Chucky Shumer, the Democratic Senator from New York and majority leader in the Senate, says that it is time for bold change in America! Change you say? What is your real motive for change Mr. Shumer? You don't care about progressive ideology, you have sat in Washington for four decades, suddenly you are a spokesman for the new political winds for change. We don't buy it! You are a political chameleon, changing your spots as you divorce your agenda from any concern for all Americans, not just the new guys. In our time, your sudden rebirth as a progressive socialist says that your first concern is for Democratic political power, regardless of the costs that you dump on we 75 million. There was a time not long ago when politicians at least mouthed a loyalty to country above party. Where has the loyal opposition gone?
The new agenda from the radical left is a very old agenda. The radicals are pushing upon us an autocracy, a body politic that rears it's ugly head in many forms. Simply put, it is the top down rule by the political elites or one elitist, over the lives of we little people, which means to the elites, all the people. The power hungry elitists of our American moment are the Democrats, primarily the Democratic Party leaders such as Chucky. Their only agenda is to change America into their fiefdom, where the sole viable political party has absolute control over the people. I will not bore you with examples from history and the present worldwide conflicts but America has been the body politic, that has had the most success at avoiding such top down authoritarian control. That is, until 2020.
Now, in Schumer's changed America, after cheating their way into power by insisting on no name voters in the wake of the China virus, the new politics of our time is taking drastic actions to cement their control. Cementing control is best achieved, in their world, by making America Poor. They say to themselves, governmental control of our national means of production should do the trick. The new American "elitists" shall decide or authorize economic winners and losers, as long as they pay their fair share to the government and pledge allegiance. People of both parties, Democrat and Republican, wake up, you have been duped. As an example that will foreshadow the future, don't you see how Democratic leadership has twisted the Covid 19 response in so many Democratic states? The biggest lie of the 21st century is, "we are all in this together"! No way! The government decides who will be paid to sit at home and who will have their lives destroyed economically by closing only certain businesses.
Flooding our country with the very poor illegal "refuge seekers" is plan "B". These folk will surely repay national openness with their votes to Democrats well into the future, so goes the Democratic elites playbook. It is of no concern to the elites that an invasion of the poor and uneducated will bloat our welfare system and drive down the wages of working people. Our taxes will skyrocket as we all become poor, except of course, those of us who are feeding on the government. Can an open borders policy be anything other than another Democratic ploy to Make America Poor and thereby make opposition to the government nigh unto impossible? To those simplistic voters who voted for Biden in 2020, to those voters who believe an open border will not affect them, the Democrats and their trickle down poverty economics will come for you next!
Then there is plan "C". Socialism as the ultimate authority in our lives is only popular among the few. To gain and perpetuate socialist control, the power brokers must paint themselves as the good guys while painting anyone who disagrees with them as evil conspirators to be feared. Their reliance on childish name calling, character assassination, racial warfare, class warfare and income inequality are a natural fit for scaring big questions out of a dubious populace. The deployment of 20.000 troops in Washington also sends the same ready message. Soon the threats will escalate to enforcement, fines, imprisonment or the Schumer agenda may employ poisoning as they do in Russia. Who, pray tell, are the extremists? Are our free speech advocates really the extremists?
How about plan "D"? The Schumer, Democratic Party, Socialist plan is to trash our traditional democratic priorities, the American Constitution and our national elections. America now smells! The Constitution has been under attack for decades, particularly since Roe verses Wade. Our new elites care not to understand the priorities of the Constitutional Congress, only to make adjustments and additions to fit their social and political norms. Anyway, the Constitution is irrelevant, so they say, a mere ancient text written by and for a bunch of racists, how can it be valuable? So goes the new leftist rational, to them, tradition is an evil to be purged.
As unjust as this change may be, as tragic as it is, the Schumer agenda for change is working and America will probably be doomed to wallow in the feces of a totalitarian autocracy forever. Gone are the priorities of our ancestors who prized liberty above all else!
