Not An ‘Administration’. A Regime.

At noon today the scenes on Capitol Hill were arguably no different to those we saw on January 6th: a desecration of the Republic. This time, by a humiliating scene of an empty National Mall, and a handful of people who stole an election in the dead of night. 

Much is made of the phrase “peaceful transition of power,” but this was no peaceful transition.

A stolen election doesn’t equal a peaceful transition.

Another phony impeachment doesn’t equal a peaceful transition.

And 30,000 troops doesn’t equal a peaceful transition.

This is NOT what democracy looks like.

In reality, this was not an inauguration in the same way that there was never really an election. An election requires that certain rules are followed. They were not. An inauguration requires a valid result. There was none.

And it’s a testament to the political establishment’s loathing of the American public that over the past year they have sought to strike fear into people’s hearts over a pandemic, and now they seek to divide the nation further by referring to one side as “domestic terrorists.”

That’s not how democratically elected administrations come to power in free republics.

That’s how authoritarian regimes seize power and wield it over their naysayers in banana republics.

That’s why The National Pulse will not be referring to Joe Biden’s government as an administration. We will, from here on, refer to it as a regime.
