#1 They just notice that?

When the ~~Democrats~~ Marxists couldn't make headway on class they switched to race to divide and conquer.

#2 Why do you think they're all-in on election cheating?

When you can't win, cheat.

They utterly despise us, the American people. Hate our guts. They never get tired of telling us.

#3 Remember the 'Rainbow Coalition' started back in the wreckage of McGovern's 72 Presidential Run?
IN: 'People of Color', Coastal Elites, Academics, Government Workers and Ecological Fanatics (dare we also add Reds and Pinks of all stripes?)
OUT: White Southerners, White Midwesterners, Industrial Union Workers ('If you don't get a degree you are a subhuman wretch' plus "How can you work on an assembly line in that foul, Gaea™ despoiling hellhole that harms the property value of my nearby condo?") and Middle Class Small-business owners ("Death to the bourgeoisie!).

It took several generations to fully manifest but the signs were already there in 1976 if you looked hard enough...

#4 It really came into full view with the '68 Dim convention in Chicago.

#5 AA, you may be right. But, I first noticed a vast gulf between Dem and Pubs. I was a “marksman” from 1st Bde 82nd Abn up on the rooves of the buildings; the only one. Ostensibly counter-snipers. The others were from Marines, Secret Service, and FBI HR teams. Under our brightly colored beach umbrellas. On the rooves.

When certain politicians greeted us before the start of our day and their first day, happened twice, all of the Dems and maybe 40% of the Pubs could barely conceal their sneers of disgust. 1972.

Hated all politicians since.

#6 Okay, maybe 30-40%.

#7 And the demonstrators; it was an ‘oh please, oh please, oh please” situation.

#8 That's a known, has been for some time. The questiobn is, who have the Dems moved to? My view is that they are now the party of the uber rich and their servents recently imported across the southern border... as well as any and all hostile foreign gummints.

#9 The Working Class should be so lucky; they just got tapped to pay for the schooling of The Academic Class.

#10 My late father was a lifelong democrat. (Don't know how long after he passed that he continued to vote.)
I wish he were alive for many reasons, but one thing I would like talk to him about is how the Democratic party has changed over the years. Dad was one of the best Catholics I ever knew. I would like to ask him is how he feels about the Democrats' full throated support for abortion.

#11 People who were indoctrinated from an early age to be a democrat, a communist, yes, even a Republican, can have a hard time overcoming that, regardless of the evidence right before their eyes. When I was a reporter in the Mon Valley area, there were more pictures of Roosevelt and Kennedy than of Jesus in those union steelworker homes I visited while working my beat. And that was when most of the mills had not only been shut down but were being torn down.

#12 and their servents recently imported across the southern border...

You misspelled slaves. The democrats may promise a 'path to citizenship' all they want - but they will never actually deliver. They love having their slaves too much - and this is what illegals are to them - a slave class entirely dependant on their good will.
