Why It Sucks to be a Democrat in 2020
Townhall.com ^ | July 11, 2020 | Susan Stamper Brown

No one should feel sorry for the Democratic Party because they are reaping what they’ve sown.

From elected officials like Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) calling for the dismantling of America’s “oppressive” economic and political systems -- to the violent third world-like cities they run -- the Democratic Party is in a death spiral of its own making.

We should be thankful.

Democrats have had plenty of time to get it right. The Democratic Party is the oldest voter-based political party globally and the longest existing one in the United States. You’d think wisdom would come with time.

Instead, look at them. All you see is negativity. They think America is evil because they filter everything through the prism of lies, hate, doom and despair. There once was a difference between Marxists and Democrats. No longer. That’s what they get for sleeping with the enemy.

Now they hate America the same way tyrannical governments do.

They say America is evil. Tell that to the desperate protesters in Hong Kong. (They have a window to America’s future if Democrats gain control.) Leftists ignore that Hong Kong protesters are not demanding the regime gets woke; they want freedom. They aren’t waving BLM and rainbow flags; they’re waving the American flag. Too bad we can’t trade out five leftists for every Hong Kong protester.

Democrats destroy everything they touch.

Consider their accomplishments: They banned school prayer, legalized abortion and support infanticide. They’ve secularized society, replaced God with government and personal charity with social justice. They’ve substituted religion for reason, blurred the lines between males and females and destroyed the nuclear family. They’ve lorded over the destruction of America’s youth, brainwashing kids to the point they hate America, their parents and themselves.

Look at their cities: Democrats’ cities burn as the stench of human feces fills the air. During the pandemic, pot shops thrive while businesses and churches stay closed. Lawlessness prevails as mobs mete out a perverted form of justice where good people get punished and criminals get rewarded. Black-on-black murders rise. Babies get shot without a whisper, while anarchists decimate whole city blocks because of the murder of one man.

Their world is dark, dangerous and violent. They scream about the very things their policies created. Things like racism, victimization, oppression, injustice and discrimination--as if yelling about them somehow deflects blame.

They can’t help themselves, something Dr. Lyle H. Rossiter, Jr. described in his book, “The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness.”

Rossiter says a leftist’s mind sees the world through the prism of “pity, sorrow, neediness, misfortune, poverty, suspicion, mistrust, anger, exploitation, discrimination, victimization, alienation and injustice.” They view people as “poor, weak, sick, wronged, cheated, oppressed, disenfranchised and exploited.”

Forget personal responsibility. They blame everything on capitalism, global warming, white people, police officers, Christians, America’s founders, guns and conservatives, to name a few. And Trump. Trump is to blame for everything under the sun.

Former First Lady Michelle Obama is the poster child for the “Hate America” crowd. During her last Christmas in the White House, Michelle said she was feeling hopeless. Hopeless, after eight years and all the extraordinary opportunities she had as America’s first lady. Undoubtedly, all the designer gown-wearing, Hollywood hobnobbing, $100-per-serving wagyu steak-indulging and taxpayer-funded globetrotting didn’t fix the hopelessness which ailed her.

It goes to show you that leftism is like a disease that won’t be satisfied until it devours all of you. It’s hard to be hope-filled when you’re eaten up with bitterness and resentment over “evil” America.

During an interview, Michelle told Oprah Winfrey, “We are feeling what not having hope feels like”—although her husband, Mr. Hope-and-Change himself, had eight years to propagate hope had he not been so preoccupied with change.

With “hope” like that, no wonder Americans voted for change.

Democrats will never be happy until everyone feels as miserable as they do—and they won’t rest until you take a knee and hate America too.

Until the Chinese coronavirus pandemic hit, America was on the rise and returning to its former greatness --despite Democrats’ Russia conspiracy theories, failed impeachment schemes and attempts to overthrow the 2016 election.

Nonetheless, those of us who voted for Trump in 2016 still believe.

We believe in God…loving our families…caring for the weak…protecting the unborn. We believe in the U.S. Constitution…holding dear to truth…clinging to our guns…embracing our freedoms. We believe in law and order… backing the blue…loving our military. We believe in equal rights and equal opportunity …embracing personal responsibility…encouraging hard work.

And despite current circumstances, we still believe this extraordinarily exceptional country is the world’s last great hope. We believe America’s best days are before us. And more than ever, we believe leftism must be defeated.

If that, my friends, is Democrats’ definition of oppression and hopelessness, it sucks to be them.

"You’d think wisdom would come with time. Instead, look at them."

Actually, wisdom was there at the time the country was founded. Consider Ben Franklin's comment when asked what kind of government there would be: "A Republic, if you can keep it!"

The (small d)democratic process can easily result in mob rule, unless that is controlled. It's "controlled" by proper education, morality, elections, and media. The Democrats have destroyed all of these. To the Democrats, education has turned to propaganda, morality is absolutely gone, elections involve rampant cheating, and the media is so one-sided that it fails to inform the truth.

Their party is completely destroyed. We must work hard to prevent that from happening to the nation.

Side Bar Item: I was right again...the tell-all Blockbuster Book written by John Bolton is not a blockbuster seller at all. Being less then two weeks out and the book has dropped from a momentary number one bestseller, tome (2 days) down to number and dropping rapidly. Bottom Line = The “Bargain Book Bin” (One dollar per book)!!! I predicted this book would fail in less then two weeks and, I was right on target!!! Goodbye, John Bolton.

Mr. Bolton, if you need assistance in gaining employment...I will gladly introduce to you Bill De Blasio, the Mayor of NYC. He will gladly help you become a car windshield washer at the Lincoln & Holland Tunnels in NYC You will get a large bottle of Windex and a large roll of paper towels. You will receive twenty-five cents for cleaning the forward and rear windshields of the cars you clean!!! Good Luck!!!

Happy they have literally shown thier hand to all of America. Those on the sidelines all this time have had enough as well. Wait until the kids go back to school. The curriculum is already planned, all efforts funding and focus will be on students of color and you white privileged kid will be ridiculed, and considered an outcast and sent to the back of the line. This is just the administration doing this. The seriousness of this all is the children who will be attacking your children because they can and will not be prosecuted for it. Parents better wake up to all of this quick

“and they won’t rest until you take a knee and hate America too.”

I have news for the author. Even if Democrats get everything they say they want...all of it...they will dream up new stuff. Finally, having won everything they ever asked for they will demand that everyone who is not them commit suicide. When even that happens they will still be unhappy and demanding change; perhaps marching and chanting in deserted streets among blowing tumbleweeds until they discover cannibalism and there is only one left. Even that one will be unhappy.

True but do you notice that they think there’s a caveat; you can covet for somebody else.
It’s what too many Christians think is “helping the poor”.

It always sucks to be a DIMocRAT. It shows that you are self-loathing and despise your country. Further, it acknowledges that you are a hate-filled bigot who despises your fellow Free Citizens.

It always sucks to be a liberal. As PJ PO’Rourke wisely summed them up as “grumpy spoiled children.”

Yeah, and if they get into the White House, that death spiral will encompass the entire U.S., there will be no escaping.

Biden has already said he wishes to amnesty all illegals and vastly increase the number of refugees and asylum seekers. All of whom will willingly (and stupidly) vote for the Democrat candidate.

Bidens handlers will make sure another Republican is never elected to POTUS again.

I agree about buying Goya food. I went out last night and hit up 6 stores. Goya food is somewhat hard to find, but I was able to get a couple of hundred dollars worth. I hate Dems and their boycotts.

Wait until the kids go back to school.

In my area, kids are not going back to school. Maybe not EVER again. The teachers got a taste of working from home and the teachers' unions will push for "distance learning" for as long as they can get away with it--which is a long time in CA.

Sucks to be a Patriot, pro Nationalist pro American worker having little choice but to reluctantly side with the globullist POS Republican too. Both parties stink on ice.

There was a column in the late 40s by Westbrook Pegler that I cannot find online. The following is a paraphrase from memory:

It was a beautiful morning. The sun was shining and the birds were singing as the last two people on Earth sat down to breakfast.

He was a blue-eyed blond without freckles and she was a blue-eyed blonde with freckles.

That morning, he decided he could stand the sight of her freckles no longer. So he shot her.

Then he drank the coffee she had poisoned.

It was a beautiful morning. The sun was shining and the birds were singing and there were no people.

Westbrook is nearly cancelled on the Internet. If anyone can find a copy of that column, I’d appreciate it.

“The sun was shining and the birds were singing and there were no people.”

I have read from numerous liberals and one that I actually know that, wouldn’t it be wonderful if half the world’s human population died? Of course, they mean the little people, not themselves. But what they don’t realize is, the lifestyles we live today depend on the consumption of billions of buyers. Food is dirt cheap because it is worth raising and slaughtering, among other things, 12 million chickens per day, 360 days per year. It is worth fracking oil and building huge refineries making gasoline probably as cheap as it was fifty years ago in real terms. It is worth building entire manufacturing plants to make iPhones and laptops that anyone can buy.

Can you imagine what these things would cost if they suddenly had only half the market they have now? It wouldn’t be twice the price. It would be an exponential. Also, the consumption of that huge market drives, directly or indirectly, probably two thirds of our economy.

Cut the world’s population in half and we would all suffer. But these people see a world where they never have to wait in a line and never have to see homeless people, because, obviously, those were in the half that died. Ah, yes, the joy of driving your BMW down a city street with no other traffic; just a few tumbleweeds.
