Democrat Racism Is Evil
For many years, it was common for pundits to remark, "The difference between Republicans and Democrats is that Republicans think Democrats are wrong and misguided, while Democrats believe that Republicans are evil." This didn't particularly bother Republicans because they saw the Democrats' charge as an absurd point of view, not to be taken too seriously. After all, most Republicans believe in limiting the powers of government, a colorblind society that rewards hard work and merit, and traditional Judeo-Christian morality as the bedrock for guiding personal behavior. They know that communism is evil, fought it during the Cold War, and fight it still today. They know that the content of someone's character really is more important than the color of his skin. They know that sin is not something to be rewarded, but rather to be discouraged. They know, in other words, that because all humans are naturally corruptible, their faith should be placed not in man alone, but rather in the wisdom of a higher power.
So when Democrats accused people who believe in the unremitting "battle between good and evil" of actually being evil, themselves, the insult seemed preposterous enough to be ignored. Republicans laughed it off as evidence that Democrats take politics too seriously and that too often, the most serious Democrats are too young to have gained that wisdom available only through hard experience. Give them time, and they'll come to their senses, as most do.
In hindsight, it is clear that being called "evil" by Democrats was not a harmless aspersion unworthy of response. That attack allowed them to ground hideously bad ideas in the language of morality while demonizing moral people as immoral for not complying with their new leftist religion. If you believe that the ancient tradition of honoring the marriage between a man and a woman should be defended, then you are denounced as somehow being afraid of gays. If you believe that race-based affirmative action policies make it impossible to build a colorblind society, then you are inexplicably called racist for choosing to ignore race. If you argue that it makes no sense to destroy human industry under the guise of trying to "fix the climate," you are lumped in with the anti-Jewish Holocaust deniers as somehow denying science. Republicans who work hard to keep hate from their hearts have nonetheless been whipped with public lies that they are prejudicial and ignorant human beings. And in the wake of this propaganda offensive, as Republicans have endured the lies leveled against them, evil has shamefully gained a foothold around us once again.
After huge Republican wins in Virginia's statewide elections on Tuesday, the media disinformation specialists (who are, by and large, the only ones allowed to have big voices on corporate television's and social media's filtered news) immediately, and to no Republican's surprise, blamed the Democrats' election collapse not on the Democrats' authoritarian policies or their attacks upon parents' rights, but rather on the implacability of white racism. Up and down the media landscape, pundits pushed "white supremacy," a term that Democrats have only recently unleashed upon the national consciousness because overt acts of actual racial hatred by whites have become increasingly difficult to find, as the engine driving Virginia Republicans to the polls. Atlantic writer Jemele Hill declared, "This country simply loves white supremacy." The front page of MSNBC's website lied, "Glenn Youngkin's victory proves white ignorance is a powerful weapon." ABC legal analyst Sunny Hostin argued that Republicans' victories in Virginia somehow prove that white women "want to pretend" slavery never happened.
It did not matter that Republicans had just elected a native Jamaican and naturalized U.S. citizen, Winsome Sears, as lieutenant governor. It did not matter that Republicans had just elected an American of Cuban descent, Jason Miyares, as the state's attorney general. In the twisted minds of those who spew hate for a living, white Republicans voting for Republicans of a different race or ethnicity only proves that those non-pearly-white candidates for office are merely marionettes controlled by white masters pulling their strings from above. With malevolence and deceit, news pundits fill the airwaves with accusations that Lieutenant Governor–Elect Sears and Attorney General–Elect Miyares have no agency of their own and that all of their white voters are secret racists camouflaging their racism behind the skin color of the candidates they choose to run. And non-white voters who choose to vote Republican are ignored completely.
"I'm destroying all the narratives about race," Sears said proudly after her victory, and the American media immediately ignored her meaning. Only in a society that has allowed Democrats (the party of slavery) to falsely accuse Republicans (the party of abolition) of racism for decades without a proper public backlash could television pundits who are paid handsomely for their purported political acumen stand before the world and declare Republicans racist for voting against white Clinton crony Terry McAuliffe, even after he proudly accepted the endorsement of the sitting Virginia Democrat governor, who nearly got run out of office for a yearbook photo showing him either in blackface or dressed in a Ku Klux Klan robe. Only in a country whose chattering class has decided that white males alone could possibly object to the Democrats' Marxist socialism is it possible for an old, decrepit, senile, and corrupt pasty-white Joe Biden to declare that resistance to his stolen election and radically communist agenda is driven by "white rage" and "white fragility." Only in a political environment where too many Republican leaders from the past have had too little to say in response to high-ranking Democrats' repeated lies that white Americans are inherently racist could politicians get away with regularly dividing Americans each day by outrageously framing every police stop, quarterback hire, or neighborhood subdivision as proof that racism is worse today than before the Civil War.
Unity brings peace. Social conflict brings opportunity for politicians and talking heads. It's not hard to understand why so many government officials and pundits choose the latter, but that doesn't make their actions any less evil. And it is way past time to call out correctly those who use false allegations of racism to obtain power and exert political leverage as perpetuating the worst kind of evil.
Is re-segregating society based upon race not evil? Is teaching white children that they should be ashamed of the color of their skin not evil? Is teaching non-white children that they are permanent victims not evil? Is treating every black or Hispanic Republican as being unknowingly brainwashed by "white supremacy" not evil? Is siccing the FBI on parents for objecting to public schools indoctrinating their children with the precepts of cultural Marxism not evil? Furthermore, hasn't the thirty-plus-year campaign to punish the brilliant black conservative Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas for his beliefs by perpetuating the lie that he is a rapist been driven not only by pure evil, but also by the scourge of plantation-mentality racism itself?
The Democrat party and its enablers are obsessed with race. They use the color of people's skin to divide and bully Americans every day. They insist that anyone who objects to their divide-and-conquer Marxism is unworthy of respect. They bear false witness by calling white Republicans racists and non-white Republicans rubes. In this one instance, CNN's Van Jones gets something right: Democrats are "annoying," "offensive," and "out of touch." It is equally true that what they say and stand for today is unquestionably wicked.

The significance of the Democratic Party debacle on November 2
The comprehensive defeat of the Democratic Party in Tuesday’s off-year election marks a political watershed. The election of a Republican governor in Virginia, the first statewide Republican victory there in a dozen years, came despite a massive commitment of Democratic Party resources, including appearances by President Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, former president Barack Obama, and many other national party figures.
Democrat Voters are Among the Most Gullible People on Earth
The primary reason the United States finds itself in its current predicament is the vast number of credulous and miseducated Americans who, over the past two decades, have blindly pledged their undying allegiance to the current iteration of the Democrat party. They do so because they have been willingly duped into believing that the political opposition, conservatives, and Republicans, are the personification of evil who are hellbent on transforming the nation into a dystopian nightmare.
The philosophical underpinnings of the Democrat party or the falsehoods its elected members regurgitate are immaterial to their voters, as long as this dire threat, as personified by Donald Trump in 2020, is vanquished by any and all means possible, including unconstrained voter fraud and manipulation.
It was this mindset that foisted upon the nation a senescent Joe Biden in the White House and left-wing ideologues in Congress.
The landscape of America today is littered with innumerable crises that, taken together, have the potential to permanently marginalize and transform the country. Nearly all the current fiascos are deliberately and openly being fomented by the American left and its wholly-owned subsidiary the Democrat party, secure in the knowledge that once the nation is permanently set on the track of a one-party fascist oligarchy there is no turning back.
Yes, a fascist oligarchy. While mindlessly voting for Democrat candidates, the bulk of these easily exploitable voters do not comprehend that the philosophical underpinning of the American left, and thus the Democrat party, is a proprietary strain of fascism with its roots in Marxism.
Fascism is socialism/Marxism with a veneer of capitalism. Whereas pure communism advocates the abolishment of all market relations outright, fascism leaves the appearance of market relations while planning all economic activities with favored state-sanctioned unions and corporations. Whereas communism essentially abolishes money and prices, fascism controls the monetary system and for all intents and purposes sets prices and wages politically.
Under fascism, the state, through official agencies, controls all aspects of manufacturing, commerce, finance, and agriculture, even though ownership remains in private hands. For all practical purposes, near-universal government licensing exists, as essentially no economic activity can be undertaken without de facto government permission. Levels of consumption are dictated by the state, and “excess” income and wealth must be surrendered as taxes.
The concept of a corporate state has been a staple of the American left since Franklin Roosevelt, an early admirer of fascism. It was FDR that initiated the National Labor Relations Board to make the federal government the final arbiter in labor issues. The National Recovery Act governed all aspects of manufacturing and commerce and the Agricultural Adjustment Act introduced central planning to agriculture.
Beginning in the 1960s, the American left took as their foundational tenet rampant anti-Americanism. However, as the economic seeds of fascism were already planted and generally accepted by a sizable segment of the populace, it was a short leap, therefore, to become proponents of the economic precepts of one of Marxism’s closest cousins.
Barack Obama, marinated in this stew since his childhood, is chiefly responsible for a hybrid of fascism evolving into the dominant philosophy of the Democrat party. During his two terms as president, he was successful in advancing the tenets of this distinctive American political movement by adding one important ingredient. Obama orchestrated the confluence of the economic tenets of fascism and the narcissistic anti-Americanism of the 1960s with the race-based philosophies and tactics the Nazis used in their rise to power in the 1920s and early 1930s.
Among the tactics promoted by Obama in common with the Nazis are:
- An obsession with race. The Nazis maliciously and falsely claimed that the supposed inferiority of various racial groups throughout Europe was responsible for all the theoretical ills of society. In the United States, the left blames non-existent “systemic racism” by the White population for American society’s theoretical ills.
- “Identity politics” or the promulgation of grievance-riddled policies by government favored groups against unfavored groups in order to destabilize society. Hitler fomented anger at Jews in Germany and in America the left isolates white, heterosexual Christians.
- “Wokeism” or “cancel culture.” The Nazis staged book burnings and incessant public and media intimidation to shut down any person, publication, or institution that did not align with accepted ideology. In America, the left uses incessant social and mainstream media intimidation to do the same.
- The Nazis manipulated a willingly allied German mainstream media to relentlessly regurgitate outright lies, fabrications, and propaganda in order to indoctrinate and deceive the populace. The American Left currently manipulates a willingly allied American mainstream media to do the same. Per Nazi dogma: “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. …[as] the truth is the greatest enemy of the state.”
- Both the Nazis and the Democrats established a financially beneficial rapport with the corporate class. In Germany, it was the industrialists and in America Wall Street and Silicon Valley billionaires. Both authoritarian parties did so by promising the corporate class they would be left alone and given near-monopoly status if they mindlessly and generously supported the Party.
- The Nazis mobilized the Brown Shirts to provoke street riots, property damage, and gratuitous violence in order to intimidate the populace and marginalize the opposition. Their American counterparts have done the same with Antifa and Black Lives Matter.
- Both the Nazis and the American left fabricated or grossly exaggerated events, such as the Reichstag fire in 1933 or January 6, 2021, in order to turn the citizenry against their political opposition and justify an expansion of their political and police power.
Among the contemporary end-products of these Nazi-originated tactics is the political persecution and jailing without trial the January 6th defendants charged with simple misdemeanors and the ongoing premeditated abuse of government mandates to exploit the Covid-19 pandemic. Both tactics are aimed at browbeating the citizenry into meekly accepting a quasi-police state.
In the furtherance of fascist economic policy of centralized planning and control with a veneer of capitalism, the American left and the Democrat party have become closely aligned with and supported by favored unions and major corporations in pharmaceuticals, banking, finance, social media, health care, and the media/entertainment complex. All the while undermining new business creation and destroying existing small businesses as well as major corporations not in lockstep with the regime.
The purpose of the “Build Back Better Act” currently winding its way through Congress is to expand control of people’s lives by reshaping and permanently putting control of all aspects of the economy in the hands of politicians and bureaucrats.
Despite decades of unprecedented prosperity and access to information, far too many Democrat voters are among the most gullible people on earth. By mindlessly voting for the Democrats, these same fools are complicit in denigrating the nation’s founding, denying its accomplishments, and degrading the future for their progeny, all the while incomprehensibly ignoring and downplaying how their own world-leading standard of living came to be.
With so many not knowing who or what they are voting for, it is little wonder that the United States faces so many crises today.

In 2022, the Democrats Biggest Enemy is Voter Revulsion
Democrats haven’t grasped this yet, but it’s too late for them. The die is cast. An electoral bloodbath awaits next year, akin to or surpassing what happened to their party in 2010.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s and the Squad’s anti-American leftist politics drive their party, and that’s beginning to register at a gut-level with voters. What voters – critically, that big, pivotal segment known as independents – now feel is revulsion for Democrats in not just one way but many. The intensity of that revulsion is bound to grow in the coming months.
How do we know that? In the first 10 months of the Biden presidency, we went from a functioning country recovering from needless Covid lockdowns to a nation suddenly skidding downhill. Do we believe that we haven’t seen the worst of Biden’s inept governance and congressional Democrat incompetence, extremism, and corruption? 2021 will only prove a prelude.
Democrats are ensnared in hubris, and have boxed themselves into corners. Ideological corners. Policy corners. Governance corners. Interest group corners. Cultural corners. Integrity and corruption corners. An unabated lust for power dominates their appetites.
Starting on January 20 – shortly after Biden was sworn in and began robotically signing executive orders – voters witnessed failure after failure, with energy costs and inflation climbing; supply chains bogging down; an evaporating southern border and floods of illegals; needless defeat and retreat in Afghanistan; a draconian vax mandate; urban homicides and crime exploding; cancel culture employed as a threat and cudgel; boondoggle spending and proposals by a Democrat Congress; parents branded “domestic terrorists” by the U.S. attorney general; and, as Thomas Lifson pointed out, the spreading realization that Democrats hid Biden in his Delaware basement in 2020 because he really is decrepit and daft.
The moderation and bringing Americans together trope that Biden mouthed was a come-on, part of a confidence racket to persuade suburbanites – particularly suburban women – that there’d be no significant departures from Trump’s generally solid policies and governance – except his handling of Covid, which, claimed Biden’s ventriloquists, Trump failed to defeat. Biden averred that he’d shepherd the country out of the “dark winter” of Covid back into the light.
Instead, Biden and Democrats pimped fear and have diligently tried to force compliance with mask and vax mandates – after Biden publicly foreswore both. Reality and science were eschewed – the latter twisted and subordinated to serve Democrats’ political ends. Natural immunity is given short shrift, if at all. Biden made unquestioning obedience and threats of job loss and ostracization cornerstones of his Covid policy – a policy his administration is still pressing stubbornly.
In reaction, tens of thousands of Americans are quitting or boycotting their jobs, further putting strains on systems – including healthcare and public safety – and the economy.
With each passing day, “battling” Covid for public health’s sake appears for what it is: a shabby pretext. Democrats’ impulse – on full display – is authoritarianism on the way to modern totalitarianism… something akin to China’s evil social credit system is gestating. Citizens are seeing this and viscerally rejecting this decidedly anti-American gambit.
The election contests were close in Virginia and New Jersey, you say? Were Democrats really slapped down? The fact is that elections in blue-trending Virginia and deep blue New Jersey had no business being close.
In New Jersey, Phil Murphy’s bullying governance, his misfeasance in consigning Covid-sick seniors to nursing homes, resulting in the deaths of thousands of seniors, and shuttering his state’s economy made him damaged goods. If Murphy holds on to the governorship, it’s by the skin of his teeth – thanks to Democrat votes trickling in conveniently late.
Had Murphy governed closer to how sensible red state governors ran affairs would his job have been even remotely imperiled?
Terry McAuliffe’s missteps have been broadly publicized. Suffice it to say, McAuliffe assumed that his nomination was tantamount to election, failed to check his mouth, and, most tellingly, mulishly stuck by teachers’ unions and school boards in the face of mounting parent backlash to toxic Critical Race Theory and parent outrage at two sexual assaults at public schools. One by a boy in a skirt raping a girl in a school restroom. Initially, both assaults were denied by the Loudoun County school superintendent. The illusion of “gender fluidity” mattered more to the woke or cowed superintendent than the brutal reality of rape. Sane Virginians rebelled.
As Marley’s ghost was chained to his sins, Democrats – McAuliffe being the exemplar – are chained to special interests and militant “gimmie” voter blocs.
Finally, McAuliffe had no choice. Had he sided with Virginia parents over teachers’ unions and extremist school boards, he risked blowing up important parts of his coalition. So, he stayed true to his coalition and lost. Other Democrat candidates should take note, but won’t can’t. Expect more poison pill choices for Democrat candidates in other states next year.
For Democrats, 2022 will boil down to attempting damage control, up and down ballots. But there aren’t enough months in the year and hours in a day to execute a volte-face that persuades voters that Democrats aren’t who they’ve revealed themselves to be. The masks dropped this year, and voters in blue states in off-year elections responded with disgust. Then there’s the near-epic Biden incompetence and failure mentioned earlier that needs factoring in. Imagine the blowback coming in purplish and light red and blue jurisdictions next autumn?
Rest assured, Democrats and the left are implacable. While they’ve sown the seeds of their own destruction, they’re still a dangerous force, and patriots can’t let down their guards. In fact, efforts to defeat them must redouble.
Democrats and their coalition partners fought fiercely and cunningly in 2020 to wrest the presidency away from Donald Trump. As their fortunes become poorer, their desperation may drive them to extremes. For these cohorts, power isn’t just a means, it’s their god… it’s their alpha and omega.
What Americans want is what Democrats used to claim they wanted: a nation of true equality – equality of opportunity, not result (certainly not the theft called “equity”). Americans still believe in the ideal born with this republic that all of us should be weighed based on merit, not superficialities. Most citizens definitely reject being pitted against one another based on skin color, race, religion, national origin, and whatever else Marxist-steeped Democrats can leverage or concoct to divide and conquer.
What Americans desire is what Virginia voters have chosen. This January, sworn into the commonwealth’s highest offices, will be a white man, black woman, and Hispanic man. All Republicans, no less. What do these three soon-to-be officeholders share in common? A vison of America where superficialities are dismissed and our common humanity is acknowledged… where we strive to achieve a common good... where we aim to live together peacefully and productively as Americans.
We know this won’t ever be accomplished perfectly, but we aspire to do it well, thereby bequeathing to the next generation of citizens a better country.
Equality and a common good are emphatically American ideals, and darn worth working toward in this and every generation to come. The other – the division and conflict peddled by Democrats – is worth no more than our revulsion.

Nolte: 11 Reasons Democrats Are In Real Trouble
Democrats and their corrupt media allies will blame what they always blame for Tuesday night’s devastating losses: racism and poor communication. Well, they might be able to convince themselves of that in Virginia, where Critical Race Theory was a key issue, but…
Why is a Republican this close to winning the governorship in New Jersey, where culture issues were not on the table? Why did left-wing referendums in deep-blue cities like Minneapolis fail by wide margins? Why is deep blue Seattle’s new city attorney a Republican, and one who won by a 59 to 41 percent margin?
Democrats are in real trouble, and here’s why…
- The Establishment Media Can No Longer Manipulate Public Opinion
After five years of whoring out their credibility to take Trump down, a majority of voters no longer trust the media to tell them the truth. Over and over, the media have been caught in audacious lies. On top of that, the media are bubbled, arrogant, and out of touch.
The public is now wise to the media’s gaslighting techniques, and New Media makes it impossible for the fake media to hide real news.
It was New Media that exposed the Critical Race Theory that’s poisoning our schools. It was New Media that broke the Loudon Country School Board scandal. It was New Media that made it impossible for the fake media to pretend “parental rights” is code for racism or that Critical Race Theory “isn’t real.”
- COVID Exposed the Travesty of Government-run Schools
Nothing opened the eyes of Independent voters and suburban moms more than the unnecessary closing of government-run schools at the behest of far-left teachers unions.
On top of the inconvenience of having your kids home all day came the horror of watching their children disintegrate intellectually and socially. Worse still, as private schools and red-state schools opened with no problem, parents finally got a real look at the left-wing monsters in charge of their children’s education.
Then came the horror of Critical Race Theory.
There is no place a leftist is happier than in that influential spot between parent and child. But when you are hurting their children by teaching them racism, closing schools for no reason, and forcing them into masks you are constantly caught not wearing; parents strike back.
- Woke Blacklisting
The media and Democrat party have whole-heartedly embraced left-wing McCarthyism, and decent people don’t like it. Decent people do not want people destroyed over their ideas, opinions, or something they might have said five years ago. It’s un-American and obscene.
Worrying about pronouns while gas and food prices explode is pure lunacy.
What’s more, in the closing days of the Virginia election, Democrats and the media proved just how extreme and out of touch they are by launching a campaign to shame people as vulgar racists over “Let’s go, Brandon.”
- Joe Biden Is a Failed President
The economy is slowing, gas prices are up more than a dollar a gallon, inflation is at record highs, the southern border is wide open to any unvaccinated illegal who wants in, violent crime is up, the virus continues to rage, and hundreds of Americans are still trapped in Afghanistan…
- Joe Biden Moved to the Far Left
This is something that doesn’t get enough attention. During the 2020 campaign, as his party sought to defund the police, open our borders, cheer on race riots, and blacklist everyone who strayed from the woke plantation, Biden posed as the rational alternative to Trump.
But once Biden got into office, he moved to the left of even Obama on every conceivable issue—from trans voodoo to insane spending to open borders to strangling our energy sector.
Public whiplash was key to last night’s expression of buyer’s remorse.
- Democrats Ignore Needs of Voters
While inflation, gas prices, and violent crime soar; while unvaccinated illegal aliens swarm; while schools destroy kids by teaching racism and forcing them into masks, while people are fired for refusing to get vaccinated, the Democrat party is obsessing over Trump, carbon, and pronouns.
- Donald Trump Was Not a Factor
Blacklisting the former president from social media was the dumbest thing the organized left ever did. I’m convinced that if Trump still had access to his Twitter feed, instead of losing to Republican Glenn Youngkin by a handful of points, Democrat Terry McAuliffe would’ve won by a few points.
If Trump runs for president in 2024, I’ll crawl over broken glass to support and vote for him. But there’s no denying he turns off a lot of Independent voters and animates Democrats.
Trump was a great president and one capable of great charm. He is also responsible for bringing the issues to the fore that turned the GOP into a true force and injecting it with the spine necessary to ignore and dismiss the fake media. But his brutal honesty, his bombast, and his childish need to make everything about him does indeed make everything about him, including elections.
Well, this election was not about him. It was about local issues involving crime and schools and mandates and taxes. Democrats stink on those issues, and Trump was not available to cover up that stink.
- Calling Everyone Racist
Turn on the news right now and see it for yourself. As I write this, the establishment media and Democrats are accusing everyone who voted against them of racism. Their ludicrous reasoning is that the issue of “parental rights” is racism. Therefore, opposing Critical Race Theory is racism. No, wait… Believing Critical Race Theory is real is itself racism.
Thankfully, they have learned nothing.
- Democrats are Beholden to the Far Left
This is the biggest problem for Democrats. The killjoy fascists in the woke/trans/defund-the-police/Critical Race Theory wing of the party now own the party. And the party did this to themselves.
No one forced Democrats to smear the working class — who were once the backbone of their party — as racists.
- No Bullpen
Biden was the last politician the Democrats had who could credibly run as a moderate and not terrify Independents, and he’s nowhere near capable of running again in 2024.
- Arrogance
Democrats and their media allies have stopped hiding their smug disdain for everyday people.
