My cousin once told me that during trips he’d taken to socialist countries in connection with his job, he’d witnessed the glaring failures of socialism many times. I don’t remember what got him started, but he began venting about the wretched conditions he observed in every socialist country he ever visited, all of them.
Obviously grateful that he was born in capitalist America -- he lives in a million-dollar home and owns a private plane -- he ended his anti-Marxist speech with this unambiguous declaration: “I want nothing to do with socialism.” My cousin is a patriotic Democrat and a strident anti-socialist. He loves his country and hates socialism, yet is totally blind to the profoundly un-American direction the party he supports has taken. When I present him with credible information in that regard, such as the respected surveys cited above, he reflexively reaches deep into his tiny bag of rational rebuttals and then, upon finding it empty, responds with the kind of sarcastic, non-serious political comment that pollutes the web.
Here’s my theory. No informed person can fail to recognize that the modern Democratic Party is attempting to fundamentally transform America into a single-party socialist nation. But because the human ego is loathe to admit it’s been duped, especially about politics, many Democrats who love their country will likely continue allowing themselves to be led like sheep into the closing noose of the hammer and sickle. Like distracted grazers in lion country, patriotic Democrats like my cousin won’t realize what happened until it’s too late.

Anyone who still votes Democrat after the 2000 election and 9/11/01 is an absolute Fool!
Get thee to a Trump rally.
You’ll find plenty of patriotic Donald Dems. :-)
There are no Democratic patriots. Any "patriotism" Democrats feel is apparently towards a non-existent country that has no resemblance to America.
