It’s Trump and the American people vs the Uniparty.

If Trump came out in favor of oxygen, Democrats would hold their breath until they died.

I couldn’t agree more, the Dems and a high percentage of the media.

Of course I did, I was just furthering it.

The RATs couldn’t care less about children, they oppose all sex offender legislation.

He has also undressed all the RINOs who didn’t take advantage of the last 2 years to do everything they always claimed they wanted to do....

That is a ghastly, malignant plan to topple the freedoms and liberties (what are left of them) of the American People and the Constitution - but I fear "Sundance" is correct.

We are entering the nuclear war phase of American politics. Only one winner will emerge. It will either be "America" or a thousand years of darkness.

Donald Trump is making the Dems show their True Colors like never before.

And yet they kicked our azz in the House.

Either we have become a minority or they have perfected vote fraud, neither of which can be overcome with ballots.

What the article describes far predates Trump, and is the consequence of two seemingly opposite trends among Democrats.

First, Democrats have become far more radical on social and cultural issues - more supportive of anti-white bigotry by "minorities," more unconditionally supportive of open borders, more fanatical in their support of the LGBT agenda, and more anti-gun. But this isn't the full story

HAs a counterweight to their social radicalism, Democrats have embraced the elite's foreign policy and economic interests. Since at least the early 90's, mainstream Democrats have abandoned any pretense of being foreign policy anti-interventionists (they supported Clinton's bombing of Serbia and Iraq, and if any of them opposed Gulf War II, it was because a Republican rather than a Clintonite was executing it). There is essentially no difference in foreign policy between a Clinton Democrat and a neoconservative/GOP establishment Republican. The handful of old-school pacifist Democrats who remain didn't get the memo, and have been marginalized in the same way that libertarian and "isolationist" Republicans have been marginalized by the GOP establishment.

The other counterweight to the Democrats' increasing social radicalism is that they've made their peace with corporations and Wall Street. Sure, you get a few old-school socialists like the geriatric Bernie Sanders and the flaky Ocasio-Cortez, but these aren't the norm. Your establishment Clinton-Democrat is in bed with Wall Street and with Silicon Valley. Democrats get more money from Wall Street brokerage firms and Silicon Valley tech giants than Republicans.

Their strategy amounts to one of embracing the elites - including the economic and geopolitical interests of the elites while pandering to the most radical fringes of society with cultural radicalism. In return for getting their desired tax, trade, immigration, and foreign policy from the Democrats, the elites are more than happy to go along with transgender bathrooms and promoting "Diversity Studies" curricula at universities because it costs them nothing.

As Liberals I respect both he and Alan Dershowitz.

Alan never defended Trump without including a Hillary defense at the same time.

Alan Dershowitz deserves half a clap for defending Trump against the Russia collusion witch-hunt. In the same way, Bill Clinton deserves half a clap for signing some tax cuts and welfare reform into law. That doesn't mean that either Dershowitz or Clinton are any good in the big political picture.

Between voter fraud and the ignorance of so many people, the absolute dishonesty of the media, the Left permeating every aspect of society, we’re in an uphill battle.

If the media did their job and did it honestly, the Dems wouldn’t stand a chance.

No problem.

You’re right...they don’t care about children except to use them to further their agenda. A good example is the caravan children. If we had a wall, they would not trek across Mexico and the children wouldn’t be subjected to terrible conditions. That constitutes child abuse.
