Democratic Weakness

Let's talk about how the Republicans are able to hijack democracy and destroy America.

First, let's clarify that the actions of the Republicans are not the fault of the Democrats. Republicans are corrupt and evil to a fault. 

The problem with Democrats is that they have been insanely weak over the last 30 years. They have no been united and whenever they manage to create a united front in a small blip of time, they're still weak. 

Let's go back to Obama. He failed to hold bankers responsible for the crash of 2008. He weakened the power of the Southern District of New York attorney general. He was not aggressive enough with Russia, China, and even with the implementation and application of our own domestic laws to CEO's, and fellow politicians. 

He accomplished a lot of good for minority groups and the economy, and his Obamacare program no doubt! But he left a lot to br desired. This is the typical Democrat routine. Their goal has and always will be to appease and compromise. To find a middle ground with the opposition. 

Under normal circumstances this isnt a bad thing. This is how democracy should work. All parties should have the ability to come together and work for the common good of all the people. It is the duty of politicians and the parties they comprise to represent the people who elect them rather than their own self-interest. It is country over party over themselves.

The problem with the Democratic party as previously stated is their weakness i.e. their desire to compromise and appease. Again, under normal circumstances in our representative democracy this is a healthy, good, and to be expected thing. But we are not in normal circumstances, we are not in usual or normal times. These are abnormal and unusual times and if the Democratic party continues to lay be the same old rules they will continue to lose and more importantly they will fail the entire country. There is a heavier weight on their shoulders now than ever. And they are failing. Hard.

How?

1. Failure to speak in simple, direct terms. An example would be "Trump is wicked, Trump is destroying democracy. McConnell is wicked, etc". They need to call things exactly as they are and stop beating around the Bush.

2. Failure to unite the Democratic party. This is a long-standing issue with the Democratic party that has become more obvious now than ever before. The older, more traditional Democrats lead the Democratic party. These are the snails, the ones who refuse to change, who cannot adapt, who do not understand the current political, economic, or society environment. This is evidenced by their promotion of Joe Biden over Bernie Sanders. 

3. Failure to understand or listen to the needs of the middle-class. The middle-class evokes passion, enthusiasm for their beliefs, and the need for security in many different shapes and forms. The middle-class is also diverse. The most diverse class actually. If you look at the leaders of the Democratic party, specifically at their beliefs and the agendas they're pushing, or even how they are pushing them, there is little passion, enthusiasm, or any depth to any of it at all save for Bernie Sanders.

The Democratic party right now is also fragmenting which is a good thing under normal circumstances, but again these are not normal times. It's a bad time to br fragmenting but also necessary. 

Why?

Because the Republican party is wholly united and they comprise half the voting population of the country.

The Democratic party is fragmented into the new, younger, more progressive and aggressive side, and the old, more traditional and conservative side. 

The older, more conservative side led by Nancy Pelosi, is adamant in staying power even though their power is waning. They would rather sacrifice the Democratic party as a whole and their constituents as well as the well-being of the country than allow power to naturally pass to the next generation represented by Alexandria Ocasio Cortez. 

AOC is the new and much needed aggressive style of party the Democrats badly need. Pelosi doesn't have the appearance, the look, the style, the grammar, or the principles that the younger and more populous Democratic generation represents. I.e. mismatch.

Millenial Democrats want Bernie Sanders, want AOC. They want and need change that Pelosi and her compatriots are unable and unwilling to bring. This creates a gap between the old and new Democratic parties and allows the Republican party to take advantage of their more united front because any and every Republican will vote Republican and support any Republican candidate put forth by McConnell and the Republican regime. However, not every Democrat will vote for any Democrat put forth by Pelosi and the Democratic leaders. This could and likely will lead to the Republican establishment siphoning additional votes they need for reelecting Trump and keeping McConnell and their comrades in power for the foreseeable future.

Where is Obama now? Obama has been fairly quiet. He hasn't spoken much. He hasn't helped the current Democratic party as much as he could or should. He has continued to show the same weakness that he showed following the crisis of 2008. Sure, he has tweeted a few things and said a few things since leaving office but it hasn't been nearly enough for what the country or the Democratic party needs. 

Again, this exemplifies the weakness in the Democratic party. Obama should be hosting town-halls, working at the grass-roots level to gather support and whoop-up enthusiasm within the country. He should be on CNN, ABC, and all the MSM. This current election campaign deserves his attention more than anything else. He needs to speak up, he needs to say strong, powerful, and divisive language. He needs to yell, clench his fist, to identify Trump, McConnell and the entire administration as they enemy. His failure to do so enables the Repiblican party to run rampant.

Why is he not calling out the Supreme Court for enabling the state of Wisconsin to prevent registered voters from voting? Why is he not calling out McConnell for stacking the courts? If he is, why isn't he being louder? 

Because Obama is weak. He is part of the old-school, traditional Democrats that were trained to think linearly. They do not know how to adapt, they cannot change (ironic), and they operate by the rules of old.

Obama wields a exorbitant amount of influence and powers still! And yet, he won't use it. Or simply doesn't understand how to use it effectively. He could have thrown his support behind Bernie, he didn't. He could have thrown his support against AOC, he didnt. He could have condemned and called out McConnell, Trump, Navarro, literally any member of the Republican elite and has had yet to effectively do so.

Republican Goals

The goal of Republicans is the following:

1. Hijack democracy

2. Transfer power to conservative Christian leaders.

3. Strip power from all existing democratic institutions.

4. Pillage federal and state treasuries.

5. Construct trifunctional class system consisting of religious leaders, nobility, and working class.

6. Centralize power with Christian pastors and radical right-leaning leaders as the heads of power, with nobility class acting as enablers of their power.

The idea behind this is to create a form of theocracy, one where all power in all forms rests within the leaders of the radical Christian right. 

They see more in common with right-leaning radicals in Europe (especially Russia) then they see with anyone else.

Why?

Russian right leaning radicals have conservative, traditional values such as the oppression of women and minority groups including the LGBTQ community, Muslims, and what they see as "true" capitalism, which involves trickle-down economics, generational wealth. 

More importantly, they see more in common with the radical Russian church than anything else. 

What does this mean?

First, it helps to explain why the Trump administration is so nice to Russia and why they sympathize with them. Secondly, it means we will see a stronger alliance between our radical right (the vast majority of the Republican party today) and with the Russian government under Putins authoritarian rule. This relationship has mostly been in the shadows, but this will change, especially if Trump is reelected. 

Trump

Welcome to the downfall of America. The Trump administration is destroying America through moral, ethical, financial, economic, and societal devaluation and destruction. 

How so? 

The Trump administration, specifically Donald Trump, his family, leading Republican politicians including senators, congressman and women, representatives, and their base support. They began by firing and removing all remnants of Democratic power, and even their own Republican leaders that they deemed were not on their side. The Republican party has become become racist, fascist, totalitarian, selfish, greedy, xenophobic, radical, and completely devoid and separated from any and all forces of good. They're without compassion. They have no ability to think rationally, to sympathize, to critically think. In short, the Republican (which hasn't represented anything "good" for decades) has reached a point of no return. They have crossed the threshold into ideology. Literally, half of the country has been taken over by radical ideology. 

This is a big problem. I cannot possibly state this strong enough. THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM. 

Why?

Because once an individual, a family, a group, has been taken over by ideology there is no easy or short fix. It becomes a long term, deadly, and disastrous process of trying to fix and cure this disease from an individual, let alone half of a country. 

Ideology is something deeply embedded in a person. Ideology trumps(!) logical reasoning, science, rational thinking, emotion, feeling, empathy, and literally any and every thought and emotion a human is capable of feeling. Ideology is what led to terrorist organization like Hezbollah, the Taliban, al-Qaeda, ISIS, Venezuelan politics, Cambodian massacres, Stalinsm, Nazism, and more. 

Ideology even supercedes religion. There is no greater force on Earth than ideology. There is no way to talk a person out of their ideology. You cannot persuade a person to stop following an ideology. Nor can you show them anything that would convince them to stop following an ideology. 

So what can we do?

Simple. War. Battle. Blood. I am advocating for any of that, however historically that's the only solution if you want to call it that.

There is one other possibility.

Tame them. This is very, very difficult and requires a strong unification of the Left. It involves overrunning and destroying the ideology of the Right. Fake news, psychological warfare, manipulation, and creating a narrative is required. 

Create a narrative of strength on the Left. Of middle-class, blue-collar working folk. Create and adopt strong, masculine symbology. The hammer and sickle. Camo. Hunting. Fossile fuels. Religion. Christianity. We don't turn out backs on our own beliefs and principles, instead, we hijack theirs. Use the farmer, the hunter, the rancher, the tradesmen, the family, the cross, Christianity and play them to our narrative through every media outlet in the country. Mainstream television, cable, YouTube, Twitch, through both shows and advertisements every where online, TV, newspapers, books, podcasts, etc. 

The Democratic party must and can adapt and change. It's one of their strengths. The Republican party is not capable of adaption or change in quite the same way. This is has been one of the core issues with the Democratic leadership. They don't want to change, they have been slow, sluggish, and resistant to any change. As a result, the Radical Right has been able to outflank the Democrats and hijack the country through the White House, Senate, and the Courts. 

The Democratic party must remove their current leadership and replace them with younger, more agile leaders who have a better grasp on the pulse of the people.
