As a good student of American history....I look at the current status of politics in the USA as to what happened during the Civil War. The Southern Confederacy was once the powerhouse political party. When Lincoln was elected, they went off their rockers with the hate for the Union and POTUS, Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln also suffered from many within his own party. But, Lincoln and the Union prevailed.
Why? the nations politics had changed, Slavery, was dying all over the world. The industrial revolution was really taking hold. Railroads were joining the country together. Manufacturing was outpacing agriculture. The South was not changing with the times and therefore was slowly dying, economically. Slavery was an idea whose time had passed.
Like slavery, “Big Brother Government” has failed the American people and, the American people have come to see, “government that governs least, governs best”. As a result, the Democrat Party is self-destructing. The only route for the Democrat Party is a rapid, strong move to political center of USA Politics. Less that, the Democrat Party will fade away, just as the Confederate States of America did. Nothing is as dead as a political idea or creed that has passed its time. Too bad the Democrat Party no longer has real world pragmatists in their midst. “Maxine Waters....ya gotta be kidding me.”
Brilliant analysis,I totally agree.
