Growing up, my parents were Democrats. In Oklahoma and other rural states, they were the party of the people. Nikita Khrushchev said he would destroy this country from within. He found an accomplice in the Democratic Party. Now, he and his ghost own them.
Democrats have become the party of Khrushchev.
That is not a victory for Republicans. It is a casualty for
America. We needed and still need two strong, pro-American parties. We need fiscal conservatives to keep our
spending in line, while maintaining the generosity that comes with compassion
for the least among us.
These don’t always fall along party lines. It’s better when
both parties are known for prioritizing what is best for the nation and its
people rather than just their party. We once knew a time when we could disagree
on an issue but not be divided as a country.
This time around, it’s the Democrats that need our
prayers. Somehow, the mindset that a
country in ashes is preferable to one in the hands of our current president has
taken hold. That’s pushing the bounds of treason. That’s what Khrushchev hoped
for—probably more than he imagined.
It’s time to American Up. Give Trump some support in
restoring our republic. Give DoGE some support. They are working for us all.
For us!
Remove hate from the equation altogether. Let’s get this
country back on track. Only an evil ruler (party) would desire to burn their
own country to the ground so as to rule over the ashes. Sun Tzu probably didn’t
say it, but it applies here.
I am not happy with the Republican Party either. Much of the
fraud and abuse that we are uncovering occurred under the less watchful eyes of
both parties. Whether by design or by complacency, neither standard stands
under scrutiny.
But we need a party that leans to the liberal and
progressive side for balance. Balance in
politics helps us love our country and countrymen while disagreeing with
another lawmaker or administrator.
We need the British Loyal Opposition without it becoming the
Bell Cow of Discontent that sometimes deludes thinking into treasonous acts.
Differences are good and healthy. Politics often leads to
compromise, but if we could convince each other that we act out of love for our
country, rather than hate for one man or a party, we might find synergy and
solutions that have eluded us for two centuries.
I will extrapolate from Churchill’s 1947 quote and note that
we have the worst country in the world, except for all the others.
The United States of America has been a great place to live
for 250 years. We didn’t get everything right the first time around. Our
Constitution is great, surely with some divine inspiration included, but it didn’t
always hit the target.
There is work to be done across so many areas. We can’t
accomplish much as adversaries. We are not supposed to be enemies. Trust the
system that divides power among federal branches and federal and state
governments, while retaining many rights for the individual.
It’s a wonderful formula, but it takes work and vigilance.
We have been lazy and distracted over the past few decades. That must change.
Let’s support Trump and his team as he fulfills the promises
he made to the American people. It is healthy! It is the way of this republic. It
is the natural swing of the pendulum and does not need to be contested at every
turn.
Let’s support efforts to restore the Democratic Party as the
Party of the People or some similar focus that might cause some friction with
Republicans but not an acrimonious state.
We are known as the Grand Experiment, but the protocols have
been ignored for too long. We are off track. Experiments take focus and
discipline if we are to learn and grow from them.
I pray that we do.
Khrushchev, you can hit the road. My parents didn’t invite you
into their party. They were people who didn’t mind getting their hands dirty
but kept their hearts clean. They had solid American values.
They loved America, and I am blessed to have learned how to
love a country from them, two solid Americans and Democrats.
I want their party back.
