AOC: New Leader of the Democrat Party?

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

The Democrat Party has never been a great political party. Some of them try to claim their roots are in Thomas Jefferson, but Jefferson and today’s Democrats have virtually nothing in common. Jefferson believed in limited government, and he understood that freedom has moral restraints based on the laws of God and that humans have a personal responsibility to be virtuous and industrious. The Democrat Party of today teaches none of that. So, don’t blame the Democrat Party on Thomas Jefferson.

The Democrat Party is the party of slavery, of secession, of Jim Crow, of creating a dependent welfare state which encourages countless Americans to be slothful, promiscuous, and unaccountable. The Democrats are the party of abortion (death), child mutilation (abuse), and moral decline (licentiousness and perversion). They have opened America’s doors to the world, and call that a “nation.” They allow barbarians to run amok on American streets, turning them loose to prey upon decent, innocent citizens. In even its so-called greatest victory, the Civil Rights movement, a higher percentage of Republicans in Congress voted for the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act than Democrats. Yet, the Democrats have propagandized their way to where 90 percent of black voters routinely vote Democrat. The main source of Democrat Party power today is keeping people dependent upon government, i.e., slavery by another name. The party has gained its ascendency by oppression, promiscuity, and lying. No, it has never been a great political party.

U.S. Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14) is a perfect representative of today’s Democrat Party. She accepts every one of their far-left mantras, and is obviously making a play for the Democrat Party’s Presidential nomination in 2028. I can’t imagine she could ever get the nomination. But then again, I can’t imagine any people with America’s history, tradition, and heritage sinking to the depths of depravity as millions of people have done. A recent AtlasIntel poll has AOC at the top of the potential crowd of Democrat Presidential candidates. She received 26 percent support, while Pete Buttigieg received 22.4 percent, followed by Gavin Newsom at 21.2 percent, and Kamala Harris at 12.9 percent. Four of the most vile, immoral, godless reprobates in the country, and over 80 percent of the Democrats in this poll want one of them as their next President. Folks, pardon my understatement, but this is not good for America. It tells me volumes about what our country has become.

Again, AOC is a model embodiment of the Democrat Party. I don’t mean to be ugly, but she is incredibly stupid. She recently said, “The American Revolution was against the billionaires of their time.” This is complete, utter buffoonery. She mouths stuff like this constantly. It’s as if the woman has no capacity to think; she sets her mouth in motion while her brain remains totally inert. Alexandria, how many “billionaires” were there in 1776? Who were these billionaires? Even the King of England didn’t have that much money. And this woman is in Congress. How can a person like this get elected to any office, much less the House of Representatives? And repeatedly? How gullible are the people of her district? And now, she is being considered as a candidate for President when she doesn’t even know the basic facts of the American Revolution. No wonder she’s a Democrat. This is terrifying.

She not only exemplifies the limited intellectual capacity of countless Democrats, but she fits their immoral standards as well. She recently said, “States like Tennessee want to wipe out every Black Representative.” This is just a bald-faced lie, and she knows it. And this is gravely alarming. People who knowingly lie like this, on either side of the aisle, have no conscience whatsoever and are the most dangerous and reprehensible people on earth. This is Joseph Stalin-Mao Zedong type stuff. Say anything, do anything to gain and control political power. Democrats like AOC are masters at it. This is what the Democrat Party has become.

No great nation can be built upon a culture of murdering and mutilating its children, of promiscuity, perversion, and licentiousness, of lying and government corruption. But that is today’s Democrat Party.

Yet, what is the Republican Party doing to halt this rapid degeneration? What has the Republican Congress, with a Republican President, done since January 2025 to stop, or even slow down, this Democrat Party-led slide towards national ruin? Republicans can’t even pass a law on who is allowed to vote in our elections. Weakness in the face of evil is as harmful as the evil itself. Cowards die a thousand deaths, and Republicans have dug their own graves countless times.

The Republicans have given the Democrats abortion, same sex marriage, unconscionable budget deficits and government corruption, refusal to pass the SAVE Act, and have done very little to remove the illegals from the country. They give Democrats Congressional seats in Republican states. American education is in the toilet, big city streets are barbarian jungles, and amnesty is almost a given. What have Republicans done to end the mutilation and murder of children, to keep men out of women’s sports and bathrooms? The Democrats keep pushing their decadence and degradation, and Republicans keep hypocritically wringing their hands and protesting, but when they have a chance to act, they fail miserably. America is an utter cesspool compared to when I was a child; the Democrat Party has led it, and the Republican Party has done nothing to arrest it. Bit by bit, the Republicans trot along behind the Democrats and eventually give them everything they desire, just a little slower than the Democrats want it. Both parties’ politicians are dragging the country to ultimate oblivion.

So, AOC for President? Why not? Who’s going to stop it? And why?
