Democrats Have Divided America
It was not long ago that America was the most united it has ever been. President Ronald Reagan won 49 states in the 1984 election. He won California, New York and even Hawaii.
Such a near-unanimous decision seems like it would be impossible today. What happened?
There are three main tactics used by Democrats that are causing a divide in our country: identity politics, censorship and promoting abortion.
In recent years, the bad economic policies of the Democrats have failed to work. Big government and heavy tax burdens caused stagnation. Under President Barack Obama, economic growth was limited. The Democrats desperately needed a new set of political tactics to garner votes.
The creation of identity politics was the first phase of the Democrat plan. Identity politics refers to championing policy and campaigning for the votes of specific groups of people.
Democrats could not recruit voters with an economic message, so a racial message would have to do.
But by appealing to certain groups of people, Democrats have essentially divided racial groups in America by political lines.
Before a few years ago, it felt as if racial tensions in America were low and people could come together without needing to discuss race. Now, Democrats have made everything about race.
The use of identity politics by Democrats have landed them votes. Democrats simply campaign for looser immigration laws and try to win as many Democrat voters as possible. Their immigration policy is not for the benefit of immigrants or Americans; they only want political power.
The second method of Democrat division is censorship.
Democrats are uneasy about letting their opinions be challenged. They typically do not have a strong economic argument; as a result, Democrats want to stifle speech with which they do not agree.
The main consequence of censoring speech is blowback from the censored parties. People do not like to be censored, and the 21st century gives censored voices a platform via the Internet and alternative media.
Those who are censored are obviously not going to be very happy with the Democrats, and revealing this censorship stokes anger toward Democrats. The anger is reciprocated by the Democrat Party, which sought to silence these voices to begin with.
Even unsavory opinions fester and grow as a result of not being challenged. Opinions that are deemed reprehensible ought to be debated so the flaws in their arguments can be revealed.
Without being challenged or debated, racists and political extremists of all types are able to grow freely. Censorship does not work.
The third, and perhaps most sinister divisive tactic of Democrats is the promotion of abortion. This is a sinister political stance because babies are human beings, even if they happen to be in the womb.
Several Democrats and radical feminists have even advocated for third-trimester abortions. I cannot fathom how anybody could believe those babies are not real human beings who deserve a right to life like every other human being.
Democrats are willing to sacrifice human life for political points with radical feminists. Many people are outraged by this, and rightfully so.
The Democrats want to benefit from a divided America. Their policies are radical and destructive. We must resist such divisive political tactics and yearn for a united country like the United States of America under Ronald Reagan in 1984. https://www.westernjournal.com/democrats-divided-america/ Please reopen me.

Executing dominionist scum after they breach the establishment clause will be my duty, privilege, and honor as an American.
No death wishing. D.
Keep tilting at windmills but while doing so you better pack a lunch or two.
calling for ethnic cleansing and you want to participate.
not surprised...showing your true colors now.
We must do more than resist - we must decimate this sick ideology.
The strategy described in the article is the only way that progressives can win elections. The democratic party of 2017 is one of radical beliefs bolstered by various groups who vote along party lines for selfish purposes. Make no mistake, minorities & new immigrants (Illegal ones are voting) are not voting for the party based on progressive ideology. I doubt anybody in these groups cares about abortion or which bathroom people use, but rather the belief that their self interests will be rewarded via democratic victories. That is why progressives don't care that the party has lost what once was their broad base - blue collar workers. The very people Hillary Clinton called "deplorables" and president Obama called "clingers". Those voters, who tend to think for themselves have been replaced by the newcomers, or as Ms Clinton once referred to them "the needy Hispanics".
At least the American public is finally on to them. As the democratic party continues to trend left, the nation trends right. The 2018 mid term elections will tell us a lot. Regardless of the results, progressives have already charted their course for the 2020 election. They are now purging the party of the scandal tainted old guard in congress in hopes of gaining the high moral ground to start pointing out Republican misconduct.
Prediction - the democratic party will not only nominate a woman again, but a minority woman in 2020.
You mean like gerrymandering, that kind of strategy? Or maybe voter roll purges? Or voter ID laws? That kind of thing? Is that the kind of Progressive strategy that you're referring to? The kind that disenfranchises and eliminates voters that are unlikely to vote their way. Is that what you're referring to?
Not to mention the still living people that accidentally get purged as well?
When there has been no evidence resented of them voting in numbers? Not to mention legal citizens that accidentally get purged as well because of their names and the fact that they overwhelmingly vote Democratic?
You mean the D-eplorables?
But they don't just drop off dead people, do they? Can you prove that illegal aliens vote?
As far as "dipshiits, dumbphucks, dimwits and other assorted D-Bags along the way", to the best of my knowledge, they permit any pernicious person to vote GOP as long as they can breathe, so why shouldn't the other parties?
California won't let us see their voter rolls, however whenever ICE picks up illegals out there, they routinely ask "did you vote?" The illegals can always say no and who would know the difference, yet the majority answers "YES"
Voter ID is non discriminatory. Liberal, activist judges have fought it. Liberal politicians use it to get out the minority vote. As I say the American people are on to it now. You can get all the excess votes out in Los Californios, but you are done!
As long as CA wont show it's voter rolls, people like me can say they got 4 million illegals voting out there
As with most CA county registrar's offices, voter rolls contain Personally Identifiable Information (PII), which includes, the voter's name, their address and DOB, amongst other information. That information is not available to the general public, but can be accessed by the Press with proper Press Credentials and need to know. I assume you have a problem with that, but I'd like to know why.
Before making statements about what CA will and won't disclose and making a blanket statement about an alien population voting, be informed. Here's a link to be informed ( ) about what all of the states may require of their voters and are maintained in their databases.
Share with us how you believe that PII information should be openly utilized. If you believe that it is all fair game, then I presume all of your own Personally Identifiable Information should also be fully available and you're alright with anyone viewing that as well. Good to know.
Um no. Not so.
The first real documented example in the U.S. is from 1812. Massachusetts redrew its state senate districts in a way that was thought to be beneficial to Governor Elbridge Gerry and his Democratic-Republican Party. A political cartoon at the time noted one of the strangely-drawn districts was shaped like a salamander, so gerrymander was coined as a portmanteau between Gerry and salamander.
Don't let the party name confuse you.
The new national government established by the Constitution in 1789 was first led by the politics of the Federalist Party . Policies implemented under President George Washington (1732–1799; served 1789–97) reflected that party's belief in a strong central government. Led by Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton (1755–1804), the Federalists used the government to cultivate a national economy dominated by commerce.
By 1792, opposition to the policies of the Federalist Party was growing. Led by Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826), critics of the Federalists banded together to form the Republican Party . They were also called Democratic-Republicans or Jeffersonian Republicans.
probably Pocahontas.
regardless who they pick they will lose.
Gee, that kinda reminds me of what Dems were saying about Republicans not too long ago.
Or Kamala Harris. At the very least, she's legitimately biracial.
Wow. Who knew equality was a "radical belief".
dems have not divided america, democrats have divided themselves from america .
people who love this country support things like secure borders, favorable trade deals. and a sovereign country
democrats want to screw up our country with things like open borders, schit trade deals, and a nation submissive to foreign bureaucrats.
and while democrats are distracted by russia russiarussia ???

You just keep repeating that mantra instead of watching what's happening in the real world.
I have been watching... it is you who are blinded by the bs russia narrative
among other things... you might want to check the status of the. tpp, paris agreement, unesco, the un migration agreement,
the real world in this country is not going to allow your open border society to happen.

There was someone on Morning Joe today who conducted polling of millenials as regards politics. Under 30's are overwhelmingly opposed to the conservative "vision".
Demographics is destiny, and within the lifetimes of most of us, though perhaps not all, this strident right wing nonsense that pains many people so much today will slip into the dustbin of history, through the ballot box.
that explains a lot
So the seeder of the article allows threats and hate speech on his articles. The same seeder that gives lip service to ''comity and civility'' and whines about the number of articles that he can post per day....
you agree with that? death wishing? Wow...and yet you call out with someone else saying the same thing on the other side of the aisle....wow, shocked that you don't see your own hypocrisy (not really). Death wishing is not cool.
Yet most conservative Republicans are either hoping to shoot liberals themselves or praying for their God to come wipe them out. What monumental hypocrites.
If your comment is directed to me volfan, show me where I only called out one side. I called out both as difficult as that is for you to understand.
For the love of God, Kav...that was not directed at you...it was the very first comment on this article. No matter what side of the aisle, death wishing is wrong!
If you think yesterdays republicans are the same as the racist gits today, you are a conservative.
If you think today's Democrats are the same as yesterday's Democrats, you are right.
In the late 1950's Arkansas was 68% Democrat, by 1972 they were 70% Republican. Today they are just over 60% Republican. Do you think all the bigoted white supremacists that fought to protect slavery, fought to protect segregation, fought to protect bans on interracial marriage and fought the civil rights act and voting rights act tooth and nail just moved out of State so all the supposedly "righteous" Republicans could move in? Of course not, the racists simply switch party allegiance to the party that embraced discrimination and exclusion. They continue to this day to fight against equality with 75% of Arkansans believing the US should ban homosexuality. They are of course just one State and one example of what happened all across the South. The racist "Dixiecrats" didn't move away, they merely changed parties in an attempt to re-brand themselves as something other than the party of the KKK and slavery. A leopard can't change its spots, but it can change its party affiliation.
If you watch the MSM talking points, The country is divided.
It's more like the Loudest Snowflakes make it seem like there is a 50/50 split in this country, due to the MSM.
If you look at the real political maps , there is a fucking lot more red compared to snowflake blue.
So, in my conclusion, Temper tantrums (reference toys-r-us kids) make the news more than the quiet GIANT.
Oh, honey, that is empty land, not people.
Hillary thought the SAME THING.
Guess what....ignoring those so-called empty spaces cost the Liberals a shit load......DEAR !
Keep on, Keep on Liberals .
we need a yawning emoji
I know....right ?
There has been a shit load of "Yawning" since 2010.
WTF happened again ?
do you have your own?
Throughout history, Conservatives have been on the side of oppression, slavery, and murder.
They were the Loyalists supporting the British throne before and during the American Revolution.
They were the Confederates fighting for the right for their states to keep the establishment of slavery by fighting against the United States of America.
They were the founders of the KKK and proponents of the Jim Crow laws.
They were the architects of the Great Depression.
They have included Neo Nazis and Fascism into their ideology.
They assassinated Civil Rights leaders and lynched innocent African Americans.
They implemented the Southern Strategy.
They dragged America against her best interests into the bullshit war on terrorism.
I can already hear the shrieks of "but the Democrats did that!" which is why I used the label of conservative, since the Democrat party was once the party of conservatives.
I'm proud to divide myself from conservatives, who have almost always been on the wrong side of history.
I am locking this article down. Despite Perrie's warning about death wishing, the general tone of the article has denigrated into a free-for-all.
Be careful about hiding an insult in a question-- that's still a CoC violation. If I try to clean up this article, it will take an hour, and I'm pretty fed up.
XX, it is your job to foster a healthy and open discussion. I have noticed that you have tried, but why publish something like this in the first place?
