Democrat party dead, Communist party alive.
Even back in the 1960s, the radicals really hated the Liberals. Back then, the Democrat Party was dominated by Lyndon Johnson and Hubert Humphrey. The radicals hated them. Folksinger Phil Ochs had a bitter song, “Love Me I’m a Liberal”.
The Liberals are gone. All that’s left are the radical communists. The Democrat Party hates America and is working to destroy it. And plenty of Republicans are eager to help.
I don’t really see it as any sort of generational struggle. It’s just Gramsci and his long march through the institutions. The crazy people played a long game and they have done well for themselves.
