Today’s Democratic Party has abandoned its traditional working-class, patriotic roots and embraced a radical Jacobin ideology built on division, coercion, and political extremism.
For the past century, the agendas of the Democratic Party were predictable. They professed concern for working Americans and supported blue-collar unions.
Unemployment insurance, a 40-hour work week, disability insurance, and Social Security were their trademarks—often rapidly achieved by growing government bureaucracies and continually raising taxes. Still, many Democrats were socially conservative.
By the 1970s, Democrats still deplored antisemitism. Party officials had rejected their own segregationists to champion civil rights.
Presidents like Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, and John F. Kennedy all supported strong defense and military deterrence.
All that is now passé.
The only vestigial Democrat left in Congress is Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman, himself roundly despised by Democrat leaders.
Today, supporting Israel and calling for campuses to stop their institutionalized antisemitism is Democratic political suicide.
Forty years ago, any Democrat with a Nazi tattoo was political toast; today, he can become the party’s nominee for the Maine Senate race.
So, the current Democrat Party is no longer truly democratic at all. Its new spirit and methods resemble the radical Jacobin Party of the French Revolution. Today, Democrats claim that if any opponent gives a Roman salute, he is a Nazi—while insisting that one of their own with a Nazi tattoo is not.
Jacobinism rejects Martin Luther King Jr.’s emphasis on the “content of . . . character.” It instead prefers fixating on “the color of . . . skin.”
It aims to divide the nation arbitrarily between the noble oppressed and the toxic oppressors.
So these new Jacobins have institutionalized racially separate college dorms and graduation ceremonies, along with hiring and promoting on the basis of race.

May they meet the same fate as their forebears did in 1794. Yeah, I went there.

Lets just say it. Archo Communists.
It is a shame the GOPe Congress performs CPR on these rotten mongrels rather than burying them and taking advantage of their current position as majority.
Not as dead as should be sadly it will rise from the dead no matter how bad the corpe stinks...
Oh definitely. A nightmare is coming. I hate even thinking that they’re gonna take the house even with the redistricting. It’s gonna be such a mess with them investigating every freaking day mainly because they’re mean about it.
And tens of millions of illegals have entered the country in the 25 years since. I have no doubt that there are at least 50 million illegal aliens in the country. There were 11 million back in 1986 (that the government admitted to, anyway). That was 40 years ago.
Now that they have a king, Mr. Hakeem Potatohead, the Donkey Cong flying Luigi Monkees are on their way out.
They are straightup Communists.
The longer we delay internalizing this truth, and figuring out effective ways of defeating their Communism, the closer we come to being wiped out by them.
The longer people are satisfied by VDH's nerdly, professorial, wordy, show-offy history lessons about the "Jacobins" the longer we wait to be exterminated by them.
These people are not some curiosity figures in an old, charming woodcut.
They are Pol Pot.
They are Mao.
They are Stalin.
They are Lenin.
They are the H man.
And our side better start pulling its collective heads out and stop sipping brandy in the study reading history books and get hip to the murderous reality of these people, and start defeating them.
Probably ought to tell them that...
We need to do what General Pinochet did.
Put this in the re-living forgotten history category.
The liberal white women are killing the democrat party. It’s great to be alive these days and witness it.
The Democrat Crime Syndicate is alive. Many members, supporters, sycophants will continue their evil ways. The recipients of their schemes are grateful.
Apres Trump le deluge
I had to look up this Jacob reference.wicopedia is good and included this
“ historian Victor Davis Hanson likened the rise and policies of leftists in the Democratic Party in 2019 to the Jacobins and Jacobinism.[87]”
The original Jacobins may have gone to extremes with things like the Reign of Terror, but they were of middle class background and not as radical as later socialists and communists. But that was when the industrial revolution was just getting started, before there were large numbers of factory workers.
It's similar to these leftists who can't tolerate calling illegal aliens "illegal" because that's exactly what they are, and exactly why we object.
