    The following opinion piece is a product of my long-term observation of the Democratic Party. This piece is directed at the party establishment, and that is what I refer to when I write “Democrats” or “you.”

    RELAX, DEMOCRATIC PARTY– YOU WON.

    I am sure you know how you did it but indulge my elaboration. You saturated the mainstream media, higher education, primary education, and Hollywood with minions, and you excel at community organization and propaganda. However, much of your strategy involves exploiting the seven deadly sins, especially greed, envy, and sloth, thus encouraging and maintain people’s dependence on government. That is no secret. About 55% of American households include someone who gets free “stuff” from the government, and about 60% of Americans take more from the government than they contribute to it. Humor aside, it is hard to vote against Santa Claus.

    You pander to various groups by creating special rights, such as transgender bathrooms and showers, giveaways like free college (more like free everything), paying people not to work, and waiving the necessity of paying rent, thus further strengthening people’s dependence on and allegiance to you. You divide the American people, pitting one group against another at every possible opportunity, and you use invectives against undeserving citizens fostering resentment and fear.

    To our country’s detriment, you prioritize and pander to illegal immigrants—your present and future voters and contributors. Your positions on illegal immigration and the southern border demonstrate that nothing is beyond the pale for you when it comes to power and votes—not even deaths, disease, mayhem, human trafficking, drugs, and murders. Our country, safety, jobs, and wages for legal immigrants and Americans take a back seat to your agenda, even though that agenda disproportionately disadvantages legal immigrants, Black, and Hispanic citizens, the populations that Democrats claim to represent and champion. As is typical of you, inconvenient facts and realities don’t matter and are ignored, especially regarding this issue.

    At one of the many violent Democratic riots that featured arson, violence, vandalism, plundering, and the silencing of free expression, I saw one of the rioters quote Huey Long’s contention that if fascism ever comes to America, it will be called anti-fascism. Rich, isn’t it? With no scruples, Democrats ruthlessly and incessantly harass and attack their political opponents. They did so with President Trump, his administration, and even his family—including his son and unborn grandson. Shame!

    The party portrays itself as the champion of children but advocates unrestricted abortion, including partial-birth abortions, and remains silent about killing a living, breathing baby outside the womb. You want to raise boys as though they’re girls and girls as though they’re boys. I read that a young child asked Mom, “Am I a boy or a girl?” And Mom answered with the question, “What do you feel like?” Imagine how confused that child was walking away from that conversation. Isn’t that a form of child abuse? You favor administering body and life-altering drugs and hormones to young children before they can comprehend the implications and consent because a parent perceives the child may have gender dysphoria. There are no reliable data on the long-term effects of the pediatric administration of these drugs and hormones. Again, isn’t that a form of child abuse? In many places, you have succeeded in getting 12-year-olds abortions in school without parental consent or notification when giving the same children aspirin at school requires parental consent.

    You have cultivated an environment in which Democratic politicians can get away with practically anything while Republicans are expected to fall on their swords for the mere appearance of impropriety. Also, you seriously hate Jews and Christians. When Christians dare to live their firmly held religious convictions, if you can, you destroy their businesses, livelihoods, and lives, then run to a liberal judge who condones your actions while conveniently ignoring the very first thing mentioned in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

    You are the champions of hypocrisy and lies, and I sometimes wonder whether the term “Anti-Christ is a synecdoche meant to describe you all as the collective embodiment of Satan.

    However, there is one ray of light: More and more people are abandoning your party because of your antics. (Of course, you will do everything you can to stop the Walk Away movement. I saw in the news that you recently tried.) So please, continue with your antics, including your attacks on President Trump and his family, and whatever you do, don’t apologize for your nonsense about President Trump’s Russian collusion and obstruction of justice. And certainly you shouldn’t look within. Stay the course, please.

    The United States has slipped toward socialism. We are not a full-blown socialist country yet, but we are past the tipping point. There have been temporary reprieves such as the 2016 election and recent Supreme Court confirmations, but they are transient like peaks in a bear market. I would be remiss if I did not give you credit for another accomplishment: rendering right wrong and wrong not only right but praiseworthy.

    What my grandfather used to say sixty years ago is still true today: “One party stinks, and the other one don’t smell so good.” However, the Democrats excel in this regard. Your enemies include Western culture and capitalism, and your goal is to dismantle them and rebuild this country into a socialist utopia. I am anxious for the 2022 election; it will be interesting.

    This opinion piece was submitted for your perusal by today’s lowest creature: a Christian, employed, heterosexual, cisgender, conservative, White American male of European descent.

    Not partisan and both sides are corrupt and self-centered.

    P.S. 2015 is "newly registered"!?!? ;-)

    Well, I hope this proved to be cathartic for you.
    Oh my!
    This may be a good thing but only time will tell.

    Did Clinton or Obama turn the country into a socialist utopia ???? NO THEY DID NOT !!!!! but Dirty Donald and Bush and Reagan did turn this country into a tax haven for the ultra wealthy as they currently prosper like never before.

    The fact that you think it's real says troubling things about your sanity.

    Oh yeah, the "everybody does it" defense. That may be so, but in the context of the OP, nobody does it like the Democrats.

    The fact that you don't see it as mostly real says even worse troubling things about you.

    "The United States has slipped toward socialism. We are not a full-blown socialist country yet, but we are past the tipping point."

    the GOP pushing for greedy global corporatism is destroying Capitalism

    you want socialism, that is how you get socialism

    time to put speed limits on excessive foreign outsourcing and excessive foreign imports

    I believe someone once said that a hand-up is better than a handout.

    He called the Democrats hypocrites. That is real. It's a fact.

    AOC bashed Tulsi for voting present on impeachment saying "You should take a stand" and then votes present on Iron Dome funding while crying.

    I would say most of what he said is fact.

    He did say both parties are not perfect and that one party is far worse then the other.

    If your argument is it's the Republicans you will not be taken seriously.
