Everyone who posts or even views this thread will be monitored. Just thought I’d mention it.
I think the Democratic Party is here to stay, forever and ever, like Herpesvirus.
My only consolation is that I thought that about the Soviet Union in 1984. Things do change occasionally.
But the Democratic Party is too corrupt, too wealthy and too powerful to disappear.
Oops, too late, I already looked.
Who will be monitoring me?
If the government had started a “social network” called facebook how many people do you think would have signed up? I’m sure most conservatives wouldn’t. But a bunch signed up for FACEBOOK. I got sucked in then smartened up.
So, yes, they are watching.

I have within the last year been apprised of a notion which I had never considered previously. It is that "Socialism" is a mask which Monarchy uses to reassert it's self into power. The American War of Independence created a new form of government which had never existed before and was a complete break with the Monarchist/Nobility form of government, (which was the rule prior to the Creation of America) and the "elites" have struggled ever since to reassert the previous system.
Consider Socialism/Communism in practice. It consists of a Premier (King) supported by a large body of Party Members and commissars. (Nobles.) Everyone else is a poor peasant. (Peasant) The party members enjoy special privileges as befits their access to party officials, and the Premier exercises life and death power over everyone else.
In our system, we may posses Nouveau elites and the Glitterati, but they nevertheless have the instinctual human desire to rule over others, and they utilize their money and influence to assure their position as a member of the New Nobility. Democrats are courtesans of both the modern ruling court and the Wealthy elite, trading their influence among the ignorant peasantry and those members of the middle class who are foolish enough to believe their assertions, for influence in the government.
The whole system will have the eventual effect of creating a Monarchy and Nobility with a poor peasant class, the normal status of Human affairs since the Dawn of Humanity. The American experiment of self rule will be over if they succeed. What is being stopped is upward mobility, and that is the entire point.
