The Democrat’s Recipe, born out of Hatred and Marxist Ideology, for Civilizational Suicide

I say again, the era of big government is over.  … [And] there are some areas that the federal government … should address strongly. One of these is illegal immigration. After years of neglect, this administration has taken a strong stand to protect our borders.  … We are increasing inspections to prevent the hiring of illegal immigrants. And tonight, I announce I will sign an executive order to deny federal contracts to businesses that hire illegal immigrants.  … [W]e are a nation of laws.

            President Bill Clinton, State of the Union Address, 1996

The American people are a welcoming and generous people. But those who enter our country illegally, and those who employ them, disrespect the rule of law.  And because we live in an age where terrorists are challenging our borders, we simply cannot allow people to pour into the US undetected, undocumented, and unchecked. Americans are right to demand better border security and better enforcement of the immigration laws.  … [T]he agencies charged with border security would receive new technology, new facilities, and more people to stop, process, and deport illegal immigrants [all emphasis added].

Illinois Senator Barak Obama, 4/3/06

I’m where Democrats were in the 1990’s [but] the Democrat Party has shifted radically left. … I think [this] signal[s] the end of the Democrat Party as we know it.  [Their] leaders are weak not to call out Mandani’s antisemitism and communism. … At a time when we need profiles in courage, [Democrat] “leaders” are bowing to the flying monkeys of the online hard left.  [They] got [trounced] in the last election because they didn’t have an economic program to speak of.   They were trying to usher in a cultural revolution … on race and gender … that nobody wanted … [R]ather than confront the forces that have led [them] into the wilderness, [they] are bowing to [them].  So, you get socialism which is basically giving free stuff to the downwardly mobile podcast class.  Mandani not only says anti-Semitic things but has in my view celebrated a terrorist movement.  [T]his is true of many Democrats like AOC who has embraced the Columbia University Apartheid Divest, which … has called for the destruction of the West … I cannot believe people think you have a good ending when you talk about converting the most successful economy, the free market in the United States has lifted billions of people out of poverty than any system ever.   [They] understand everything through the very simplistic [Marxist] victim-victimizer oppressor-oppressed ideology … That eventually turns into nihilism and leads to “deconstructionism”, to tear things down.  This is the communist and socialist recipe for civilizational suicide.  [Democrats need to] build a Party out of the political center, … [but are] incapable of doing because [they have] been captured by the “identity Left.”  [Meanwhile,] Trump has [occupied] the political center where Bill Clinton was in the mid-1990’s … on questions of race, trade or energy or supporting Israel against the NAZI Jihadists. 

Julian Epstein (J.D. Stanford), Liberal Democrat Strategist, former Chief Counsel Democrat House Judiciary Committee, 10/26/25

I congratulate [President Trump] on this historic peace plan that releases all the hostages.  Now, enduring peace in the region is possible. Our parties are different, but we have a shared ironclad commitment to Israel and its people. … You don’t ever compare anyone to Hitler.  [Trump] is not an autocrat.  [He] is a product of a democratic election. … We can’t just be, ‘Trump is always wrong!’  A lot of Americans happen to disagree with you. That does not mean that they are fascists, or that they want to shred the Constitution.”

Democrat Senator John Fetterman (PA), 10/9/25

At a 2017 event, we asked George Stephanopoulos, in the context of the 2016 election that Donald Trump won, “Does the Democratic Party understand how angry people are? How do they plan on addressing that?” His dismissive response: “One-third of the country is always going to hate us, there’s nothing we can do about that.”  Jake Sullivan, who was in conversation with Stephanopoulos, largely agreed. This sentiment echoes the disdain Hillary Clinton showed in 2016 when she said “you could put half of Trump’s supporters into the basket of deplorables.”  … No wonder Democratic voters are frustrated and apathetic. If Biden and Democratic leaders truly cared about the Democratic Party and not only their own power and careers, they would involve voters as much as possible [instead of shutting them out].

                        Hillary and Greg Stockton, The Hill, 7/8/24

As a lifelong Democrat, I no longer recognize my Party. We once stood for something other than winning the next election or hating others.  I don’t know how we got to this point as the Democrat Party.  This is a Party that is now actively supporting censorship and blacklisting.  It has supported ballot cleansing and court packing.  It’s a Party where you’ve got people like Senator McCaskill calling witnesses “Putin lovers” because [they criticize] the Biden administration.   You have Democrat Party members saying that you are a Russian fellow traveller if you raise questions [about] Biden corruption … What have [Democrats] become?  What do we stand for? It is unrecognizable for many of us who have been lifelong Democrats.  We used to stand for something and it appears [that now] it’s just about the next election or its about hating Trump more than loving other values like free speech. … The Democrat Party used to treat free speech as one of [its] defining values.  [It’s] is now an anti-free speech Party.  It is [now] actively pursuing censorship, blacklisting, funding groups to go after even the revenues of sites that they don’t like on the Right.

                        “Liberal” GWU Law Professor Jonathan Turley, 3/22/24

One of the storylines the Democrat Party, with the essential support of the Democrat Party Propaganda Collective (aka the “mainstream” or “legacy” media), has dreamed up to keep themselves in money, power, sanctimony and cheap maids, landscapers and “masseuses” from south of the border, is that Donald Trump is a dangerous far-right extremist.  This is the opposite of the truth.  Trump only looks far Right to the Democrats because they have moved so far left that they literally, blinded by hate, literally can’t see straight anymore.  As longtime Democrat Julian Epstein points out, Trump has been successful precisely because he has claimed the political center away for the leftist fanatic Democrats.  Like Bill Clinton in the mid-1990’s, Trump simply chose the winning side of every 80-20 issue.  It’s not complicated.

Harris and the Democrats took a shellacking in the 2024 election because they are still trying to try to force “a cultural revolution … on race and gender” and socialism or communism that “nobody wants” down the throats of the American people.  Newsflash for Democrats and their media lackeys:  Americans don’t want to commit “civilization suicide”.  If Democrats actually believed in democracy, they would immediately return to the centrist policies Americans want.  Unfortunately, impressed by what they memorized in Sociology 101 or Marxism 303, they are far too full of themselves to lower themselves to the level of “the great unwashed masses” who can’t afford a $20,000+ ice cream freezer and who, because they are made of better and sturdier stuff, don’t want one, that actually built and sustain the country.
