Democrat policies for November and beyond are simple: Socialism, and impeachment
Today's Democrat party seems to have two ideas: First, they've gone full-blown socialist. It's no longer just the lunatic "progressive" fringe, but the party's leaders--Kamala Harris, Chuck Schumer, Cory Booker, Elizabeth Warren, Keith Ellison, Tom Perez, Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters and rising star Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez--rushing to embrace socialism.
The second meme driving the Dems is their goal of impeaching or fatally crippling president Trump. This is the main theme they're using to get their supporters to vote in November: "We need to retake control of congress so we can impeach him."
Dem strategists see this--correctly--as a winning strategy with their supporters, as they've convinced that group of morons that Donald Trump is Satan. And they're determined to fan the flames of hate even hotter. To do this they recently announced their intention to enlist the advice of Hollywood writers, directors, and producers to craft Tinseltown-style messaging to further demonize Trump and Republicans.
Given the four-letter tirades of Robert De Niro, the vulgar tweets of Peter Fonda, the daily broadsides by late-night "comedy" show hosts, and the rallying cries and rants of entertainment elites everywhere, the Hollywood message to conservatives and "deplorables" is clear, and can be reduced to two words: F--- you!
Democrat leaders are focusing on Trump-hate and socialism because that's all they've got. Their only vision for the future is socialism. There is no Democratic counterpart that would "Make America Great Again"--in large part because not one Democrat leader believes America was EVER great, nor moral. And because they've so demonized the notion of Americans thinking well of America, now no Democrat candidate could support American greatness even if he or she believed in it.
Democrats have always favored leftist policies, but the huge leftward jump of the Dems in the last few years is largely the legacy of Barack Obama. One of Obama's main campaign themes was that he intended to "fundamentally transform America,": "redistributing" wealth, vilifying the rich, expanding government control of America's production through executive orders and regulations; expanding the welfare state and pushing identity politics. His foreign policy--which all Dem leaders fully embrace--was to apologize to the world for America's evil, and to appease opponents.
He achieved all those things. And without a single exception, Democrat leaders support them all.
While it's likely that some Democrat voters disagree with some of these policies, that disagreement doesn't translate into loss of support, because no Democrat is willing to object publically, since they know that speaking up would get them unfriended and ostracized.
Obama succeeded in getting the Dem party to adopt his radical goals of changing America from an individual rights-based society to a left-wing, European-style social state where individual rights are subordinated to the collective good--as determined by Democrats, of course. He won election because the media carefully hid his socialist convictions from voters.
Obama knew that the fastest way to bring about that radical change was to prey on white guilt about what he consistently portrayed as America's greatest sin: racism. In speech after speech at home and abroad, in press conferences with foreign dignitaries; even speaking at the United Nations, Obama rarely missed a chance to paint America as a society awash with bigotry, injustice and discrimination.
The result was that white liberals--including all members of congress--would do anything blacks demanded. By contrast, racist acts by blacks--like knocking out random 70-year-old whites, for example--was considered by Dem leaders and the media merely a declaration of cultural pride and a legitimate response to "oppression." It became a cliche that only whites could be racists, because minorities supposedly lacked political power.
The contradiction between this core belief--that blacks lacked political power--even as the U.S. was being ruled for 8 long years by a black president--was always ignored...because it would have destroyed the faaabulous Narrative.
So where does this leave us? Well, the most recent poll showed Dems leading GOP candidates for the November elections by 12 points, so it would seem that the Dems' strategy of pushing socialism and impeaching Trump is working for 'em.
