Twilight of the Democrats
American Thinker ^ | 15 Jan, 2024 | Mark C. Ross

Should trends continue, the Democrats will likely still survive, but with much less political influence.

I often say that the greatest political miracle in of all American history is that the Democrats somehow managed to survive the Civil War. They did, however, have to wait until 1884 to win a national election when New York governor Grover Cleveland defeated James G. Blaine. Four years later Cleveland lost to Benjamin Harrison -- whom he then defeated the next time around. Sound familiar? Should Trump win this year, he’ll be only the second person to ever win, lose, and then win the presidency back again. Also, Cleveland was probably way to the right of even most of today’s Republicans.

In addition to Joe Biden’s obvious lack of popularity and the serious lack of credible replacements, the Democrats are also suffering at the local level. Crime, filth, rising taxes, vagrancy, and the obnoxious nature of many of the Democrats’ agenda issues -- such as messing with the sexual development of young, naïve, and innocent children are provoking ordinary, usually passive people to look for more comfortable choices.

Enter Donald J. Trump, the most conspicuous bull that ever wandered into a political china shop. He broke the longstanding stalemate, putting everything up for grabs. It’s not ideological to just let it become easier for plain folks to prosper. It is, however, goofball ideology that urges government functionaries to inhibit the creation of new wealth… especially because of contrived, pseudo-scientific expectations of approaching catastrophic weather conditions. Weather? Really? Can’t help but think of legendary King Canute who intentionally embarrassed his annoying sycophants by trying to command the tide to go out -- while it was coming in.

We can then throw in exacerbated ethnic sensitivity. You know, “racial” bias...

If the democrats are gone then we still have the RINOs to deal with.

True, because RINO's are democrats in republican clothing.

Actually, that opera ends with the Rhine overflowing its banks and drowning the main characters. The Rhine maidens claim the Ring, Hagen tries to claim it for himself, and the Rhine maidens drag him down to the depths and drown him.

In the Met production from the 1980s, the people look around at the changed landscape, and the sun rises with the slight image of a cross within the orb.

I should have added “I’m not the only one to suggest this.”

If democrats fade away, who’s bung holes will RINO’s lick while they desperately seek their controlled resistance for profit lives?

“Should Trump win this year, he’ll be only the second person to ever win, lose, and then win the presidency back again.”

Trump won in 2020.

Half the country would vote for Satan himself as long as he kept their EBT card charged up. The Democrats aren’t going anywhere.

We’ll get rid of diaper rash before Democrats disappear.

I guess that’s shorter than saying “Barack Hussein Obama”
