Going into election 2024 we need to understand today's political parties

They are not what they once were

There has been a seismic evolution in the political parties over the past sixteen years. Not just the Democrat Party, but the Republican Party as well. In fact it is fair to say that the new Democrat party is a direct reflection of Barack Hussain Obama, as the new Republican party is one of Donald J. Trump; albeit still in transition. The major difference between the two is that Democrats are more cohesive in their direction than are Republicans.

The Democrats

Let's start with the Democrats. In 2007, just prior to Barack Obama becoming the first black president, he made a portentous statement that was largely ignored by everyone. He simply said, “We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.”

It was during a campaign rally in Columbia, Missouri, on Oct. 30, 2008, and his exact words were: "Now, Mizzou, (sic) I just have two words for you tonight: five days. Five days. After decades of broken politics in Washington, and eight years of failed policies from George W. Bush, and 21 months of a campaign that's taken us from the rocky coast of Maine to the sunshine of California, we are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America."

No one questioned such a brash statement, mostly out of fear of his answer. Almost everyone in the legacy media was in the bag for him. After all, he was going to be our first black president and nobody wanted to sound like a racist. Yet it should have been questioned immediately. Because he wasn't suggesting gradual changes, rather vast changes to our entire political system. The lack of curiosity on the part of the media was a harbinger of things to come.

Nonetheless, once in office, he implemented the most radical transformation of power ever seen in our executive branch. Andrew Jackson would have loved to have done the very same thing, but was stopped by the Legislative branch and spotlighted by actual journalists who deserved to be called the fourth estate. Obama did everything in violation of our Constitution, from spying on private citizens, especially his political opponents, like Donald Trump, and Mitt Romney; to purging the military of every general who did not kiss his ring.

And that was just the beginning. He proceeded to send middle-class jobs to China, then change business regulations which forced small business to close, or drastically change operations by laying off many of their employees, or going bankrupt, shutting them down completely. His policies completely destroyed our economy.

This had a horrific effect on the middle-class working American. In fact it all but wiped them out. Which was his plan. Look at any communist takeover of a nation and the very first thing done is to wipe out the middle-class. A look at Venezuela tells the tale Obama was simply following the communist template originated by Vladimir Lenin.

At the same time he rewarded big business and unions who bent to his particular political proclivities. It created an income inequality that hasn't been seen in America since the Great Depression. All of a sudden, big business was in Democrat's pocket, where it was once in Republicans.

It was not done due to Obama's stupidity, rather as a deliberate move in his transformation of America. His intent was clear, he wanted to transform the liberal democratic republic into a hard core radical left socialist/Marxists nation. Big business went along for the ride not understanding the implications of his moves, rather to ride his shirt tails to massive wealth; until the day he pulled it all away from them in typical Marxists fashion. Had Clinton won in 2016, she, the Alinski loving communist she was, would have completed the transformation.

Along the way, to expedite the transformation, Obama divided Americans into tribes. The old saying, "United we stand, divided we fall," was true. By further dividing Americans by sex, race, sexual preference, income, and politics, he split us into factions fighting against each other for the scrapes he doled out to each, remember free cells phones? Rather than focusing on his destruction of America, we fought amongst ourselves. It was all done to transform America.

Throughout his tenure he built the Democrat Party into a cohesive organization directed at one single goal, that of transforming America into socialism. It left no room for any dissent. Those who were not true believers were demoted, relieved of their positions, or ousted. It created a new and completely different dynamic within the Democrat party.

Today's Democrat party is completely different than it was before Obama. It is the party that Obama created, not all by himself, after all he is not smart enough to do so. He needs others with intellectual abilities to carry it out. They directed him, and still do; including his stooge, Joe Biden.

The Republicans

Republicans, too, have undergone a change. Not quite as singular as the Democrats who accept no dissent, rather a strong shift toward working-class and multi ethnic Americans, while not being so centered on big business. While Republicans offer the better choice for business to profit, big, middle and small business, due to less regulation, they have lost those who have fallen into the spectrum of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). Also they are loosing the military/ industrial complex to the dark side.

And due to Democrats control of congress, and especially the deep state, those businesses that work with government profit hugely if they obey the DEI dictates. Just look at the earmarks in the 2024 budget. However, not all Republicans support small business and the middle-class. Look at Paul Ryan and his leadership when Speaker of the House, he supported large business to the detriment of small business and the middle-class.

There is a decidedly large rift between neo-cons and conservatives in the Republican party. Neo-cons are more liberal, and warlike simultaneously. Wars, you see, earn huge amounts of money for big business. And wars are big business. So neo-cons are drawn to war as a flying insect is to flames. Of course as Democrats have shifted, they, too, are drawn to wars because they are the new home for big business. That puts Republican neo-cons and Democrats on the same path. It is why they are now called RINOs (Republican in name only,) due to the similarities.

Make no mistake, neo-cons are very much Republicans. In fact, they rose to power under Ronald Reagan, and under George W. Bush finally took control of the party from the Country Club Republicans. Today that same fight is taking place between neo-cons, led by the likes of Mitch McConnell, and conservatives under the tutelage of Donald J. Trump.

Trump is first and foremost a businessman. In fact he is a small businessman who made billions being one. It is why he appeals to the working class, because he made his money working with them. And still does. Trump understands the needs of working class Americans and tailors his politics toward them. And they do not want wars to interfere with business. Only big business profits from war, everyone else suffers from them.

Trump understands this and worked his entire presidency to avoid one. He also knows that being weak is not the way to avoid war, so he projected strength in order not to use it. This business sense is his true strength and why so many Republicans are never Trumpers. They want wars.

This is the big divide in the Republican Party today. In the end the Republican party will either acquiesce to the new Republicans joining their ranks, many being working class, of all sexes, races and politics, or the party will flounder and fade away as this new coalition turns into a new and very powerful party.

The thing is, coming into election 2024, your choice is accept the new Democrat party and be assured of a war, and a shift to socialism/Marxism, or the still in-fighting Republican party who just might keep us out of a war, and bring back the middle-class to its former glory, as Trump did as the 45th president.

The choice is yours!
