Roosevelt and Truman would be Republicans today. They wouldn’t recognize the Democrat party because it has essentially ceased to exist. It should now just be referred to as the Liberal party, what it has become.
With very few exceptions we have a one party system . Obama is a puppet / figurehead , and is not POTUS , although enjoys all the privileges that office allows . When are people going to wake up and realize we have been bought lock , stock and barrel ???
I agree with your premise on the dims... but it has ALWAYS been liberal and socialist... today they are flat out communists.
