Georgia Democrats stare down a mob of their own making

preview

Leftist activists are busy whipping up a national boycott of Georgia-based businesses over the state’s new election integrity law. The boycott has the support of Hollywood and the White House, with President Joe Biden that he would support moving the MLB’s All-Star Game out of the state as a sign of protest.Georgia Democrats are now left trying to talk the mob down.“I absolutely oppose and reject any notion of boycotting Georgia,” Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff on Thursday. “Georgia welcomes business, investment, jobs, opportunity, and events. In fact, economic growth is driving much of the political progress we have seen here.”Stacey Abrams, who, having lost Georgia’s governorship in 2018, rebranded herself as a voting rights activist, agreed and reminded Democrats that economic boycotts would hurt the very communities they claim to represent.“Black, Latino, AAPI, and Native American voters whose votes are the most suppressed under SB 202 are also the most likely to be hurt by potential boycotts of Georgia,” she in a video on Wednesday.“I ask you to bring your business to Georgia and, if you’re already here, stay and fight,” she added in an op-ed for USA Today. “Stay and vote.”But Ossoff and Abrams ought to know that once a mob takes shape, it will not settle for anything less than what it came for: the total destruction of that which it opposes. We see this all the time nowadays. People lose their jobs and reputations over years-old tweets, and anyone who questions the ideological conformity woke extremists are pushing is shamed into remorse.Now the mob has an entire state in its crosshairs, and it will not back down until Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp is punished for signing the election reform bill into law, state Republicans are ousted for proposing and passing it, and Georgia-based corporations are financially crippled because they didn’t speak out against the bill “soon enough.”The irony here is that Georgia Democrats created this mob. They and made it out to be the undoing of the civil rights era — a false and ridiculous claim that is easily debunked by a quick skim of the law’s text. Democrats lied about the bill, hoping to convince minority Americans that they’re on the verge of being disenfranchised, to scare them into voting blue.Well, it worked, at least insofar as it has scared a lot of corporations that do business in Georgia. Their only move, to avoid being canceled, would be to leave and starve the state’s economy.There is no stopping this mob. Major corporations have already folded, Hollywood’s finest are chasing the rest of the entertainment industry out of the state, and now Biden is encouraging a national sports league to head for the exit.Abrams's and Ossoff’s pleas are useless — and they have only themselves to blame.

From 2005 to mid-2013, the Examiner published a daily tabloid-sized newspaper, distributed throughout the Washington, D.C., metro area. The newspaper focused on local news and political commentary. The local newspaper ceased publication on June 14, 2013, whereupon its content began to focus almost exclusively on national politics, switching its print edition from a daily newspaper to a weekly magazine format.
