The Democrat party of today would horrify Democrats from even a few decades ago.
The 2024 presidential election was a seminal moment in our history. It did more than provide a wide margin of support for one candidate over another. It spoke volumes about how deteriorated our culture has become when the issues of the campaign were as polar-opposite as love and hate. President Trump talked about closing the southern border in order to stop illegal immigration, whereas Biden/Harris told us the border was secure, notwithstanding daily videos of thousands of illegals forcefully streaming into our country. The Biden administration was telling us that inflation is transitory while consumers were paying double and triple prices for goods and services. How deluded were the Democrats to think their party could win by denying everything that was occurring right before the eyes of all Americans?
Moreover, after they suffered the devastating loss, they continued to fight against all the issues that Trump ran on, and that voters overwhelmingly supported. As promised, President Trump got to work quickly by issuing hundreds of executive orders. By the way, did you ever think, in your wildest imagination, that a president would have to issue an order proclaiming that there are only two genders? How about an E.O. declaring that men can no longer participate in women’s sports? He even needed an E.O. to stop the flow of illicit drugs across our borders. During a saner time in our history, such actions would have been part of the normal order of government business.
It makes me wonder why anyone would be a Democrat and have to defend the insanity of the radical left in his party. Isn’t there anyone with the courage to speak common sense to the extremists within? That so-called “Squad” of reprobates

Free loaders, Communists, USA haters, make up the DemocRAT party.

Sorry, but I am not deluded.
Will the left double down on crazy?
*************************
From what I’m reading on their message boards.
“It’s a given.”
Most people dont chose mental illness. They are nurtured by mentally ill parent(s).
True, we haven't perfected time travel. But then 2020 came along.
I believe many on the left feel the same way about Trump - AND have a hyper (and delusional) elevated sense of their self. Lacking a time machine, the 2020-equivalent question was "would you steal the election by whatever means, to remove Trump from office? Because, ya know, he's Hitler."
We have seen their "yes" for 8 years, culminating in many ways with the assassination attempt.
2020 was a de facto going back in time to kill Hitler. They high-fived each other and BELIEVED they were The Resistance incarnate.
This new dogma - "anything goes if we are morally justified" is an extension of this article:
.... What (liberals) really want is liberal Sharia law, a secular theocracy. The minimum wage, gender equality, nationalized health care, and global warming—whatever their practical virtues—are not just expedient policy prescriptions. They are essential aspects of the liberal fatwa. Feminism, deconstruction, and gender theory are not just academic abstractions up for discussion among liberal academics: They are articles of their religious creed. Question them and you are not just wrong—you are a heretic.
...for them, politics is the means to secular salvation...political failure is not just a setback on the road to a more stable society—it is a blow to their very worldview. Opposition to their program is not just wrong-headed, but evil.
These leftists are Functional Nutters. They have jobs, live in cities, and associate with like-minded Nutters. There is power in numbers. For the most part, since they’re not committing a crime they’re free to wander around.
If Trump retired after 2020 it’d sort of end there. Exceeeeeeept, Trump didn’t slink away. He’s as alive as ever. In turn, WE are still here, too.
The Functional Nutters are gonna kick The Crazy up a few notches. They’ll go back into their mental Time Machine and ignore, cancel, lie, etc and have a 2-Minute Virtue-signaling Hate on Social Media about Trump and his supporters. They cannot face the truth that Trump was elected with the help of blacks, Hispanics, and other people who have Had Enough of the delusion. They’ll stick to their echo chamber so they can feel good talking about themselves in between lines of coke.
Clarence Thomas got it right, when he wrote about the protests (threats?) from the Roe leak: "We are becoming addicted to wanting particular outcomes, not living with the outcomes we don't like."
Top reasons people are democrats
(these are not exclusive. You can combine them. In fact, after becoming a democrat on one reason, you will get indoctrinated into many of the others)
1) Killing unborn babies is not evil. “It’s a difficult ‘choice’” blah blah The “patriarchy” wants to control my body.
2) Businesses exploit and enslave people. I might not be so indoctrinated to start using the word “capitalism” in a disparaging way, but I trust government to give me things so that I don’t have to be a wave slave to ‘tycoons’ and ‘barons’. It’s not that I want to be unproductive (actually, yes I do), it is just that I don’t want a “boss”.
3) Most of the world is a dangerous place, and we don’t need to join them in the violence. We will be just fine singing around the fire. No one is going to invade us with their evil tanks and guns and bombs as long as we play nice and say nice things to them.
4) Religious and conservative morality is oppression. We have the right to be lecherous, lascivious, and do it as gratuitously possible. After all, we aren’t hurting anyone. Well, not really.
5) There is enough tax money for EVERYONE!!!! Weeee!!!!!
Actually, you do a good job of answering the question. You have not a single Democrat in your list, though there are Democrat equivalents for all.
All things being equal, there are many who would prefer to pull the lever for the Party of their parents - no thinking involved. Many go out of their way to make all things appear equal.
CONJECTURE: Because people with lower IQs instinctively do not feel that they can compete in a free market. With all our factory jobs moving offshore, there may be some truth to that.
Thanks
The very name is a contraction of the German title of the organization, National Socialist German Workers' Party, or in German, NAtionalsoZIalistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei
Several things about what a "Nazi" is not. They are most definitely NOT "right-wing", and only considered slightly to the right of International Socialism, otherwise known as Communism.
"Nazi" does not operate on any economic level of "laisses-faire" capitalism, but what is better known as "crony capitalism" in which the winners and losers are designated by government fiat, not the free market.
"Nazi" does not connote any kind of freedom, but is a strictly hierarchal structure based on military organization. Service in the name of the fused party and state is the highest aspiration, set before even any deity. God is replaced, and those who choose to set God before any other allegiance are considered traitors to the state, the be rounded up and executed.
A lot of Americans have ditched religion and made politics their religion. Democrats promise that those that vote Dem are smart, and virtuous. That appeals to a lot of American voters. I’m looking at you single white women.
Untreated Chlamydia?
Untreated Gonorrhea?
Untreated Syphilis?
Early onset dementia?
They dated one of my exes and lost their minds?
It pays well.
My faith has been anything but powerful at many stages in my life.
At NONE of those stages did I think liberalism was the answer.
I DO believe, but even if I didn’t, I know that the US cannot survive without Christianity.
I think Putin knows it about his country and it is why he supports the church there and marriage and having children.
So if something is needed to make a country thrive and survive, the mind process should be that it is quite real.
But some of us make an easy decision a difficult battle for unknown reasons.

They confer upon themselves a sense of nobility with their politics. It’s a feedback loop that won’t stop until they are looking into the face of God.
Why become a Democrat? Why to become uber rich and powerful. Why become a RINO Republican? Same Reason.
Privilege, loot, access to the ladder. You can commit crimes and call your shot. You decide who wins and loses and can manage the portfolio accordingly. The slightest irritation is instantly removed.
The lower classes have their appetites’ fed and their egos satisfied. And you always win. But there is a price to being a goblin.
Free money
They’re brainwashed by the MSM. The only things they will listen to are CNN, The View, MSNBC, etc. They intentionally don’t watch anything else because they’re told they are bad if they do.
