Since 1912 and the election of Woodrow Wilson, the Democrat Party has been America’s left-wing political party. Nonetheless, over the decades it has maintained tenuous ties to the basic tenets of the nation’s founding. In the 1930s, beginning with what was a de facto “cult of personality” centered around Franklin Roosevelt, the Democrat party establishment began wallowing in myopic party loyalty. It was that myopic party loyalty extended to Barack Obama together with a psychotic obsession with Donald Trump that has led to the Democrat party evolving into America’s Marxist/socialist political party and the greatest internal threat to the nation as founded in its 250-year history.
By 2020, the far-left or Marxists/socialists had cemented their grip on the party. In that election cycle the socialist wing of the Democrat party gained significant ground compared to previous elections. In 2020, per the Heartland Institute, 266 avowed socialist candidates ran under the Democrat banner for state legislative seats (200), U.S. House seats (60), and U.S. Senate seats (6). Virtually all ran in predominantly Democrat strongholds. More than ninety percent won their races. By comparison in 2018, only 86 Democrat candidates running for state and congressional seats were avowed socialists and of that number fewer than forty percent won their races.

The Marxist Transformation of the Democrat Party, by Barak Obama.
Are we enjoying our “Fundamental Change” yet?
It’s really depressing. Old-time Democrats weren’t a whole lot different than Republicans. Think Truman and JFK.
So if a Democrat won the White House you could still sleep at night.
No longer. Today’s Democrats are incompetent and hateful soft fascists. Think AOC and Mamdani.
Perhaps the sole exception to that is John Fetterman. And you can be sure that the DNC will try to primary him out of office in 2028.
🙁
We’ll find out next November just how successful this Marxist transformation is.
Best we work diligently between now and then to ensure that the LIEberal/Socialist/Marxist/Communist Democrats lose BIGLY!
As we get ever closer to the return of Christ for His church, we also get ever closer to the people that are waxing worse and worse, getting worse and worse.
Happened around 1900, Commie Rats went into hiding mid 1950's, no one can hide it post 2020.

Obozo and the dems are just a heartbeat away from Maduro. Maduro is using the drug money to keep Venezuela from bankruptcy. Maybe that’s why the dems support the drug runners?
Revoke Ilhan Omar's citizenship and deport her. Can the filibuster and ram the President's agenda home by not counting non citizens as citizens. Stop sending the Taliban $45 million a week. Stop giving Catholic charities and others hundreds of millions to keep bringing in the 3rd world. Get rid of the blue slips and hold the Dem criminals to count.
Check
Absolutely.
Don’t forget Bernie.
Bernie was the crazy cheerleader yelling on the sidelines while Obama was orchestrating the radicalization on the field.
Where upon Bernie proceeded to win to Dem primaries going away, until they bought him out. Barry made it OK; Bernie proved that the deal was done and the closet was unnecessary from then on.

Franklin Roosevelt’s rapid conversion from Constitutionalism to the doctrine of unlimited government is an oft-told story. But I am here concerned not so much by the abandonment of states’ rights by the national Democratic Party — an event that occurred some years ago when that party was captured by the socialist ideologues in and about the labor movement — as by the unmistakable tendency of the Republican Party to adopt the same course. […] Thus, the cornerstone of the Republic, our chief bulwark against the encroachment (on) individual freedom by Big Government, is fast disappearing under the piling sands of absolutism.Can we get a headline that reads “The Marxist Transformation of the Republican Party” too?
The Republican Party, to be sure, gives lip service to states’ rights. We often talk about “returning to the states their rightful powers”; the Administration has even gone so far as to sponsor a federal-state conference on the problem. But deeds are what count, and I regret to say that in actual practice, the Republican Party, like the Democratic Party, summons the coercive power of the federal government whenever national leaders conclude that the states are not performing satisfactorily. …

Can we get a headline that reads “The Marxist Transformation of the Republican Party” too?
We can sum that up in one sentence: “We are all Keynesians now!”
Fetterman is gone in 2028. He will be primaried and beaten by a Communist.
And Fauxahontas Warren.

******************
They were different on capital & labor.
The two guys you mentioned were very different than a Republican.
Truman might be the most partisan hack to ever achieve the Presidency. Vetoed the Taft/Hartle Act. No Republican would’ve
JFK wanted public employee unions. No Republican wanted public employee unions.
