‘Faddish ideology’

The results of the last national election will hopefully bring the Democrat party back to common sense and reality. The present-day left wing progressive refrain has done enormous harm to our national structure and specifically the party of FDR and JFK.

That honorable political party was lost with LBJ and destroyed by President Obama.

Sadly progressive liberalism has caused them to become the party of white guilt and cancel culture, of racial divisiveness, of people who say “birthing people” instead of mother, and want the FBI and the federal justice department to investigate people who have the audacity to criticize teachers, calling them “domestic terrorists”.

There is a punitive and sadistic desire, the modern day McCarthyism, to see people harmed who dissent from their worldview.

This is an increasingly central and defining feature of today’s American liberalism. This faddish ideology must stop.

The election result is hopefully a defining moment that the use of racial division and racial demonization cannot be used to overturn economic systems in favor of the failed socialist policies of contemporary history.

If you doubt the tragedy of Marxism/Communism you need only to review the poverty driven devastation of Eastern Europe after falling under collectivist rule in about 1945. They are still struggling to recover.

The Democrat party of Jefferson/Jackson (the name now dishonored by the woke generation as slave holders) needs to recall the words of President Clinton to rediscover it’s past and commonsense. His comments that “The era of big government is over” and that abortion should be” Safe, legal and rare” are worth remembering.
