So many forget that FDR wanted to make the Democrats a bonafide Socialist party by his 2nd term, targeting and purging all center-right Dems out by the 1938 elections and the Supreme Court packing plan to rubber-stamp everything he wanted. Scary stuff then and no different today.
The moderates didn’t realize what their party leaders, along with the former POTUS, were doing to the party. The lunatics are already running the asylum, the moderates have been put into their cells and nobody is going to let them out.
I don’t see the party moving to the center, they have “leaders” that are trying to out-do each other in terms of how far left can you be. If you’re just to the left of Stalin, you’re now FAR RIGHT!!
They met in a phone booth.
let the brownshirts begin their ‘protests’
let the demotards have the poison they unleashed themselves
An even MORE appropriate title would be:
“Communists plot with Nazis on how best to fool the stupid democrat voters into voting for them again....”
The mask is off, bitches - we already KNOW what you human underarm stains are. Your little Barbie Mao protege up in New York is running around telling folks EXACTLY what we always knew you were.
Nice poster... GREAT Range Target.
Two in the hammer and sickle, three each in Lenin and Trotsky.
From 500 yards out.
“...So many forget that FDR wanted to make the Democrats a bonafide Socialist party by his 2nd term, ...”
It’s not so much “forget” as it is NEVER BEEN TAUGHT. FDR is a Saint according to the Marxist rewrite of our history.
And the folks who were around back then and stopped him and that party are all gone now. So are the WWII vets who knew what that ideology really was.
So it’s up to us, either the easy way or the Hard Way.
"We will be a permanent minority party in this country," said Iowa state Sen. Jeff Danielson, a firefighter who represents an area that saw one of the biggest swings from Barack Obama to Trump during the 2016 election... Rep. Cheri Bustos, D-Ill., a member of the House Democratic leadership who represents a district Trump won, invoked Richard Nixon's "silent majority." "If you look throughout the heartland, there's a silent majority who just wants normalcy. Who wants to see that people are going out to Washington to fight for them in a civil way and get something done," she told reporters.
Too little, too late, plus, the article is just spin by some Partisan media shill. Thanks Hojczyk.
“You will be assimilated.”
Oh, please, no!
Don’t bring them into the GOP. That’s what created the GOPe uniparty. All that “Big Tent” crap. Stand for nothing, mean nothing.
Not what I meant, I meant they will eventually go with the socialists.
.
Is there really such a thing as a “moderate” dem anymore?
I seriously doubt it.
“Not what I meant,...”
Oh, thank goodness. I was askert there for a bit.
And yeah. Eventually they’ll lockstep with the socialists. If they were capable of thinking things through and relating cause to effect over time in a competent manner, they’d have stopped being Dems decades ago.
I believe FDR managed to get more and more card-carrying Socialists to join the Democrat Party camp by co-opting their agenda during his presidency.
Look at Norman Thomas’s (the Socialist Party’s perennial nominee for President) numbers over FDR’s four elections — Thomas had over 800,000 votes and nearly 3% of the vote overall in 1932, but was down to a minuscule 0.16% by 1944.
What really irks me is the useful idiots on “our side” (most of them neo-confederate swine) who repeat the myth about how “a few decades ago, the Republicans were the liberal party in this country” and “the Democrats were the conservative party back then” and “the two parties switched sides in the 60s and 70s”
Indeed, what did Thomas voters want that FDR didn’t give them? There was no need for a separate party anymore.
This split in the rat party is wonderful to behold. But I’m not so sure the Stalinists are in ascendancy, a couple of their darlings have won, one in Nebraska 2 beat ex Rat Rep Brad Ashford, eliminating rat hopes of taking back that seat, but more have lost.
I’ll repeat that I think this girl or whatever she is in NY probably won her low-turnout primary more because of her Hispanic name than because of her platform and that Crowley would have a decent shot at winning on the Working Families Line in November if he tried.
Why is Iowa a topic? Is it in the article?
Yeah, that's utter horsecrap. The South was just as likely to elect Big Gubmint Democrats decades ago as anywhere else. Look at the infamous Mississippi Democrat Senator Theodore Bilbo. He was a big time New Dealer along with being an epic-level racist. My Congressional district has elected mostly left-wing or national Democrats for most of the 20th century. One became Majority Leader & Speaker (Jo Byrns), another (J. Percy Priest) became Majority Whip. When Priest died, a center-right Democrat won to succeed him (Carlton Loser) and it upset the local Dems enough that when Loser beat left-winger Richard Fulton in the primary (claiming voter fraud), Fulton ran as an "Independent (Leftist) Democrat" to take the seat from Loser in the general. So it's been 58 years since a non-leftist has won here. And, of course, we had the two left-wing Senators Albert Gore, Sr. and Estes Kefauver. So that "big lie" deserves a derisive laugh in the face to anyone who repeats it.
As has been shown repeatedly: the Confederate States of America were more limiting of freedoms of WHITES than the Union-—CSA had more confiscation, more inflation, more drafting (but with more political exemptions), higher taxes, embargoed ALL cotton so farmers couldn’t see it; more censorship and of course total slavery for 1/3 of the southern population.
The South was no bastion of freedom.
