The Democratic party is nothing more than a criminal gang

Cui bono?

The late Wyoming senator Alan Simpson is credited with labeling the two major American political parties as the Stupid party (Republicans) and the Evil party (Democrats). The early history of our country’s politics was fractious, whereby the Democratic-Republicans broke away from the Federalists, and the Democratic-Republicans themselves separated into factions—one led by John Quincy Adams, and the other by Andrew Jackson.

The Adams faction called themselves the National Republicans, and the Jackson group became the Democratic Republicans—shortened to the Democrats by 1828. Various splinter groups who disliked Jackson (calling him “King Andrew”) joined with former National Republicans to create the Whig party in 1834.

The Republican party as we know it today was formed in the 1850s, when antislavery leaders (including former members of the Democratic, Whig, and Free-Soil parties) joined forces to oppose the extension of slavery into the Kansas and Nebraska territories by the Kansas-Nebraska Act (1854). This Act promoted the notion of “popular sovereignty,” allowing the residents of each territory to determine by vote whether they would be slave or free. As such, 1820’s Missouri Compromise was invalidated.

At meetings in Ripon, Wisconsin (May, 1854), and Jackson, Michigan (July, 1854), the idea to establish a new party was conceived, and was formalized at the Jackson convention. Thus, at the very outset of this two-party rivalry, the Democrats were pro-slavery, and the Republicans were anti-slavery.

Slavery was officially abolished, of course, with the 13th amendment (1865). 99 years later, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 would appear, opposed by the southern faction of the Democratic party. It is one of the greatest ironies in American history that the Democrats were able to somehow identify as the party of civil rights, merely because the Act was signed by Democratic president Lyndon Johnson—himself a profoundly cynical and Machiavellian southern Democrat.

Never mind that the Civil Rights Act would never have passed, but for significant Republican support. At any rate, by virtue of their bogus public posture related to this Act, the Democrats portrayed themselves as the party of Social Justice—mostly engineered to benefit NGOs, with little left for the supposed victims. And that has forced them down an absurd rabbit hole of ever more divisive causes, including mindless DEI, and a robotic adherence to the neo-Marxism of seeing the world through the prism of oppressor/victim.

Never mind also that the clients of the Dems (the minorities and working class who slavishly vote for them) have scarcely prospered. Many major cities have been run by Democrats for 80 years or longer, and seem to only be getting worse.

Now, the Dems are proudly supporting men in women’s sports, preferring criminal illegal aliens to their own citizens, and were trying to gaslight the world about the mental state of Joe Biden. The latter energized by their all-consuming irrational hatred of Donald J. Trump.

The collateral damage to our very culture has been far-reaching. On the same day, on the front page of the LA Times, two stories appeared: “Free speech” advocates decried Trump’s lawsuit against CBS for its shameless editing of the “60 Minutes” Kamala Harris interview, done solely to hide the fact that she can barely construct a meaningful and coherent statement. The other was the case of middle school student Liam Morrison, in which the Supreme Court refused to hear his appeal of a 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that he did not have the right to wear a shirt proclaiming that “There are Only Two Genders.”

So much for free speech. And, while we’re at it, where were all those “due process” advocates (regarding illegal aliens) when thousands of businesses were closed during the COVID plandemic, or when millions were forced to take the “vax”?

We will always have corruption and bad leadership. The real evil of the Dems is societal destruction. A hopeful sign is the public’s rejection of what these degenerates stand for.
