Karin McQuillan at American Greatness considers the lurch to
the far left in the Democrat party. She concludes:
. . .All the Democrats have pledged
to destroy America’s energy industry. Many have pledged to outlaw private
health insurance. All have pledged to open our borders to all. None of them
respect the Bill of Rights.
This is all so bizarre in American
terms it seems impossible. It is not only possible—it’s here.
Campus culture, after eight long
years of Obama’s interference, has come of voting age. They live in a hive-mind
social media society, policed by mobbing, with censored sources of information.
Through blacklisting, they have monopolistic control of our schools, colleges,
media, and the high-tech corporate giants. They have won hearts and minds. It’s
easy to do when those who don’t go along are destroyed. They enforce the
diktats of their ideology ruthlessly. That’s their American dream.
Politics is very emotional for
Democrats. They don’t care about jobs and national security, the two basic
duties of the president. According to the Democrat primary, the fate of the
world is at stake with the climate change crisis. Minorities’ existence is
under threat by Republican “white supremacism.” They don’t want prosperity if
it means some people—the hardest working, smartest, luckiest, most
entrepreneurial, most self-sacrificing—can earn fabulous wealth. They see
differences between people as unfair. They want sameness. They want to be given
things, not to earn them.
There is no returning the hard Left
to a harmless fringe. Their voters do not test their ideas or their policies by
debate. They demonize Republican ideas instead of engaging with them. Far
worse, they totally ignore real-world results. America’s success under
President Trump, based on freedom for individuals, property rights, and free
enterprise, only makes them angrier.
These voters live in a subculture
that tolerates no differing opinions. They are righteously determined to impose
their values on the rest of us.
This Democratic Party has gone
rogue.
