I do not have the cut and paste skills that a lot of folk on this forum have.
If I did, I’d cut and paste a copy of aGeorge Wallace campaign flyer in 1968.
He called out the two major parties as Tweedle dee and Tweedle dum.
It’s fair to hold his racial views against him, but he hit themes outside of race that helped Nixon formulate the “Southern strategy” that propelled him to victory in 1972 and would work for future Republicans as well.
Pat Buchanan would later pick up on those populist themes to reveal the weakness of the “Read my lips, no new taxes” incumbent in the 1992 primary.
Populist themes that the crazy little banty rooster Ross Perot would use in his on again off again on again campaign.
And of course Trump winning the nomination in 2016 amounted to a hostile takeover the Republican wing of the uniparty’s ballot slot.
This author throwing around recklessly throwing around ideological terms like Marxist is way off base.
Marxism is what SEPARATES the two wings of the uniparty.
The Democrat wing is Marxist and the Republican wing is not.
It is not the separation that creates the illusion of two distinct parties in might opposition that is IMPORTANT.
It is the commonality that UNIFIES the uniparty.
The uniparty is a statist party.
Statism may be defined in detail by so-called political scientists but it is simply defined by gubmint that is operated for the benefit of those who operate gubmint, NOT the legal citizens who vote and pay taxes to support that gubmint.
I don’t see Mitch McConnell as a Marxist but as a globalist scumbag sellout.
I see Chuck Schumer as a Marxist.
But when DOING what is clearly the WILL of the American people on issues like building a wall and Voter ID, both China Mitch and Schumer are on the same uniparty/statist party page.
Excellent take.
George Wallace was and remained a lifelong democrat except for one of his several presidential runs when he ran as a 3rd party candidate, he remained a democrat and became governor again.
