Democrat Leadership is Sinister, Not Misguided

The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com.

Even the least informed among Republicans should have gained valuable insights from the Schumer Shutdown. Impeding so many functions of government for 40+ days served a purpose for Democrats. It didn't matter how many Americans were suffering or what kinds of delays and hardships citizens were encountering. That some people wouldn't be able to pay their bills or eat full meals was of little concern.

Holding Out on Cue

Those crafty Democrats, ever plotting and planning for ways to take political control and to wield absolute power, had sought all along to hold out until the November 4, 2025, elections.

With the rock-solid support of the fakestream propaganda machine, they knew they’d be able to usher in a distinct, if limited, number of new governors, attorneys general, mayors, and other elected officials across the country. Obviously, the few elections were small in number compared to the forthcoming midterms and to the 2028 national election.

It behooves everyone on the Right, nonetheless, to understand that Democrat leadership is not weak-willed or moronic. They are unrelenting in their fervor. In each and every instance where they can muster any leverage, no matter how many of their own constituents it hurts, they seek to take political power. They aim to dominate in election after election, and ultimately, to bring down the country. Legions of them are a part of the movement.

Part of Plan

As we've witnessed, they grow more brazen with the passage of time. Their quest to destroy America was once a closely guarded secret. Now, the quiet part is often said out loud. Behaviors that seem shocking to the Right are merely aspects of the Left’s overall plan.

For too long, the Right has pretended or been fooled into thinking that the outliers among Democratic leaders did not represent the base. We believed that people who spoke and acted in a radical manner, which would have made Democrats of yesteryear shudder, were somehow anomalies. They are not.

When you hear AOC and her childish blather, Jasmine Crockett and her constant idiotic harangue, Hakeem Jeffries and his idle threats, and now Zohran Mamdani and Katie Wilson, it's vital to understand that these zealots are on a mission and will not be dissuaded from it.

That Was Then, This is Now

A few decades ago, one could argue that Republicans and Democrats had reasonably similar goals for the strength and vitality of our nation, but differed in approaches. Today, that is simply not the case. Many, if not most, on the Left, including many moderates, unknowingly brainwashed from birth, have concluded that American culture is not worthy of being maintained. They believe that we are inherently evil, the U.S. Constitution must be scrapped, and everything must be restarted from scratch under Democrat rule, ultimately yielding to one-world rule

Their preferences for implementing no-cash bail, defunding the police, squeezing the middle class, weakening the military, over-printing money, and so much more all have one essential objective: to weaken us on every dimension.

The full measure of the Left’s sinister intent is not widely comprehended by the American populace and, of course, is never accurately portrayed by the fakestream media. Then, once arriving at a certain level of equilibrium, they will charge forward. As a prime example, with Mamdani being elected in New York, the next day, his tenor changes, his statements become bolder, and his true intent emerges.

In the Oval Office, he makes nice with President Trump for one day, all for show. Soon enough, voters will come to realize they were duped by him. All around us, the same scenario plays out repeatedly, primarily on the East and Left (West) coast.

Powerful Propaganda

As disastrous as their programs, policies, and results prove to be, because the fakestream media is totally committed to Leftist causes, every story is spun accordingly. Whether it is inflation, immigration, blue city crime, etc., Democrat viewpoints will be bankrolled and propped up for years, even as the fakestream media dies a slow death.

Despite the acceleration of alternative news sources that strive for some measure of objectivity, the fakestream media could hang on well past Donald Trump's second term. Even with Republican presidents for 12 years, Democrats still will be in a prime position to spread their poison. The hoaxes will not dissipate. The bogus stories will continue on. Voter fraud and election tampering might still not be resolved despite President Trump’s sterling efforts.

Leftists have successfully hoodwinked tens of millions of voters, voters who have been thoroughly programmed to pledge their allegiance to false authorities. Their numbers and efficacy cannot be denied. The danger that the Founding Fathers feared most – the enemy from within – is here.

A Decades-Long Battle

We will attain victories sporadically. Like "whack-a-mole," as soon as we deal with one Leftist promulgated hoax or crisis, another and another and another will arise. We are facing a decades-long battle. Like Moses, we will not be around to experience the promise land.
