Picked up Mark Levin's new book, "THE DEMOCRAT PARTY HATES AMERICA"

A truer title could not be found.

Power and money are all that matters to the lunatic left. The modern golden calf for Maoists who worship both. They couldn’t care less about the future of the country so long as the power and money continues to flow their way and when they see a genuine threat like Trump, they gather every force they have to destroy that threat personally and professionally.

“Now I will tell you the answer to my question. It is this. The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from the oligarchies of the past in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just around the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me.”
― George Orwell, 1984

Democrats only understand power.

And they know how to get power.

And they know how to keep power.

You had not better question their election wins, for they have the power to get you to pay, with your loss of freedom or your loss of power. We have seen that in the last 4 years. If you question how they get power, you are not paying attention.

Democrats used to have some ethics and integrity. At least generally and they kept their own in line.

But that was a long time ago and it has gotten “progressively” worse over time.

Nah, maybe I am just naive and they have always been bad.

Become? like when, 1900? Because they've been for authoritarian rule since Woodrow Wilson at least. Just slow rolled it for 100 years, now they think they're close and the can't be stopped so the sped up their race towards the dictatorship they have craved since they used to wax poetic about how wonderful Mussolini was.

“You don’t like left-wing district attorneys indicting the Republican frontrunner ahead of election season? Better find some GOP state attorneys general to indict Hunter and Joe Biden.”

Conservatives will never do that, because they feel it would violate their own principles, and they would rather be shoved in the cattle car to the camps with their principles intact than compromise those principles and perhaps not have to suffer that ordeal.

Which is why conservatives, unfortunately, are completely unequipped to deal with domestic communists.

One modern tactic that Democrats use — pitting Americans against Americans, blacks against whites, ... one group against another. Right out of Satan’s playbook.

It keeps them in power that way — stirring up hatred. Nasty, evil.

The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate.

They just want your money in their pockets.

Does anyone think that Hillary Clinton wants to work on Hog Commune #45?

Does Anyone think that Joe Biden wants to work on Turnip Commune #23?

They want fancy cars and mansions and they get that by stealing your money.

The only thing you can do is stay out of their way.

In other words, they are committed to winning. Good for them.

How about you?
