OPINION:
The Democratic Party has an orchestrated strategy of characterizing itself as the party of “liberals” and “progressives,” yet nothing could be further from the truth. All unbiased media should reject the use of these adjectives.
The truth is that today’s Democrats are Stalinists. “Tyrannical” and “authoritarian” are more accurate descriptors. The party has a keen marketing strategy to affiliate itself with words that have positive connotations. For example, “liberal” applies to someone who is open- minded. The Democrats are anything but. They are opposed to any ideas not aligned with theirs and they go to extraordinary lengths to shut down any truly open-minded or fair dialogue — even when their cities burn in the background and armies from around the globe invade our country unchallenged.
“Progressive” means being interested in new ideas, including moderate political beliefs. But today’s Democrats shut down open- mindedness and only believe in authoritarian, one-party control. They have chosen to destroy the form of government on which this country was founded. No more three branches of government unless it serves to support their agenda.
Since when does the executive branch have authority to issue laws by decree? Since when does Congress have the mandate to shut down the judicial branch by intimidation and threat of violence against Supreme Court justices? Since when is it acceptable for the Supreme Court justices to issue opinions based on their individual preferences instead of fair and unbiased interpretation of the law?
Today’s Democrats demand blind submission to authority and never step out of line. They stick together like the band of thieves they are. Their strategy is tyranny, oppressive power exerted by the government to create a police state where all dissent is politically, financially and judicially crushed and ruined.
So let’s call the Democrats what they are and quit pandering to their misleading, self-serving descriptives which are nothing more than more misinformation about their true character.
