As but one example of the Democrats' toxic partisan venom, I described their vicious and mean-spirited attacks on Jackie Evancho, a charming and prodigiously talented16-year-old soprano. The nasty vituperation against the apolitical and utterly inoffensive Ms. Evancho was motivated by nothing more than her acceptance of an invitation to sing at President Trump's forthcoming Inaugural Celebration, even though she had previously performed at President Obama's inauguration as well.
The people and party who gratuitously denigrated an innocent teenage singer solely because she agreed to perform at a President's inaugural ceremony have not mellowed in the least in the ensuing three years. Incredibly, the program of vicious partisan venom embraced by the Democrats in 2017 has since been exceeded in malice and madness by the Biden/Harris Democrats of today, who are inseparable from the Antifa and Black Lives Matters (BLM) terrorists who even now riot and pillage at will in many of America's cities with the encouragement and approval of the Democrat establishment.
A harsh but inescapable truth needs to be brought home with unambiguous insistence as America faces an election of existential importance this November:
The Democratic Party has moved far beyond all bounds of basic reason, decency, and sanity in its unashamed embrace of political violence, anti-white racism, criminal immunity, judicial lawlessness, systematic media falsification, and governmental abrogation of the most basic individual liberties guaranteed by the Constitution.
Taking into account the elements of political malice and madness pursued by the Democrat Left outlined below, it has simply become indefensible for any decent, reasonable, and self-respecting American to support and embrace today's Democrat Party, which has descended to the status of the mere political wing of the violent and extremist American Left. This contention is incontestably demonstrated by the list of appalling practices, atrocities, and policies of the Democratic Left outlined below.
The Hate-Whites Party. The Democrats are fully and enthusiastically invested in the pernicious and racist canards of so-called "white privilege" and the so-called "systemic racism" attributed to all white Americans. But the main race-based "privilege" bestowed on whites for the past 50 years has been that of being the victims of reverse discrimination in employment, education, and other fields under official governmental policies of affirmative action, diversity, and outright preference in place since roughly 1968. Yet the Democrats propose piling on still more unjust anti-white discrimination through such outrageous policies as so-called reparations for the slavery that hundreds of thousands of white soldiers fought and died to abolish. No one is more committed to this monstrous and divisive falsehood that the Democrat Vice-Presidential candidate, the deeply racist Kamala Harris, who has been an enthusiastic supporter of not only the most radical racial reparations programs but the resurrection of such pernicious race-based policies as destructive neighborhood busing programs.
The Pro-Riot Party. The Democrats have enthusiastically encouraged and supported the epidemic of vicious and sometimes deadly riots that have plagued American cities under the pretext of protest against allegedly wrongful killing of black criminal suspects by police. The Democrats (including VP candidate Harris, a vociferous cheerleader and defender of the destructive riots) both falsely insist that the riots are "largely peaceful protests," even while the flames set by the rioters burn behind them in plain sight; and, pleading inconsistently in the alternative, that the violent rioting is justified anyway by what they falsely describe as systemic racism against blacks by the police. In fact, the very premise for both the violent "demonstrations" and outright rioting is demonstrably false: the allegedly wrongful killings have invariably been provoked by the violent resistance to lawful arrests or investigations; and, in any event, the number of whites killed in confrontations with police is roughly double the number of blacks so killed. Regardless, the Democrats have unambiguously demonstrated their support of the epidemic of riots by successfully opposing a Republican resolution condemning such riots in the U.S. Senate.
The Defund Police/No Bail Party. As part of their attack on police triggered by the misportrayed police killings, Democrats have proposed and pursued a variety of utterly reckless and dangerous "criminal justice reforms," which would effectively abandon law enforcement in cities and even states where the Democrats control the government. These radical Democrat proposals include the following:
1. Defunding police forces, whose resources are already strained to the breaking point by the endemic criminal violence and rioting that prevails in many Democrat-controlled cities.
2. Abolishing any requirement for posting bail by violent criminals as a condition for pretrial release. The result is a vicious cycle of repeat offenses by violent criminals who should have been incarcerated pending their trials. Instead, Democrats would promptly release those arrested for violent crime, thus enabling them to perpetrate more violence pending trials which they may avoid in any case by absconding with no fear of bail forfeiture.
3. Reducing criminal penalties for assaults on police and other law enforcement personnel from serious felonies to lenient misdemeanors.
The Resisting Arrest Party. In their rabid attacks on police attempting to enforce the law, the Democrats would effectively immunize violent resistance to arrest by criminal suspects, at least when the suspects are minorities. In nearly every case where the Democrats and their Antifa/BLM allies have incited riots based on alleged police misconduct, the purported victims of the police actions were engaged in active resistance to arrest. The Democrats have even gone so far as to deny police the right to shoot a felony suspect who murderously charges them with a knife. Democrat bills to "de-felonize" assaults on police (one such bill was recently passed by the Democrat-controlled Virginia senate) are one part of their program to immunize resistance to arrest.
The "Hate the Founders" Party. The Democrats have openly sought to inflame racial tensions and division by obsessively harping on the evils of the American South's pre-Civil War system of slavery. That system was abolished over 150 years ago through a civil war, in which hundreds of thousands of white Americans died on battlefields in support of the abolitionist cause. Since then, literally thousands of remedial laws, policies, regulations, and court decisions have provided extensive remedies for the wrongful effects of slavery and discrimination -- even though most beneficiaries of these remedies were born more than a century after the end of slavery. After all this, the Democratic Party has suddenly endorsed the most malicious attacks on the character and integrity of the most revered figures in American history because they happened to own slaves, including George Washington, the Father of our Country; Thomas Jefferson, our third President and author of the Declaration of Independence; and James Madison, our fourth President and "Father of the Constitution." None of these great men approved or instigated slavery, which was party of the society into which they were born, and each spoke strongly against the institution. Whatever their culpability for inheriting or owning slaves in an established southern way of life, it is far outweighed by their monumental contributions to the American Revolution and the establishment of history's first democratic republic. Yet the Democrats have all but declared historical war on our greatest Founding Fathers. In the nation's capital itself, a Democrat-controlled commission has proposed to "remove, relocate, or contextualize" monuments and memorials to any slave-tainted patriots, including, unbelievably, the Washington Monument and the Jefferson Memorial. These Democrats are not merely nasty; they are flat nuts. We can only be grateful that we have staunch patriotic governors like Kristi Noem of South Dakota to prevent them from destroying Mt. Rushmore.
The Hate-the-South Party. Democrats nationwide have embarked on a violent and radical campaign of physically destroying any and all monuments to generals and other heroes of the Confederacy -- monuments that have stood for over 100 years. A telling illustration of malicious Democrat extremism on this issue concerns the huge bas relief sculpture of Robert E. Lee, Jefferson Davis, and Stonewall Jackson on the face of Stone Mountain, near Decatur, Georgia. Stacey Abrams, an unsuccessful Democrat candidate for Governor of Georgia and later for the party's vice-presidential nomination, famously proposed to entirely obliterate or explode the Stone Mountain Monument. The Democrats' fanatical campaign to obliterate all monuments to Confederate heroes, including genuinely great Americans like Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson, is a malicious insult to millions of traditional Southerners.
The Trans-Sexuals over Girls Party. The Democrat-Left's obsession with accommodating the prerogatives of the minuscule cohort of trans-sexual Americans has placed them in conflict with the indisputable right of ordinary young girls to be free from the intrusion of biological males into the girls' most private spaces, like restrooms and locker rooms. Not to mention the females-only sports competitions that have been the delight of both participants and fans throughout the country. In both legislation and litigation, Democrats have sided with the "right" of biological males who claim to be transexual to adopt the gender of their choice and to act accordingly. In short, the Democrats have actively supported the right of hairy and muscular biological males to intrude on the privacy and modesty of young girls in their changing rooms, showers, and bathrooms. And they endorse the right of ripped biological males to compete with genuine girls in female sports competition under the guise of so-called trans-gender equality. This is the actual position of Democrats as proposed in proposed federal legislation. What motivates this indecent and twisted policy position defies rational understanding.
The Illegal Aliens Come First Party. Again and again, the leaders and supporters of the Democrat Party have made it clear that they favor the interests and claims of illegal aliens over those of law-abiding American citizens. Perhaps the most stunning example and proof of this point came when every candidate in the Democrat presidential debate firmly raised their hand in the affirmative when asked to indicate whether or not they supported government-funded health care for illegal aliens. Even more appalling is the Democrats' widespread support for the creation of so-called "sanctuary cities," and even sanctuary states, wherein city and state law enforcement agencies not only refuse to cooperate with federal immigration agencies in apprehending criminal illegal aliens, but sometimes actively assist the illegal aliens in escaping the federal authorities.
The No Self-Defense/No Gun Rights Party. A recent episode in Missouri perfectly illustrates the Democratic party's determination to deprive law-abiding Americans of their right to defend their very homes from attack with firearms guaranteed by the Second Amendment. When a rabid mob of BLM/Antifa-style "protesters" trespassed on their property and threatened them in their home, Mark and Patricia McCloskey bravely confronted the mob with their firearms in a classic and admirable exercise of the Castle Doctrine of legitimate armed self-defense. But rather than prosecuting the mob for its violent criminal activity and threatening trespass, George Soros-backed and financed Democrat Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner actually charged the embattled homeowners with felony use of a weapon! Although Missouri's Republican Attorney General and Governor have both assured that they will protect the McCloskeys from this outrageous partisan prosecution, many states lack any such Republican check against the Democrats' all-out assault on Americans' fundamental right of self-defense, including armed self-defense. If the Democrats prevail in the forthcoming elections, those rights will be decimated and people like the McCloskeys will be hapless in the face of mob assaults from the Left.
The Foul-mouthed Party. The 2020 Democrats are not only deranged in their policies and programs, but they are utterly lacking in basic class and common decency. This is keenly demonstrated by the propensity of Democrat officials, leaders, and media allies to constantly spew out verbal obscenities in public speech, most notably the so-called "f-word." Although leaders of both parties have resorted to crude language in the past, it has generally been confined to private conversations. But leading democrats like Beto O'Rourke, Kirsten Gillibrand and media degenerate Bill Maher, among many other leftists, routinely resort to gross and scatological language in their public discourse, with no regard to the age or sensibilities of listeners. While this is among the least of the Democrats' innumerable political and moral offenses, it is perfectly illustrative of this nasty party's inherent lack of civility and decency.
