Another day, week, month, year of can you believe what Trump said? Another news cycle trying to convince those who dont already despise the president that THIS time its different because THIS time hes gone too far.
Hes violating the standards of decency! Hes a global embarrassment! Hes a poor role model for our children! Yep, weve heard it all. Its almost getting boring to say it, but lets try it again. Donald Trump didnt happen in a vacuum. He happened as a response, a response to the norm-breaking, divisive, anti-American left-wing culture and party who set todays politics in motion.
Its said our national politics are downstream from our culture. Democrats like to claim Donald Trump is an outlier. Hes not who we are, they sanctimoniously chirp. The implication is they are who we are. Ok, fine. Who are the Democrats?
Knowing the culture of the left means understanding the future of Democrats. I think it's fair to say their American values have no relation to mine and most Trump voters.
Its also fair to say the American left isnt subtle about who they are these days. Theyre more collectivist and more authoritarian than ever before. Theyre far more likely to say publicly or on Twitter what used to be only said in closed-door meetings. Thats a big change.
Before Barack Obama ran for president, he was quite clear about his fondness for and participation in radical leftist politics. After he set his campaign in motion, he muted his extremism. He separated himself from his radical colleagues, friends, and preacher.
He was the bridge. The camels nose under the tent. His radicalism kept somewhat masked publicly, but oozed from his pores privately.
But if were to be honest, just where do you think Barack Obamas heart lies these days? With the Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and his former Vice President Joe Biden or AOC and the Squad?
President Obama clung to statements in his private life like,"White folks' greed runs a world in need. Today, AOC will say that and much worse - to your face - with cameras running. And so will millions of brainwashed college grads who follow her.
Thats culturally different. Universities have been shaping and defining the lefts culture for the last several decades.
Not only is liberalism not a dirty word with younger Democrats, socialism isnt either. Will Marxism and Communism be praised out loud any time soon? Thats where Democrats seem to be headed. Thats what they are taught in college. Individualism and free market capitalism are dirty words.
The new left is open about its hatred for the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. Its not just the racist, privileged white men behind it, its what those men created. Breaking away from centralized power and oppression is the nations original, founding sin. A nation of free-thinking, self-interested individuals couldnt be worse for authoritarian aspirations.
Throw in free speech while were at it. Political correctness the lefts war on free speech is central to the culture of the new left. Speak like us, think like us, or else.
Sure, theyll call Donald Trump and his voters racist. But theyre no longer content to stop there. Theyre willing to slander their own, too. Anyone who doesnt openly buy into totalitarian politics (bussing, destruction of private health insurance, etc.) is treated no different than President Trump and his supporters. Isnt that right, Speaker Pelosi and Vice President Biden?
If politics is downstream from culture, then the Democrat Partys politics are hip deep with totalitarian ideas and intentions.Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden sure dont appear to have a seat in the life raft floating downstream of the modern lefts new culture.
So how do Pelosi and Biden mollify the rabid leftists in their midst? Is calling Trump a racist enough? Would leading an impeachment effort satisfy anti-Semites and hard-core socialists? Can you unify Democrats without embracing the Squad and the Green New Deal fraud?
The problem is jealousy, envy, hate, and anger motivate these New Democrats at levels weve not seen historically. Socialism is more than just an intellectual exercise. Its their way forward and its rooted in revenge. They are out for revenge to exact pain and punishment on those they feel deserve it.
The Democratic Party has always relied on vote-buying to sell its failed ideas and ideology. Now its using intimidation, race-baiting, and smears more than ever. Where Democrats once spoke in soft tones to express their concern, they now scream at the top of their lungs hurling insults and threats quite publicly.
Democrats have formed an enormous hate group. And they really do hate. Thats not a throwaway line. Theres a list.
Antifa violence. Republicans and Trump cabinet members shot at on baseball fields and chased out of restaurants. Democrat House members encouraging constituents to get in the faces of their political opposition and tell them theyre not welcome. The vicious slander of ICE agents, border patrol agents, Supreme Court Justice nominees, MAGA hat wearing high school boys, disrespecting the Holocaust and the American flag
Im sure you could add your own.
Dont tell me Donald Trumps tweet is more jarring to the national conscience than the behavior and speech of those to whom the tweet was directed. The Democrats have been swallowed by a loud, disruptive, destructive, unapologetic totalitarian ideology.
Thats the culture of which the Democrats are downstream. Donald Trump is saving the rest of us from drowning with them.
But here - let this guy dressed as a woman come to your elementary school to read perversion and and roll around on the floor with your kids...
I would venture to guess Barack Obama is behind “The Squad.” He is coaching them what to say and do.

Future historians, assuming there are any, are going to look back on our time and call them The Crazy Years.

Would love to hear these fever swamp dwellers describe “who we are” because that is always missing from their silly memes
Oh, there will be. Who they are and what they are will make the difference.
"The victor writes the history".
I always have this hunch that Trump was
But I believe that Cenk Fatso from TYT was behind all of this.
He always stated he wanted to kick the wall streeters out of the dem party and shift it as far left as possible
He is doing just that.....
the commie-jihadi axis
The commie-jihadi axis!
America will never buy their act.
They are ensuring that President Trump will be re elected with a majority in both houses!
Don’t forget about the newly-minted transgender women who are destroying women’s sports.
