Democrats Have Created 'Two Americas'
By: Derek Hunter
The two Americas democrats have created for themselves and everyone else are a huge hypocrisy and a massive double standard.

In 2008, former Senator John Edwards ran for president under the banner of there being “two Americas.” In his campaign, the philandering narcissist was attempting to differentiate between the rich and poor, claiming they exist in different worlds with separate rules. He was wrong, partially. There are two Americas with rules for both, but the divide isn’t rich and poor. It’s left and everyone else. Progressive Democrats set the rules for everyone else and a fluid, ever-changing set of nothings for themselves.
There are no standards to which Democrats will hold themselves. You can’t open your business, patronize establishments you deem essential, and countless other things the Democrats don’t want you to do. Of course, they can do all of them and more, but you need to shut up about it or else they’ll come for you. Just ask Erica Kious, the San Francisco salon owner now fearing for her life because Nancy Pelosi needed a blowout.
Kious made the mistake of pointing out how the Speaker of the House was able to do what normal Californians aren’t allowed to do, and now Kious and her business are under attack with the most powerful Democrat in the country accusing her of a “set up.”
Pelosi violated the rules, not Kious. But the left’s army of flying monkeys were unleashed on Kious within hours, with allegations about her business practices, political donations, and everything else you can imagine slamming down on her like an iron fist.
It reminded me of Joe the Plumber, who simply asked then candidate Barack Obama a basic question. Obama, famously, bungled the answer – embracing socialist tropes – and, within a couple of days, we knew more about Joe’s background than we still know about Obama’s (how did an admitted lazy student more interested in smoking weed with the Choom Gang than school work get into three of the most exclusive colleges on the planet, and how did he afford them?) Even Joe the Plumber's taxes were illegally leaked, and all he did was ask a question.
The Atlantic ran a story based on the word, or so we’re told to believe, of anonymous sources that President Donald Trump regularly insults the military. No one was willing to go on the record, afraid of mean tweets. Seriously. “They don’t want to be inundated with angry tweets and all the rest,” is what the author of the piece, who also happens to be the editor-in-chief, gave as the reason none of the alleged four sources would put their names to their quotes.
They’re all, supposedly, former administration officials, so they have nothing to hide and have no fear of losing their jobs. Yet they won’t put their name on it. That means there is literally no way to assess their claims, and no way to refute them. Contemporaneous accounts at the time, as well as every single person involved willing to go on the record, including Trump hating John Bolton in his book say it didn’t happen, but the media treats the story as if it were carved into stone tablets by a burning bush.
Tara Reade, the former Senate staffer who accused Joe Biden of digitally raping her in a private hallway in Congress, brought reams of back-up with her when going public, including much of it from the time (which could not be doctored) and the media yawned. A left-wing crackpot accuses the president of rape in the same time period, and she has the red carpet rolled out for her. She says some of the craziest things you can imagine and they’re ignored.
Donald Trump is called a draft-dodger, Joe Biden is not. Both received multiple deferments . Democrats are literally attacking people in the streets, straight-up murdering one Trump supporter, and destroying lives and businesses, but they’re described as “mostly peaceful.” A kid is under attack from a mob and shoots three, including one with a handgun, and he’s immediately called a “white supremacist” before the blood is dry. The killer in Portland goes into hiding, finally killed in a shootout with police weeks later. The shooter in Wisconsin was running for his life toward police, immediately turning himself in. One gets a softball interview with Vice News and is declared a martyr, the other is a monster. One shot a religious man walking down the street, the other shot people with disturbing criminal records on film trying to take his weapon and beat him. One victim is repeatedly called a “right-wing extremist,” the others (with criminal records ranging from domestic abuse to sexual assault) are called a “dad” and a “skateboarder.”
The president retweets something from someone else and the entire history of that person is unearthed, with anything “un-woke” they may have ever said being ascribed to the president. Joe Biden meets privately with a raging racist, anti-Semite father of a criminal shot after fighting with police, and ... crickets.
You pick the year, it doesn’t matter, and more white people are killed by police than every other race, usually combined. But not a single one of those lives matter, none make national news. Neither do Hispanics, by the way. But a black gang member with a gun in his hand running toward a cop after a foot chase gets shot and the ACLU calls it “murder” and the mob takes to the streets yet again.
The media accuse Republicans and Trump of trying to stoke fear, while declaring anything short of a landslide victory for Democrats will result in more violence . One hundred straight days of thousands of protests rampaging in the streets, and a “study” declares the liberal mob “mostly peaceful.” “ Over 90 percent of protests this summer were peaceful, report shows ,” declared one headline. Ten percent of thousands of events is a lot of violence and destruction. Well, the Titanic’s Atlantic crossing was largely uneventful, people just focus on the one part because they hate cruises, or something.
Barack Obama’s “magic pen” created laws without any left-wing pushback. In fact, Democrat members of Congress encouraged him to bypass them and their duty -- their damn jobs -- because they wanted the end result. President Trump does the same thing to repeal those unconstitutional declarations and he’s a monster abusing his power.
I could go on forever. There isn’t an issue where leftists aren’t held to a different standard than anyone else, or no standard at all. And this is happening when they aren’t in power. Just imagine how bad it would get if they were…
There are two Americas, and we’d better work like hell to make sure the America imposing hypocrisy on the country is crushed in November, or else it will crush us.

The only two America's are the past and the present. Some want to live in the past in their 1950's segregated white Christian suburbia where they didn't have to see any minorities, gays or Muslims walking their streets. The rest of America has moved on from such ignorant prejudice and realize that America was and still is a diverse melting pot that continues to strive to be a more perfect union with equality for all regardless of race, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, faith or lack thereof.
One America wants to conserve the hate, prejudice and ignorance of the past by simply pushing for more police crackdowns while they justify the murder of unarmed black men. They want to conserve the systemic racism by denying that it even exists. They want to conserve a fantasy 'white Christian culture' by disenfranchising minority voters with laws that target them with "surgical precision" according to the courts, intimidating minorities on the street, racially profiling all while welcoming white supremacists, white nationalists and Nazi's to vote along side them for their nearly all white candidates.
The other America wants to progress past this age old prejudice by acknowledging it, exposing it and making changes. They want to address the inequity and work together to find ways to overcome the deep seated biases towards people of color in our communities that some people seem to cling to like a security blanket. They want everyone to to have the same rights to marry, the same rights to buy a wedding cake, the same rights to walk down the street without being harassed, the same rights to get a loan or buy a house or use a public restroom. Democrats did not create two Americas, they're just the only party striving for a better America, a more perfect union, instead of fighting tooth and nail to keep some stale old useless white Christian patriarchy in power.

There is the America that the vast majority of citizens live in, love and strive to make even better.
Then, there is the sick and twisted version of an alternative America that theocratic dominionists, neo-fascist militias, hard core reactionaries and oligarchic plutocrats want to impose.
Donald Trump, and his sycophants and cultists, make common cause with the depraved alternative.
