Claude,
My opinion is a little different. I don't think the Democrats have always been this extreme. As the Millennials have come to power, they have brought with them a virulent strain of Communism, which they call Progressivism in this country. They were taught to be this way in our Universities. When I was growing up, the Democrats were far more like the Republicans than different, and so the country remained united. But starting in the 60s and 70s, I noticed that our Universities started tilting towards the left. Now, I read an article that 99% of University professors say they are Democrats. Also, they are positively inclined towards Socialism and Communism. In addition, our main stream media is 99% Democrat as well, since most of their recruits come straight out of our indoctrinating Universities. It's a terrible situation, because as GZ said, they want to fundamentally change this country into something different, that looks a lot like the harder Socialism of Venezuela, which ultimately leads to Communism.
This hard left turn has happened mostly in the last 10 years, with the last 4 years being when they took the mask off completely in their hatred of Trump. Here is what the Democrats have already brought to our country. Censorship of free speech on all social media platforms. Censorship of anything negative about the Democrats in our main stream media. A complete lack of journalistic curiosity about anything negative about the Democrats. They have brought in cancel culture to punish anyone who disagrees with them and it is amazingly effective. Many prominent people have lost their jobs and are now unemployable just because they questioned the narrative whether it is about the efficacy of COVID lockdowns or about whether the BLM organization has a healthy purpose. BLM and Antifa are violent Marxist and Anarchist organizations that have burned our cities, rioted, and looted with impunity, even as Democratic attorneys general and district attorneys refuse to prosecute them. Democrats are very mad at Trump because he's ending our foreign wars, bringing our troops home and ending a lot of the corrupt gravy trains that many bureaucrats have used for decades to enrich themselves. So Trump has become enemy number one.
No, these are not the Democrats I grew up with. We no longer have anything in common with them. Oh and btw, I should tell you that I am of Cuban descent. My family lost everything in Communist Cuba when Castro took over. So I know it when I see it. Right now, as we speak, what we are witnessing is a Communist takeover of the USA. You are darned right you have never seen this before in the USA in your lifetime. This is new. If Trump loses, then the USA will be a Communist country. You may not believe me, but I see all the signs. You are watching the last gasp of the USA. You may not like Trump, but he's the last line of defense against that. |
