    When I was young and stupid, I was a democrat (I thought). Then I discovered what the base of the democratic party stood for. The Democratic Party defended slavery, started the Civil War, opposed Reconstruction,
    founded the Ku Klux Klan, imposed segregation, perpetrated lynchings, and fought against
    the civil rights acts of the 1950s and 1960s. Shortly after the civil rights acts of the 60's Biden became a senator. His mentor was Robert Byrd former leader of the KKK. So when Biden says that white supremacy is the biggest threat to America. What he's saying to your face is that he himself is the biggest threat to America!

      Yes this is true but it’s even MORE simple than that. I remember specifically hearing Joe Biden during a state of the union speech specifically station “The Days Of America First Are Over!” What kind of psychotic president openly admits that he’s NOT going to put the country that he’s in charge of First?!?!?

    This isn't new understandings. We have been living in a Banana Republic for a long time now. Our leadership argue over old knowledge with little or no formal understanding of how to address the issues in front of them relative to the time they have spent in theater as legislators. This is what gross incompetence looks like at a whole branch level. We should all be concerned for our future.

    I consider myself a leftie, but I left the un-Democratic Party over two years ago, as to me that party has abandoned its leftist principles entirely and gone completely banana republic. And voices like mine were censored during the pandemic, because I disagreed with vaccine mandates and such. So it wasn't just voices on the right that were getting censored.

    • @martinhughes2637
      @martinhughes2637 Před 6 dny

      @etm567, I think there is a stark distinction between classical liberalism and what we see today on the Left. “Leftists” are the polar opposite of liberals. A “liberal” - a classic liberal - believes in liberty, in intellectual honesty, in freedom of thought and expression. “Leftism”, on the other hand, is a new religion, rather than a political philosophy. Its tenants do not allow for personal liberty or freedom of thought or expression. Anyone deviating from Leftist dogma is excommunicated and persecuted. And Leftists have taken over the Democrat party.

      Hillary using campaign funds to pay for the Russia collusion hoax isn't true? (If you do research you can find the truth and find out that she paid a fine for misuse of campaign funds.) The hunter laptop was a real thing, the FBI just admitted that, in his gun trial, yet it was pushed as "Russian disinformation" because democrats didn't want the truth out at election time. (Is that not true either?) Which was election interference and does impede on our right to a free press. They are trying to put their political opponent in jail on an election year. They could've brought charges years ago, but nobody wanted to prosecute until this year. 🤔 The "number 3 official in the biden DOJ justice department" was in fact working with Bragg to indict Trump, this election year. They did try to get Trump off the ballot. So, what exactly is not true? Do you watch independent media? Do independent research?
