If you listen to conservative talkers, you'll often hear things like "the Democratic party has moved so far left...." or 'the Democratic party now is a Socialist party." Neither is correct, in my view. Sun Tzu said:
Quote:
If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.
The Democratic party's primary operating principle is pelf, i.e. ill-gotten gains. Sure there are plenty of left-wing ideologues in the party, but they are primarily strung along as useful idiots. Bernie is a prime example.

I offer three indicators of this:

1)The $3.5 trillion spending package currently being debated. President Biden called on Democrats to reach a compromise number. Some have floated $2 trillion, while others say that 3.5 is the 'floor.'

Who does this? Suppose you're sitting at the kitchen table discussing a new roof or new car. You don't determine how much to spend first. You determine the need, and then the amount. Mayhap bank robbers do this. The size of the haul is priority #1, and how to spend it comes later. Democrats seem to share the thought process of brigands.


2)Four of the ten richest counties in the US are in the Washington D.C. area. This is exactly the result we would expect if the primary motive is pelf, not ideology.

3)The SALT cap put in place by President Trump was a massive tax increase on the rich. Democrats have overwhelmingly supported repeal of the cap. Even Bernie and AOC have admitted that repeal would be a tax cut for the rich. This is a significant 'tell' regarding the true nature of the party.

The true nature of the democratic party is electing leaders that grow government. The true nature of the republican party is electing leaders that grow government.

The citadel of the untermensch, the social parasites, the mentally challenged and generally detached from reality. 112 genders a sperglord supremo’s wet dream come true, and every perversion is justified.

No one in their right mind would ever put these unhinged liberals in charge of a country they hate.

Some people may classify a democrat as a Schyzophrenic person. They cannot make up their minds on Education. Who is educated and who is not. Unreal are democrats when it comes down to it, because this is their livelihood. I think this kind of politics really sucks.

Evil incarnate, the only existential threat to the US. That is how I describe today’s Democrat Party as someone who used to vote fir their candidates.

It's really all of the above. Funny that you bring up education, as the Radical BLM part of the party decries Western education as racist, including things like IQ. or math, or giving grades.

Then there's the part that yells "Misogyny" and the "Evil Partriarcy" of the west, but they believe a man can become a women at will. Kind of hard to scream "Misogyny" when you can't even acknowledge there's actual physical differences between men and women

The geographic coordinates in your title look like paradise.

44°54'36"N-66°59'04"W ... Small island way in the E part of Maine....

Welcome to a society where there arguably might be too much freedom by the way...when absolutely anything goes...an interesting social experiment we will all get to see play out.

Same as the Republican Party.

"The state — or, to make the matter more concrete, the government — consists of a gang of men exactly like you and me. They have, taking one with another, no special talent for the business of government; they have only a talent for getting and holding office. Their principal device to that end is to search out groups who pant and pine for something they can't get and to promise to give it to them." - H.L. Mencken

The Dems are actively trying to run this country into the ground so they can rebuild it as some Liberal utopia but in reality it will be a waste land populated by the "Have Nots" that rely on the "Haves" for everything they need to survive.



What else can we think is going on with the border being wide open, the laws of the land being unequally applied, actual achievement being supplanted by feelings poor attitudes and our History being "cleansed".



The Democrats are so mad to appease a tiny minority that they are forgetting about the increasingly angry majority.
