The Divine Right of the Democratic Party
National Review ^ | September 11, 2019 | Kevin D. Williamson

Posted on 09/12/2019 2:52:38 AM PDT by C19fan

Michelle Goldberg of the New York Times has a dream, a dream in which about half of the American people are deprived of an effective means of political representation, a dream of one-party government in which the Democrats are the only game in town — “Dare We Dream of the End of the GOP?” her column is headlined — which also is a dream of visiting vengeance upon those who dared to vote for their own interests as they understood them and thereby schemed “to stop the New America from governing.”

Is Bill Kristol running the show at National Review? If yes, I refuse to click through.

NYT's Michelle Goldberg has a dream... of visiting vengeance upon (us) who scheme “to stop the New America from governing.”

By "The New America"....does she mean Democrats' Darlings of Diversity......the Three Squats and a Turd?

Lots of crud on the NR website, including the latest anti-Trump column by Jonah Goldberg.

However, this Williamson piece is well worth a read. The headline reflects Williamson’s contention that the RATs regard any opposition as illegitimate. It’s not Trump so much they oppose as all Republicans and conservatives.

They want to deny us any say at all in the way we are governed.

I don’t much care for Williamson, but he’s spot on in this column.

Not really news to me. It underscores the importance of the 2nd amendment and why we need the very kind of guns the Left wants confiscated more than ever before.

The Democrats are not a center-left party. For a long time they have been controlled by Marxists and leftist oligarchs.

The party of taxes, death and slavery. They want our wealth, income and labor with no representation. Just a continuous stream of humiliation.

Williamson is a snotty no Trumper.

In 2016 he wrote about Trump and the white working class devotion to him. His prescription:

“The truth about these dysfunctional, downscale communities is that they deserve to die.”

Can’t stand this guy.

I would argue that is the situation NOW! The Republicans( Non Trumpian RINOS ) represent a tiny sliver of globalist-corpratists and the Democrats are only into identity politics and socialism. The American working class HAS NO POLITICAL PARTY.
