There are two major political factions in America. Yes, there are independents, but those are just people afraid of commitment or ignorant of the issues. Years ago, when the parties were philosophically closer, you could ride the middle and say there were beliefs on either side that you could back. Today, the divide between the two major parties is so vast that to say you are an independent means sitting on a chair balanced on a high wire stretched across the Grand Canyon. There is no middle ground. Bipartisan is a word with no meaning. Every debate or vote is decided along party lines.
There is a stark difference between the two parties, which may be the most important. Republicans value life. From conception to the grave, the Republicans want each individual to have the opportunity to maximize their life’s well-being. This is in stark contrast to the Democrats. The Democrats have no concern for life. They support abortion on demand up to the time of birth, and they also support Euthanasia. They have equal ambivalence to the beginning and end of life.
As far as the period between, they are content sitting on the sidelines as 100,000 people die of Fentanyl poisoning at the hands of the Chinese and Mexicans. They have opened the border to allow gang members, rapists, murderers, and terrorists to enter our country, roam freely, and traumatize every neighborhood in the country. The Dems want you healthy enough to get to the polls, pull the D lever, and then get back to your life. They will lie to your face, sell you a bill of goods, and have their media reinforce the story. Notice I said their media. It used to be yours, but those days are long gone. That peacock was replaced by a donkey years ago.
This is how I see it, and writing it gives me no pleasure. But I challenge any of my Left-leaning acquaintances to shoot holes in my assessment. When I was growing up, the Democrats were always considered the Party of the People, and the Republicans were all about big business and wealth. I remember my sister looking at me one day and saying that I could not be a Republican because I had no wealth. Ironically, she now lives in Florida and is a Republican. The coin has flipped.
The Republicans are the Party of the Little Guy, and the Dems have sold their soul to special interest groups, foreign countries that are still our enemies, and the Radical Left who despise America. Groups like the Blacks, Browns, and even the Reds have seen the light. They know they have been used for decades, and the promises ring hollow. They have been pawns and taken for granted. The inner-city folk are seeing the resources earmarked for them now going to illegals. Against the rulings of the Supreme Court, the President is going from state to state, promising to wipe out student debt in trade for votes. The Democrats are the Party of smoke and mirrors. The flame is going out, and the mirrors are cracking. Joe Biden and his media will not be able to convince Americans that they are better off with his policies. That dog doesn’t hunt anymore. Biden may be losing his mind, but Americans are finding theirs.
