But somewhere between\u00a0fighting to keep slavery alive<\/strong>\u00a0(Andrew Johnson); deliberately\u00a0reducing the number of black civilian employees<\/strong>\u00a0from the federal workforce and airing a film that\u00a0glorified the Ku Klux Klan<\/strong>\u00a0at the White House (Woodrow Wilson); throwing\u00a0Japanese Americans into internment camps<\/strong>\u00a0during World War II (Franklin Delano Roosevelt); promoting a culture of\u00a0government dependence<\/strong>, poverty and\u00a0fatherlessness\u00a0<\/strong>(Lyndon Johnson);\u00a0\u00a0creating racial tension<\/strong>\u00a0by declaring cops racist\u2014leading to further destruction of our inner cities, while mocking legitimate concerns of disgruntled blue collar midwesterners frustrated by decreasing wages, lack of employment opportunities\u2014and\u00a0an opioid epidemic hollowing out their communities<\/strong>\u00a0(Barack Obama); the\u00a0intentional failure to enforce our country\u2019s immigration laws<\/strong>, contributing to a four decade high of inflation by spending trillions of taxpayer dollars on Democrat pet projects that mostly help special interest groups, referring to roughly half the country as violent extremists and weaponizing the Department of Justice\u2014to throw his leading political rival in prison (Joe Biden);\u00a0it seems fair to say the Democratic Party has fallen well short of being a champion for anyone, except for its own desperate attempt to stay in power at any and all costs.<\/strong><\/p>\n For a party that abhors the Founding Fathers and seeks to delegitimize their contributions, rejects and regards the principles of the Constitution as meaningless, and regularly criticizes the country for failing to live up to its stated goal of forming a more perfect union, perhaps it might be time for the Democratic Party to look itself in the mirror.<\/p>\n The entirety of the Democratic Party platform in 2023 is predicated on fear mongering and based on easily verifiable lies about the Republican Party.<\/strong><\/p>\n It typically sounds something like this: Republicans want to make it harder for minorities to vote, they only want to give tax breaks to the wealthy, they\u2019re banning books and ignoring inconvenient aspects of American history, they don\u2019t want poor kids to be able to go to college, they\u2019re anti-immigration, they want to deprive Americans from receiving healthcare, they don\u2019t believe trans people exist, they don\u2019t think women have a right to make their own medical decisions, and police are writ large racist and randomly hunting down black people, etc.<\/p>\n Not a single one of those absurd claims, which are promulgated regularly in the pages of The New York Times, The Washington Post, and other leftist propaganda outlets has one iota of credibility. But that hasn\u2019t prevented Democrat politicians, Hollywood, academia and the legacy media from repeating these erroneous charges into ad nauseum.<\/p>\n Take, for instance, the ridiculous claim that Republican led states like Georgia want to make it harder for minorities to vote.\u00a0<\/strong>Considering that the Peach State just set a\u00a0record<\/a>\u00a0for voter turnout in the Midterms\u2014in which over one million people voted\u2014Republican leaders did a pretty poor job of discouraging citizens from casting their ballots.<\/p>\n It is hardly discriminatory to require every single American to present a valid form of ID that clearly verifies who the individual is. Nothing about that is inherently racist, but it certainly is racist to imply that black people for some reason either do not have an ID, or do not possess the means to obtain a driver\u2019s license. If the DMV is suddenly denying licenses to black people\u2014one would imagine the Biden DOJ would have started an investigation.<\/p>\n But I digress.<\/p>\n What about the Democrats\u2019 fallacious charge that Republicans only want to give tax breaks to the wealthy?\u00a0<\/strong>Once again, that is simply not borne out by any shred of evidence.<\/p>\n An analysis of\u00a0IRS tax data<\/a>\u00a0showed that the Trump tax cuts disproportionately benefited those earning less than $50,000 per year. Those with an adjusted gross income (AGI) of $15,000 to $50,000 saw an average tax cut of 16 percent to 26 percent in 2018, while those who earned $50,000 to $100,000 received a tax break between 15 percent to 17 percent.<\/p>\n Those earning between $100,000 to $500,000 in AGI saw their personal income taxes decrease by around 11 percent to 13 percent and no one with an AGI of at least $500,000 received an average tax cut above 9 percent. The average tax cut for those in income brackets starting at $1 million was less than 6 percent.<\/p>\n In other words, under Trump\u2019s tax plan, the more money an individual earned, the higher their income was effectively taxed. But don\u2019t let the facts get in the way of the Democrats narrative.<\/p>\n How about the Biden White House\u2019s specious claim that Republicans are banning books and refusing to teach about slavery? In reality, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis\u00a0removed<\/a>\u00a0books from\u00a0libraries and classrooms in 23 school districts across the state that contained pornographic content and other types of violent and inappropriate material. One would think the Democrats would be fine with keeping pornography away from elementary schools, but apparently not.<\/p>\n Furthermore, under\u00a0statute<\/a>, s. 1003.42(2)(f), F.S. It is a requirement for Florida schools to teach African American history. But teaching students about slavery is different from segregating a classroom along racial lines into groups of evil white \u201coppressors\u201d and \u201coppressed,\u201d groups, while pontificating to seven year olds that America remains an irredeemably racist country. Sadly that remains the Democrats preferred view of this country.<\/p>\n What about the now irrelevant Bernie Sanders and his ilk who claim Republicans don\u2019t want poor kids to be able to go to college. For starters those from upper income families would have\u00a0likely<\/a>\u00a0benefited more than lower income households if Biden\u2019s failed attempt to unconstitutionally cancel billions of dollars of student loan debt had passed\u2014so it would not have even helped those who it was intended to benefit.<\/p>\n Second, not everyone wants to go to college, but for those who do wish to go, the taxpayers should not be subsidizing those who obtain useless degrees in topics like feminist, gender and sexuality studies, which will almost certainly lead to graduates becoming dumber, while remaining unemployed without any tangible skills.<\/p>\n How about the Democrats\u2019 sophist charge that Republicans are anti-immigration?<\/strong>\u00a0In reality they\u2019re not against immigration, they\u2019re against illegal immigration! It is not compassionate to let millions of unvetted migrants pour across our country, while they suppress our wages, overwhelm public resources, commit violent crimes, and traffic in drugs and humans. It is not a serious argument to justify support for illegal immigration by proclaiming that migrants are more willing to do jobs other Americans are less likely to want to do. There is nothing humane about failing to secure our southern border or treating citizens from other countries better than we treat our own.<\/p>\n What about the Democrats who foolishly claim Republicans want to deprive Americans from receiving healthcare?<\/strong>\u00a0The reality is, socialized healthcare is a disaster that will cause millions of Americans to lose their healthcare plans, while lowering the quality of care. It will almost certainly raise the cost of coverage and increase wait times. Just ask all the Canadians who would rather spend money and\u00a0travel to the U.S.<\/a>\u00a0so they can be treated for cancer or surgery sooner.<\/p>\n How about the Democrats who claim that Republicans don\u2019t believe trans people exist?\u00a0<\/strong>For starters, anyone can identify as whatever they want, but that does not make it reality. I can go around telling people I\u2019m a giraffe, but I do not have the right to compel people to believe me. Second, when the delusions of a small group of people threaten the competitive nature of women\u2019s sports, and can lead to inappropriate locker room interactions, that is when the charade should immediately end. The Democratic Party has long claimed to care about empowering women, but lately they seem to be more interested in empowering men who say they are women.<\/p>\n What about the Democrats who claim Republicans don\u2019t think women have a right to make their own medical decisions?\u00a0<\/strong>Most of the American public\u00a0supports a 15 week ban on abortion<\/a>\u2014which means most people are in favor of protecting the innocent life of an unborn child\u2014while also ensuring the safety of the mother. Unfortunately, the Democrats do not view an unborn child as a human, even if it has a heartbeat. The party that supposedly cares about human beings supports abortion on demand, up until and including the birth of a child. That does not seem too charitable.<\/p>\n How about the Democrats false claim that police are writ large racist and randomly hunting down black people?\u00a0<\/strong>This is simply not borne out by the data. There is\u00a0zero evidence<\/a>\u00a0that black people are killed by police at a higher rate than white people are. In fact the evidence shows that a police officer is 18 \u00bd more likely to be killed by a black male, than an unarmed black male is to be killed by a police officer. but that hasn\u2019t stopped Democrat demagogues from repeating the lie anyway to further divide the country for political gain.<\/p>\n So which groups benefit from Democratic policies?<\/strong><\/p>\n Outside of Democrat special interest groups, the president\u2019s corrupt son, and our chief adversaries around the world, I can\u2019t think of anyone. But it\u2019s clearly not me or you.<\/p>\n Do children living in inner cities who attend failing public schools controlled by Democrat teachers unions who wanted to keep them home during COVID? How about those living in high crime areas where the police are nowhere to be found after Democrat politicians spent years defaming and defunding them? How about Jewish communities, who have faced a rise in antisemitic attacks, while Democrat politicians consistently side with\u00a0Israel hating terrorist groups<\/a>\u00a0like Hamas and Hezbollah? What about the Asian community that the Democratic Party now penalizes for scoring too high on standardized exams in order to achieve a more \u201cequitable\u201d racial quota. How about those who support pro-life groups? How about everyday Americans who have been crushed by Bidenflation and the Left\u2019s war on American energy production? What about those who did not want to lose their job or business\u2014due to their refusal to take a COVID vaccine that does not appear to work the way the \u201chealth experts\u201d told us it would.<\/em><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/s3\/files\/inline-images\/2023-07-13_14-13-39.jpg?itok=QYJyinKa\")
