The Democrats' radical, undemocratic agenda

For all their talk about protecting democracy, Democrats sure are proving quick to abandon it by sidelining Congress and pushing President Joe Biden to enact a far-left agenda unilaterally through executive action.

Last week, the Congressional Progressive Caucus released “Recommendations for Executive Action,” a six-page document outlining policies that left-wing Democrats failed to persuade even a Democratic-controlled Congress to pass. They now want Biden to use presidential power alone to implement what has been rejected by the representatives of the wider public. Can there be a more crystalline example of elitism over equality?
The scope of the changes Democrats are pushing for is staggering….

The editorial board of the Washington Examiner is exactly right. The leadership of the democrat party and its aligned interest and media groups are indeed ready to end our democracy and constitutional republic as we know it. From energy to the environment to immigration to taxes and spending they want a return to Obama and his rule by pen and phone.

 

Democrats intend to fulfill Obama’s dream to transform America from what we knew her as into an Orwellian dystopia.

 

I would highly advise the President against it. Of course I would have highly advised the last 3 presidents against it, but it's more important to win in our system than to be concerned with silly things like precedent. So we'll just keep going from "emergency" to "emergency". Until we're governed by entirely by executive decree.

The alternative is more parties or independents that can join a concensus without being primaried as party traitors, but that's just insanity then the other guys might win.

 

I have to say, all these democrats running around caterwauling about "democracy" and then using Ukraine as an example seems to be pretty thin. They did just become a single party autocracy.. Perhaps that's why democrats like them now....

 

Democrats were the ones who actually colluded with Putin and Russia…

In case you’re wondering, like I was, here is a list of the people in this progressive caucus. You really couldn’t choose a more nutty group of people if your life depended on it.

http://www.thehypertexts.com/Donald Trump Benito Mussolini Parallels Fascists.htm

Like Mussolini, Trump demands loyalty to his person, rather than to the nation.
Like Mussolini, Trump threatens and humiliates anyone who opposes him.
Like Mussolini, Trump attempts to discredit and cow the legitimate press.
Like Mussolini, Trump becomes enraged when criticized.
Like Mussolini, Trump exhibits "thin-skinned ignorance combined with arrogant contempt."
Like Mussolini, Trump is a "man of the banner headline" who is quickly bored by details, discussions and strategy.
Like Mussolini, Trump takes all the credit when things go right, but none of the blame when things go wrong.
Like Mussolini, Trump is what Umberto Eco called "a beehive of contradictions."
Like Mussolini, Trump lacks any philosophy: he has only rhetoric.
Like Mussolini, Trump gives the impression of talking directly to the people, while presuming to speak for them.
Like Mussolini, Trump pretends to be an expert on every subject while in reality being incredibly incompetent and uninformed.
Like Mussolini, Trump is closer to a Mafia don or gang lord than a democratic leader.
Like Mussolini, Trump has had multiple wives, several mistressses and scores of adulterous affairs.
Like Mussolini, Trump is working to strengthen laws against abortions, forcing girls and women to bear children they don't want or can't afford.

Here's an eerie coincidence: Mussolini appointed his son-in-law as foreign minister; Trump has appointed his son-in-law as his primary foreign minister in the Middle East, the source of 9-11 and two bloody, trillion-dollar wars.

Mussolini was taken to be a sheep in wolves' clothing, until he proved to be a real wolf. Many Americans seem to believe that what Trump says cannot be taken seriously. But Ben-Ghiat disagrees about Trump: "He means everything he says. Authoritarians never pivot."

According to Ben-Ghiat, Mussolini described himself as an anti-politician, coined the slogan drenare la palude ("drain the swamp") and promised to make Italy great again. Ring any bells?
