This is not going to be in the style of the blowhard you have become accustomed to. It's not that I am getting soft, it's just that sometymes my sincerity gets lost while I am berating. I would lyke to say that I get caught up in the moment and am just full of unbridled passion and can't help myself. But the truth is, I'm an asshole. Erin has quite studiously pointed out that if I want people to take me seriously, then I should probably tone down the rhetoric. Flies and honey all that. She is probably right. So here we go.
ALL DEMOCTRATS ARE NOTHING BUT A ….. Just kidding.
As is the natural order of society, there is an evolution of thought. The things we used to believe in as children are not necessarily the things we believe in as teenagers, or young adults, or mature adults. The same can also be said for political parties. It was not that long ago when the dems insisted that we have a border fence. Even biden was on record for a fence and strong immigration laws for decades. To be fair, Republicans are also wishy-washy when it comes to certain issues.
There is a saying that older democrats used to say that I will base this episode on, "I did not leave the democrat party, the democrat party left me."
Sadly, there are too many "ride or die" dems.
Hopefully, we can all make a strong enough case against the democrat party to at minimum change a few people's minds to make the switch at the very least to Independents. Today's democratic party has little resemblance to the party of 20 or 30 years ago, except of course the players. The bidens and pelosis (o Lord give me the strength to continue to write in a civil tongue) are still….
So, what is this new democratic party? What are they the party of? What direction are they going? The truth of it all is very disturbing. The dems have always been a few shades left of center, but today they have gone so far left that they are a tiny shade right of Marxism.
Signs you might be a Marxist:
You promote victimhood
You resent owners of industry/ the rich
You want to dismantle the nuclear family
You want to expand the size of the government You want to end private property
How much of those resemble the unofficial principles of the democratic party? Exactly. This week we will only discuss the the first three.
First, let us look at how the dems promote victimhood.
They do it through racism. The democratic party is the quintessential racist party. That party has tyme and tyme again shown how they truly feel about black people. They believe that blacks are incompetent, lazy, and impoverished with no hope to succeed in a "rigged" society, and worse of all they honestly believe that the black population is stupid.
Voter ID laws make more sense than most laws, yet the dems would have you believe that they are racist policies. It is the safest and easiest defense against voter fraud. This has become a hot topic in places lyke Georgia in the past couple of years.
The crazy thing about it is that in Georgia a voter ID card cost nothing. That means costs are not the reason for getting an ID, so it stands to reason that the dems honestly think blacks are just too stupid to get one.
Actual racist policies include the failed Affirmative Action policies implemented in the late 60s and 70s. The left loves to tout that minority income rose at pretty substantially from '65 to '75, however, they fail to also mention that minority income rose at an even greater rate from '55 to '65. Or that once AA policies were put in place, the biggest gains in minority hiring came from government hiring or by companies with government contracts, and minority hiring in the private sector declined.
Just look at what is going on in Minneapolis' school district. Starting next year, if any teacher is to be laid off, it must be a white one. Could you imagine if that were the other way around? There would be cries of racism echoing throughout the known universe.
Policies determined by race are a form of racism.
That is the exact opposite of King Jr's proclamation of "Judge me not by the color of my skin, but by the content of my character."
Another "unofficial" democrat policy is equity. Equity is today's watered-down version of reparations.
Last year, biden announced that under his direction, more elderly black people received Covid Vaccinations than elderly white people and that that was equity. Sorry big guy, that's the opposite of equity. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines equity as "justice according to natural law or right specifically: freedom from bias or favoritism"
You do not have to look further than the establishment of the welfare state and its negative effect on the black community and families to understand how dems feel about our black brothers and sisters. They have single-handedly done more to harm the black community in the past 50 years or so. It is worth noting, again I might add, that as single-parent households rise, so too do crime and prison rates.
Charles Barkley has said numerous tymes that black people have sold their vote to the democrat party and that they sold it for cheap.
He ain't lying.
Depending on where you live welfare payouts range from over $50k to $11k a year. But what that number does not show is how much money many of the people dependent on the welfare state spend on court costs and other legal fees that accompany the crime associated with the single-parent system. I get it, why work for a quarter if someone will give you a dime?
Lastly, what is the dems favorite boogeyman? The rich. Or as they put it, those 1% people are strangling the poor so they can keep their wealth. So how much money do you have to earn to be considered a 1 percenter? Almost $600k. That is a pretty attainable number. Two good wage earners and a decent inheritance could be considered 1 percenter. But when the dems talk about 1 percenters, they imply the Bezos and the Waltons' or the Musk's of the world, but in reality, it is every one that over succeeds. But the top 1% also change state by state. To be a top percenter in West Virginia you only need to earn $350k a year.
People must also understand that the majority of the 1 percent wage earners do not permanently stay in the 1 percent. Neither does the bottom percentile. Even though percentiles remain the same, the people in those percentiles are constantly moving. A young person, regardless of race, will most lykely earn far less than someone who has been in the workforce consistently for 20 years in the same field.
*Side note* barrack loved to talk about some guy in Chicago, who worked at Mcdonald's for 20 years and never made more than minimum wage. It is that dude's fault, plain and simple. I can say with almost certainty, that the guy must have done just enough to not get fired. 20 years and decent, not good but decent, workmanship would get you from fry cook to assistant manager at the very least.
Which democrat loves to hate the rich far more than anyone else? Hmmm
Is it the one who has three private homes? Is it the same guy that went from a net worth of $750k in 2015 to over $3m in just a couple of years? Yep, that guy. Mr socialism. bernie "I would normally insert a wicked burn middle name here, but I have changed" sanders.
He has proved that the only way socialism is successful is when you promote socialism in a Capitalistic country. If he truly believed in socialism, he would be in Venezuela.
A few months ago, some dude in a union told me that the allure of the union is that it levels the playing field. He said because there is always someone better than you, the unions make it so that you are all compensated the same. I don't know about you, but I love working harder than everyone else, so that I may enjoy the spoils of victory. But that's just me. I had a wonderful childhood, but we would have been part of the "have nots", but my Mother never let us play the victim card. Instead, she taught us, through her example, that if you work hard enough you can be part of the "haves".
In the next issue, A Case against the democratic party part 2, we get into Klaus Schwab, the Exec Chairman of the World Economic Forum, and his proclamation that one day, "..you will own nothing and be happy." Whatever.
We will close with this, a quote from one of the great Russian villains. "I can prophecy that your grandchildren in America will live under socialism – Our firm conviction is that sooner or later Capitalism will give way to Socialism. Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will bury you." — Nikita Khrushchev
