings? Like the Biden administration\u2019s proposal <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/restoring-america\/faith-freedom-self-reliance\/states-sue-biden-over-transgender-rule-school-lunch-program\">to cancel all federal<\/a> school breakfast and lunch subsidies for any state that does not impose radical pro-transgender policies on every public school?<\/p>\n<p>Biden warned of \u201cthe consequence of lies told for power and profit, lies of conspiracy and malice, lies repeated over and over to generate a cycle of anger, hate, vitriol and even violence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Like the hatred Biden spurred towards people who did not get COVID vaccines? In his September 2021 televised speech, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/speeches-remarks\/2021\/09\/09\/remarks-by-president-biden-on-fighting-the-covid-19-pandemic-3\/\">Biden portrayed the unvaxxed <\/a>as Public Enemy No. 1, warning that \u201cyour refusal has cost all of us.\u201d Biden sneered that vaccine skeptics only wanted \u201cthe <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/biden-mocks-vaccine-skeptics-i-have-freedom-kill-you-my-covid-1641485\">freedom to kill<\/a> you\u201d with their COVID. He kept railing about a \u201cpandemic of the unvaccinated\u201d long after COVID cases snowballed among the fully vaxxed.

That\u2019s why his <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ointees are shrouding his abuses and failures.

Even the Trump administration was not that secretive.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>Biden touted \u201cthe rule of law\u201d Wednesday night. But instead of that ideal, Biden offers a \u201cpaying-and-obeying\u201d version of democracy in which citizens have no right to complain about the feds wrecking prosperity. Are you outraged about the dollar losing 13% of its value since Biden took office? You\u2019re an enemy of democracy. Are you peeved that stock markets lost $10+ trillion this year thanks in part to Biden\u2019s policies? You\u2019re an enemy of democracy. Are you miffed at Biden-era high gas prices? Shut up, peasant, or we\u2019ll cancel the driving rights of all non-Tesla owners.<\/p>\n<p>Biden repeatedly invoked the specter of \u201cpolitical violence\u201d to demonize all his opponents. But what about post-election violence spurred by oppressive policies imposed by winning politicians? Biden said last night that Americans settle differences \u201cat the battle box\u201d (he meant \u201cballot box\u201d).\u00a0Biden promises that if two more Democratic senators are elected, he will ban all \u201cassault weapons.\u201d How will Team Biden confiscate tens of millions of semi-automatic rifles? As long as Biden can claim that election victories consecrated his policies, any quibbles about the Second Amendment will be null and void.<\/p>\n<p>Biden sought to paint all Republican candidates as illegitimate because of the rhetoric of some GOP candidates. Apparently, there is collective guilt for only one political party in next week\u2019s election. But this is consistent with Biden claiming a prerogative to define the issues and non-issues for the election scorecard. According to Biden, \u201cdemocracy dies\u201d if citizens do not vote as their commander-in-chief tells them.<\/p>\n<p>Biden is correct that \u201cdemocracy is under threat.\u201d But the greatest danger is elected politicians \u2014 in the White House and on Capitol Hill \u2014 who believe that vote totals entitle them to force Americans to live as they command. Let\u2019s hope Biden\u2019s abuses are awakening millions of Americans to the perils of dictatorial power regardless of which party controls the White House.<\/p>\n<p><em>James Bovard is the author of 10 books and a member of the USA Today Board of Contributors.<\/em>\n                        <\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
