How Did Democrats Get Here? Democrats’ embrace of thuggery over democracy is not normal.
Karin McQuillan
Democrats have become the party of
thuggery, from the top leaders abusing President Trump as a traitor and
criminal, to the Antifa black shirts beating up Trump supporters in
Democrat cities. The ginned up hysteria over Trump’s election has grown
with Trump’s triumphant successes with the economy and national
security.
The Democrats’ motivation for the fake impeachment crisis is
obvious—they have no platform and no candidate that gives them a path to
the White House. What is less obvious is why three years of ugly, crude
propaganda, threatened and actual violence, wearisome agitation and
lies is playing so well to previously normal Democrats.
The Democrat Party has veered far left very fast, without any
pushback from within the party. Their voters have turned, seemingly
overnight, from normal American citizens to a deranged mob after Trump’s
blood. This weird transformation is normalized by blaming it on Trump
himself, and the shock of his victory.
A moment’s reflection shows how
superficial that derangement explanation is.
Trump did not make the Vermont socialist Bernie Sanders a powerful
political force in 2016. He is not responsible for Elizabeth Warren’s
desire to confiscate people’s wealth. Trump did not cause the majority
of Democrats to reject freedom of speech and religion, or to prefer
socialism to capitalism. How did those radicals become so powerful that
they now dominate the party leadership?
There is nothing in what Trump has done as president that explains
the unconstitutional attacks against him. It is the reverse—the attempt
to frame and entrap President Trump and his team as traitors with
Russia, was begun by the Obama DOJ, FBI, CIA and White House
before
his inauguration. It was the Obama Administration’s actions that
necessitated the all-out attempt to delegitimize President Trump before
he could expose them.
President Trump did nothing to provoke the Obama intelligence
community framing him as a Russian traitor. You have to look at
President Obama to understand this unprecedented attempt to overturn a
presidential election. Our press, including most of the conservative
press, has always been unwilling to focus on Obama, and the Marxist
forces he unleashed in American politics.
We can’t even use the word
Marxist without the taint of supposed “McCarthyism.” Better to use vague
terms such as “radical” or “Left,” or better still, avoid the deeper
issues by calling the war against our president “derangement.”
The Mueller investigation and the phony impeachment would have been
impossible without #TheResistance insisting on radical partisanship. The
propaganda war against Trump hasn’t touched his loyal, grateful,
voters, but it has turned normal Democrats into mindless haters.
There is nothing so terrible about President Trump that he can’t be
treated fairly and rationally by the press and his opponents.
Derangement is a choice.
It is a strategy. It is true that President Trump often breaks norms of
how politicians talk. He is rude. He does troll his opponents and
purposely make them lose control. At the same time, his policies and his
achievements are centrist; they would have been acceptable if a
President Clinton proposed them.
Trump is obnoxious to his political opponents, but he is also warm,
charming, and funny. He is loving and protective towards ordinary
Americans of all colors, genders and sexual preferences, new citizens
and old. He has off-the-charts common sense and patriotism, and plain
speaking.
The president’s reality-based policies on energy, regulation, trade,
job creation, and China have made each of us more prosperous and safer.
These are not distant achievements. Trump has made the lives of ordinary
people better in concrete ways that can’t be hidden by Democrat talking
points, by bringing the working class and unemployed jobs, fighting
crime, and controlling our southern border. And he would have done more
if not for Democrat obstruction. He has done more to help the poorest
Americans achieve a better life than any president in living memory.
Ordinary Democrats’ extreme hatred of Trump and his supporters is far
from normal. Insisting we enforce immigration laws on the books is not
the second coming of Hitler. Democrats genuinely believe it is. They
talk themselves into nonsense, while Trump is gains popularity among
Hispanic voters (who made up 30 percent of the audience at his rally in
New Mexico). The fact that Presidents Clinton and Obama both urged
securing our borders makes no difference. When Trump obeys American law,
he is evil.
I asked a neighbor, a Democrat moderate, why he hated President Trump. His answer: Charlottesville.
The idea that Trump praised neo-Nazis after Charlottesville is an
outright lie about what the president said. It is easily rebutted by the
videos and transcripts, but—typical of the propaganda-inflamed
mob—rebutting the lie makes absolutely no difference. My neighbor
“knows” Republicans are racists and nothing will shake that belief.
This is a huge winning propaganda stroke for the Democrats. My
neighbor actually agrees with the president’s policies on the border, on
China, knows the economy is doing well, can see the country is at
peace—none of that matters, he thinks Republicans are deplorable
racists.
We accept Democrats despising Republicans as racist as though it were
normal, but we shouldn’t. Republicans believe what every decent
American believed during the Civil Rights era—that everyone should be
treated equally regardless of race, period.
The Democrats’ conviction that half the country, led by Donald Trump,
is white supremacist in its outlook is just plain weird. Trump was
elected by winning over Midwestern voters, the salt of the earth, who
had
previously voted for Obama. Trump’s rhetoric on race has
been unifying, not divisive, typified by his favorite phrase, “whether
we are black or brown or white, we all bleed the same red blood of
patriots, we all enjoy the same glorious freedoms, and we all salute the
same great American Flag.” Remember his great line in his inaugural
address: “When you open your heart to patriotism, there is no room for
prejudice. The Bible tells us, ‘How good and pleasant it is when God’s
people live together in unity.’”
Trump’s actions on race follow his rhetoric. Whether it is with
mainstream economic opportunity zones in the inner city, or his response
to the black communities desire for incarceration reform, or his
economic policies which have helped minorities more than any other
segment of the population, his policies show a deep commitment to
helping the black community.
Yet good-hearted Democrats “know” Trump is divisive, and that it is their party which brings the country together.
The number of Democrat liberals fighting back against the libel, the
hate, and hard leftists taking over over their party is miniscule. Alan
Dershowitz comes to mind. I know there are a few others, but I can’t
recall them at the moment.
What is going on?
“How evil is the left? This evil,”
John Hinderaker
wrote after the “appalling” Antifa attacks on Trump supporters and
police in “nice” Minnesota. But not a single Democrat politician or
media voice finds the violence appalling. Just the opposite—a Democrat
legislator participated in the riot, while others, including U.S.
Representative Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), tweeted their approval.
“Are there any moderate Democrats left?” Hinderaker asked.
It’s an important question. Why aren’t Democrats fighting for their
own party—and our country—against the hostile takeover by the Left?
