“Will some of the lesss corrupt Democrats even consider switching to Republicans as the Democrats will seem like a dirty word come mid terms and no one will want anything to do with it.”
It’s THE SYSTEM. Good people who run for office as Democrats and actually care about the country are simply WEEDED OUT very early. Either they don’t get any significant money, or they get Primaried out, or both. So all that’s left is the HATE AMERICA bunch at the higher levels of the Democrat Party.
And it’s not just them - Republicans are just as bad, in fact, probably worse. Think about it - the Republican base wants SERIOUS border security, which to them (i.e., us) means building the wall - and by HUGE MARGINS. But when the 17th Republican to announce their run for office, Trump, states that he will build the wall, what is the reaction from the other 16? They want TRUMP strung up and are adamant that he doesn’t represent the party.
So what’s the problem here when I can walk into any rural diner in, say, Michigan and find a conservative willing to put his neck out and even run for office on building a wall - yet 16 of 17 candidates consider the wall a HATE CRIME? Well, like the Dems, the answer is at the lower levels - you want money from the Cooks, for example, to run for state office, you had better be for OPEN BORDERS - and that applies to virtually all other major Republican donors. So you get a bunch of 16 of them who despise any effort to build a wall.
It all gets back to Marx. He correctly observed that class struggle was the core driver of social tension. Some are literally born to compete, to succeed in an open market system. Unfortunately, many others - around 50% - simply do not have the necessary physical, cognitive or social skills to be able to achieve a successful material life in a capitalist system.
It doesn't matter if you attempt to exhort them to work/try harder - the notion is rejected on its face. Recognizing this army of dissatisfied people exists is only stage one; where there's demand, there's supply. And so, we have an endless supply of proglib political leaders who either cunningly manipulate their base for political gain (Clintons) or may actually embrace the ideology itself.
Regardless, the point is it's (a) futile to argue or try to convince; and (b) it's also futile to complain about their methods. They are driven to desperation, so naturally, they will do & say anything to achieve their desired goal: to see the smug faces of white privilege shoved in the mud. Oh, how they wish to dance around cheering our fate.
So, it's not important to care about what/why proglib do what they do. Rather, it's only necessary to prevent them from achieving any kind of power & control. That's why it's incredibly naive to think that normals should abide by any constitutional provisions when we are fighting for our very lives.
