VDH - Our French Revolution America now has three potential futures and two are bad.
2023-04-06
[American Greatness] We are in a Jacobin Revolution of the sort that in 1793-94 nearly destroyed France. And things are getting scary.

The Democratic Party vanished sometime in 2020.

It was absorbed by hard-left ideologues. They were bent on radically altering, or hijacking, existing institutions to force radical, equality-of-result agendas that otherwise do not earn majority support.

The American people want affordable power and fuel and energy autonomy. They do not want a Green New Deal that results in dependence on the Middle East.

They want fiscal sobriety, not a permanent stagflationary economy marked by bank failures, soaring interest rates, crony capitalism, and subsidies for those who choose not to work.

They know no country can exist without a border, much less while offering blank checks to foreign cartels that kill 100,000 Americans yearly.

They demand realist deterrence abroad, not the current woke military whose erosion is spelling the end American credibility and global stability.

Racialists are eerily embracing discredited Neo-Confederate notions of racial chauvinism, discrimination, segregation, and the old-one-drop rule of racial obsession. They are turning America toward a Balkanized war-of-all-against-all.

To implement such an unpopular program, the new Left must radically alter our institutions.

So the "Democrats" periodically threaten to pack the courts, end the filibuster, destroy the Electoral College, and override the states’ prerogatives to establish balloting laws.

They deny the committee assignments of the House minority leader. They engage in stunts like tearing up the State of the Union address on national television. With impunity they mob the homes of Supreme Court justices to leverage their decisions.

This revolution is run by elites and is a top-down operation.

University deans all but prompt students to disrupt invited campus speakers. District attorneys release violent arrested criminals without bail. Woke generals call their Chinese counterparts to warn them against their own commander-in-chief.

#3  No justice no peace is a straight-out threat of extortion. They decide what justice is and you will get no peace anyway.

Might as well say fuk 'em.

#2  Watching Fox News right now as the Tennessee Legislature endures the disruptions and behaviors that are the hallmark of the coming attractions the Marxists plan for this summer. No Justice, No Peace as a chant and attitude makes its return! Justice actually means what ever they want, and the chant just dresses up extortion as political rhetoric.

#1  The Democratic Party vanished sometime in 2020.

Lost me right there. It was much, much earlier than 2020. IMHO, Franklin Roosevelt was an outright communist and Lyndon Johnson followed in Roosevelt's footsteps. The best I can say about Carter is that he was more of a blithering idiot than anything else. Dunno about Clinton either but my impression is that he was more interested in his own sexual gratification than any particular ideology. But if you want to talk about today's far left, it started no later than with Baraq Obama and possibly earlier.
