“There is no act of treachery or meanness of which a political party is not capable; for in politics there is no honour” – Benjamin Disraeli
While there is undoubtedly a Uniparty that consists of almost all Democrats at all levels of government, and a not insignificant number of Republicans, there are still stark contrasts between the two major parties. Traditionally, the Democrats were supposedly the party of the working men and women and the Republicans were purportedly the party of the country club elites, entrepreneurs, professionals and the well educated.
Historically, those stereotypes didn’t perfectly align. The Democrats were the promoters of slavery, the Ku Klux Klan, Jim Crow laws, literacy voting tests, segregation, and separate but equal schools. They were also pro union and mostly pro immigration to enhance their voting rolls in many areas. (Some things never change for Democrats.)
Republicans, on the other hand supported the abolition of slavery and the protection of freed slaves. They encouraged big business, (and government subsidies for business) and suffered through the scandals that resulted. Republicans were behind a lot of the violence when they backed big businesses which practiced union busting. While individual Democrats and Republicans sometimes took positions against their own party’s interest, there were still many differences between the two.
Today, those differences are stark. As evidenced by Congressional votes, the Democrats are much more unified than the GOP. On most of those votes the Democrats will vote as one, with no votes going to the Republican side of the aisle. The only exception is on some immigration votes when one or two Democrats from border states will cross over to the other side. A new schism seems to be showing itself recently between the extreme far leftist Dems, who are pro Palestine, and the semi moderate left Democrats, who are pro Israel. Republicans, on the other hand will have anywhere from two to twenty or more of their members voting with Democrats on many subjects that come before them.
On other issues, though, the Dems seemed united on just about everything most Americans oppose. According to polls, Gallup and others, the vast majority of our people think that the situation at our border is either a major problem or at the crisis level. Yet for years, almost all of the Democrats and a few milquetoast Republicans voted down any attempt to do anything about it. Democrats try to push amnesty for illegal aliens, and create sanctuary cities and states. Now that their policies are causing these cities and states major financial and logistical problems, the local and state Democrat leaders are complaining, but rarely criticize President Biden or Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkos , whose policies cause the problems.
On gender problems, the Democrats have gone crazier than outhouse rats. They want to sexualize school subjects all the way down to preschool. You have to give the devil his due, though. The wordsmiths in their party have mastered the art of spin rhetoric. When parents want to get pornographic comic books and age inappropriate books out of public school libraries, the Democrat politicians and their followers call them “book banners” or “book burners”.
When Republican conservatives balked at the supposed health experts contradictory statements about wearing masks to combat COVID 19 or that the vaccine would stop the spread of the virus, the Democrats called them “science deniers”. The real science now shows that the masks had no effect on the spread of the virus and had so many negative results on the health of people, especially children. The vaccinations had no effect on the spread of the virus, yet the left and the Democrats seemed to have doubled down and keep pushing more new vaccinations that don’t prevent the spread of the many variants of the virus.
As with climate change and all of the virus scare tactics, the Dems keep harping on the science, even though the climate data is based on computer models and not established science. But they never mention “science” when they are alluding to biological men competing in women sports. That is because the science shows that women have two x chromosomes and men have an x and a y chromosome. No matter what is done chemically, hormonally or surgically to a man, he will still have the y chromosome that no woman has. So science is only important to Democrats if they can use or spin the data to their point of view.
If lifelong Democrats would look at every controversial issue from drag queen story hours for kindergartners to electric car mandates, the majority of them would no doubt decide that the Democrat Party does not represent their personal points of view. Hopefully, logic would demand that they abandon such a party.

The puppet master is Barrack Hussein Obama with help from his “inner circle” of socialist-Marxist passing on to us their destruction of the American culture and our constitutional republic. Not all that much is known about Mr. Obama but Mr. Bill Aires of Chicago who is known to be a Marxist from a wealthy connected family supported Barrack and met frequently in the Aires home as the “community organizer” was groomed for the U S Senate and president by Politically powerful people.
The illegal immigration issue as I recall the effort of President Eisenhower in 1957 launched “operation wetback” to remove illegals from mainly border states . The INS agents scoured businesses checking SS numbers and deporting them. Many more self-deported knowing what was about to happen to them. Eisenhower was threatened with a loss of Republican support from the business owners who welcomed the low cost labor.
Both parties in Washington exist on the large donations of those seeking power through controlling the leavers of power in Washington. Stop the need of Billions for political campaigns and maybe we could elect people to work for “We the People”.
