Yeah and broad blanket statements are almost never true. Some people vote Democrat just because they think Republican policies take America backwards
Like...

* murdering unborn children up to 9 months in the womb; and California's considering a measure to allow mothers to let their babies die of starvation 2 weeks after birth; How progressive!

* the introduction of no-bail laws, and calling for the defunding of the police; none of which has resulted a 50%-100% rise in crime, or anything;

* attacking the fossil-fuel industry causing inflation to shoot up (loooong before Putin invaded Ukraine);

* prosecuting the Capitol Hill invaders while bailing out the 2020 rioters;

* giving aid and comfort to inner city insurrectionists aided and abetted by the communist BLM and Antifa organizations;

* trying to divide and conquer the population through
a) CRT and the reinstitution of racial freaking segregation in our public schools,
b) maskers vs no-maskers
c) vaxxers vs. non-vaxxers;

If we're worried about each other, we're not watching those in power;

* utilizing crises and exaggerating crises, like Covid and global warming, to alarm the population into surrendering their freedoms for "emergency" government action;

* calling for an end to our constitution, call it a document founded on slavery and white supremacy, calling it "outdated", obsolete; and

* calling freedom of speech evil by also calling it white supremacist, and from this, cancel culture.

All of this is coming from today's Democrats. None of it is coming from the Right. None of it.

It is classically authoritarian, as such tactics were used by the Communists and the Fascists of the 20th Century. And, that's pretty consistent since all of the authoritarian movements of the last century originated on the Left. Yes, even fascism, as it was a modified socialism, and Hitler and Mussolini began their careers as socialists.

Progress looks good, everybody!

As many millions have already been around the world. And you know what? I have a hard time feeling sorry for them.

It is actually anti-American. It promotes and seeks the inverse of the American founding.

The leftists did the witch hunt thing to Trump non-stop with railing accusations. Trump had his faults, but they didn't go after him for those. They just made up lies about Russian illegal involvement, while their man and his son were into that up to their necks. Even public incriminating comments biten and Hunter were open about their crimes.

This is what is done by authoritarians: wipe out your opposition, so that the people have only one choice.

I have been calling them Marxist/Fascist/Anarchist evildoers for quite some time. Finally someone else has woken up to the reality -- America has been hijacked by its enemies and the Special Forces have slept through this hijacking.

Here is the article from American Thinker.

PART I

It’s time to stop calling them Democrats.

This is no longer the party of FDR, JFK, or even Bill Clinton, and it’s time to start calling a spade a spade. Imagine this scenario: You have a neighbor, Mr. Jones—a kind old man whose wife died years ago, who works in his small garden, wears the same old jacket all the time, and has a funny but genuine laugh. One day, suddenly, Mr. Jones disappears.

Several days later, you notice some activity in his place—it looks like Mr. Jones—and you go to say hello. But suddenly, you realize this is a stranger. He looks like Mr. Jones, sounds a little like Mr. Jones, and acts in some ways like Mr. Jones. But it’s not him. This person lives in Mr. Jones’ place, wears his clothes, works in the garden, and even has a strange imitation of his laugh. “Who are you?” you ask. He responds, “Why, I’m Mr. Jones, of course!” But it’s not him.

This creepy scenario is what has taken place with the Democratic party. One of the stated goals of communism, from the Congressional Record in 1963, was to take over one or both political parties from within.

They’ve succeeded.

In 1949, William Z. Foster, a chairman of the Communist Party USA, dedicated a book by writing “To My Great-Grandson Joseph Manley Kolko Who Will Live in a Communist United States.” He seemed quite confident.

One of the many challenges real Americans now face is to start calling “Democrats” what they actually are. They’ll protest. But if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and acts like a duck, we need to call it a duck. We’ve been conditioned to believe that communism is just a myth, that it isn’t real, or even if it is real, it only exists in faraway places like China, and anyone who mentions it is a conspiracist who deserves ridicule.

But let’s review a few basics:
  • They’re raiding and jailing their political opponents.
  • They’re turning the FBI, CIA, and IRS against American citizens.
  • They’ve come out against freedom of speech, religion, press, the Second Amendment, and other core American ideals.
  • They’ve abandoned the rule of law, and now have one set of laws for themselves and another for the rest of us.
  • They’re deliberately trying to bankrupt us—sometimes directly (through shutting down businesses), sometimes indirectly (through wasting trillions of our dollars.)
  • They’re indoctrinating our children with radical ideologies.
  • They celebrate infanticide.
  • They’re making secret deals with foreign entities against our interests.
  • They’re deliberately keeping our borders wide open to erase our national identity.
  • They mandate groupthink and conformity and punish anyone who doesn’t parrot their chosen narratives, however absurd.
  • They’re purging the best from our military and converting what’s left into a tool of Wokeism.
  • They’ve transformed our once-great American cities into crime-ridden hellscapes.
  • They relentlessly stoke division between everyone and never miss the slightest opportunity to accuse someone or something of being racist, sexist, phobic, supremacist, etc.
  • They constantly work to slander, cancel, and erase our Founding Fathers, American heroes, and America itself. (E.g., they removed the statue of Theodore Roosevelt from the American Museum of Natural History.)
  • They want to defund the police, release criminals from prisons and disarm the rest of us.
  • They defend terrorists. (Joe Biden: “Antifa is an idea, not an organization.”)
  • They’ve ignored the first principle of the Nuremberg Code, which was written in the aftermath of WWII, and which explicitly prohibits coerced consent for experimental medications. (See, e.g., here or here.)
  • They’ve tried to corrupt elections on a national scale.
  • They’ve openly stated their desire to abolish the family structure itself.
  • They’ve threatened to abolish the filibuster, pack the Supreme Court, and dismantle the electoral college system.
  • They’re criminalizing normality on multiple fronts.
  • They’ve taken down American flags and raised other flags in government buildings and city streets, symbolizing their stealth political takeover.
  • Their leaders have literally kneeled to one form of the cause they actually serve in the Capital building.
I don't disagree with the general descriptor of a democrat, however we must keep in mind that as Christians we must act like Christians and be representative of God in the public sphere.

And Scripture tells us to approach others with Christian grace and mercy. This means speaking to them in a respectful manner, though they don't return the favor.

I just want to change directions for a second to let those who read, where I stand.
There are a lot of folks that I minister to who are likely democrats. I don't ask them, but I serve seniors and convalescent most whose churches forgot about them. Those who are in that age range and demographic are mostly democrats in my area .
I don't think that they have much in common with the politicians or communist arm of the party. Democrats used to be pro life in my state, pro 2nd, conservative family values. The unions directed a huge voting block to the party, but most remained because that is how their parents taught them. The schools also have influence on children's choices as they mature.

On the other hand, There are hard core violent Marxists in the democrat party as we saw all over the USA for two years. Neighborhoods burned and murders were overlooked by the establishment in those cities. Those who allowed it who were paid for that job are as much at fault, so it was a test run to see if there's a limit to the lawlessness. Many say Soros paid for his own choice of key positions like prosecutors in the larger cities. I would be surprised if that wasn't true.

This needs to be applied in the proper context. How did Christ speak of the scribes and Pharisees (which were not even evil like the Communists)?

Clearly Jesus found a great deal of evil in the wolves of his flock.

Proper context - they aren't hiding who they are anymore. It's clear to the most casual observer. Therefore, it's unnecessary to point out but to those who have been hiding under rocks, unless you're just wanting to provoke a reaction.

I don't believe being deliberately provocative is a positive way to get people to hear your thoughts on any topic, and it just doesn't seem Christian to me.

Hey, that's just the Left's way of uniting and not dividing. After all, it's always the Right they blame for being divisive. I'd like to move back home to NY and write that b**** a little note saying, "I'm baaaacccckk!!"

Hey, I knew I wasn't welcome there a year ago. I would recommend to all Christians, you aren't welcome in NY, shake off the dust and get out of dodge. Treat them like Korah and get as far away from them as possible.

The most positive thing people can do today is to recognize that their government is now their sworn enemy. Then they can take steps to protect themselves.

As the old saying goes "KNOW YOUR ENEMY". And the governments of the West are now the enemies of Christians and law-abiding citizens. But they are going under a disguise instead of plainly telling people "We are now committed to Marxism/Fascism/Anarchism, and we are coming after you". So just as Christ warned against wolves in sheep's clothing, we are to warn others about the reality which is facing them. This is all part of spiritual warfare.

Good or bad our government isn't spiritual warfare.

People were given over to sin and their voting habits show it, which boils over into how the country is ran.

The fewer Christians and the more sin, the worse the country will be.

The ONLY fix is within the people themselves - and their relationship to God. The spiritual warfare is now and will always be the souls of man.

Therefore - our fight isn't over control of the government. That won't fix the actual problem
