OPINION:
Drunkenness could explain why the Democratic Party continues to offer such extreme social policies. After all, being drunk makes a person vulnerable, often self-destructive and prone to making bad choices. But how did the party that once purported to expand opportunity to all get diverted into social trends? What happened to its intellectual approach, making decisions based on facts and science?
The Democratic leaders and voters have lost sight to the point of miscalculating their policies’ long-term negative effects. This is of course nothing new, since they have traditionally taken their voter base for granted. So what is the end game for them?
Is this the new party ideology that disregards existing laws in order to advance social narratives that disrupt education, science, medicine, the courts, religious beliefs and more? They are manipulating social and racial politics to create more confusion and division, and eroding public confidence in the process.
Urban areas are suffuse with crime to the point of economic collapse. Residents are fleeing from the escalated violence. Damage to our youth’s mental and physical health is at an irreversible point. It could be the “hangover” that got us here, but it’s willful blindness to refuse to see the negative impacts of the left’s agenda pushing. This agenda makes us vulnerable to foreign adversaries
Nikita Khrushchev expressed interest in influencing American values in a 1956 speech in Poland when he said, “We can assist their elected leaders with small doses of socialism.” If the Democratic Party doesn’t sober up fast and realize the damage it’s doing, our country’s self-destruction will reach a breaking point, allowing Khrushchev’s wish to come true.
