Democrats' Failed Leftism

By Douglas V. Gibbs

Leftism is failing. . . again.

History is filled with the stories of the rise and fall of leftist systems.  The only system of government to truly prosper and stand the test of time has been the moral and religious system of limited government and a free economic market established by the Founding Fathers of the United States through the United States Constitution.

While the Democrats, like the socialists of the communist failures before them, rail against the wealthy, the hypocrisy is deafening.  Seven of the ten most wealthiest members of Congress are Democrats.  There is, however, a difference between socialist wealthy, and capitalist wealthy.  Nonetheless, the Democrats keep screaming about how the GOP loves the wealthy, and want tax cuts for the rich because they want to put the rich into their back pockets.  Then, the Democrats, like Kamala Harris, screams about how in the GOP tax bill there is a break for buyers of private jets, and then is confused when she finds out the original idea was by a Democrat, Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) who had two proposals to provide tax breaks to owners and operators of private jets.

While the Democrats scream about how they think the GOP is a part of the rising national debt, but looked the other way when the debt rose to astronomical numbers during the Obama years, they are also demanding Universal Health Care, but have no plan to fund it and no revenue source to pay for the system.  They also ignore the bad news about the failures of socialism and a collective world system in Europe.

While the Democrats claim to be the party of science, they have turned their back on the science of biology.  They have not only embraced the mental illness of transgenderism, but are working to expand the concept by mandating it be taught as natural and normal to our children. 

While claiming to abhor terrorism, they continually side with Islam, from which nearly all worldwide terrorism comes from . . . and then Democrats in Congress start calling for more lenient treatment for young terrorists who murder Israelis.

But, don't cross the Democrats (especially the Clintons), because if you do, you may wind up with a bullet in the head.

In California, an allegedly shining example of progressivism in action, the failures are piling up worse than ever, with corruption and mismanagement strewn throughout the Democrat Party's agenda, especially when it comes to Jerry Brown's bullet train monstrosity, of which is so over its budget, and poorly managed as a project, that one legislator is calling for an emergency audit of the high speed rail project.

And, don't forget, to the Democrats the ends justifies the means, so they will do anything to gain full power and push their agenda.  Or as Teen Vogue columnist Emily Lindin tweeted, "Sorry, if some innocent men's reputations have to take a hit in the process of undoing the patriarchy, that is a price that I am absolutely willing to pay."  She also tweeted, "Here's an unpopular opinion: I'm actually not at all concerned about innocent men losing their jobs over false sexual assault/harassment allegations."

It looks like the faminazi socialist man-haters are doing their job just fine, from Lindin's point of view.

So, how is it that these people aren't refused by the voters to ever have any semblance of power again?  How is it that anyone gives them any support?

Socialism is a powerful ideology.  People buy into the misleading propaganda, and do not understand what it really stands for.  Failures and hypocrites, but they are convincing chameleons.
