re: How many life-long Dems on this site are appalled that their party is becoming Marxist?

Is this a question from 1966?
It looks like a question from 1966.

Moot point, moot thread.
You’re not going to elicit legit responses when you have non-Dems jumping in with their insults and opinions.
It’s unfortunate, because I’d like to hear from them (life-long Dems) too.
I voted democrat in every election in my life and had full on TDS for a while during this admin. What changed was the Mueller report. I had been lead to believe by the democrats and other liberals that we were on the verge of the greatest political scandal in US history and it resulted in nothing. It was a farce and a lie. I had imagined that Trump and his supporters were all paranoid fools for saying that a deep state existed and that it was going to try and take him down. They were right, it exists and with Mueller, then the Ukraine impeachment and now the Russia bounty "scandal" they've shown that they exist and are doing everything to maintain control of the country. They see the common voter as the enemy.
I started to look at Trump and realize that while his personality isn't exactly pleasant, in terms of governance he's been good to the working and middle class, wants to end pointless wars and regime change and cares about not having an open border. The way the DC establishment and media has gone after him for having the audacity to speak the truth about various taboos is disturbing to me. The democrats and the media have become a party that wants me to not believe what I see with my own eyes. "There aren't that many immigrants here and even if there are they're good people who do not take away jobs and don't drive down wages" "The Covid virus is spreading because of white families going to restaurants and not black and woke white kids grouping by the thousand to set fires" "free healthcare can be achieved without raising middle class and working class taxes" "the way to deal with rising temperatures is to implement policies that just happen to target our political enemies."
There's more to it but that's the general thought process. I know I'll get downvoted for even admitting being a dem but I wanted to give you an honest answer to an honest question.

I used to listen to Rush Limbaugh and he suggested that on the other side there were those who hated this country and they wanted to change it to something else. He indicated they would try to erase or sully the founders and their history in an effort to delegitimize the US. I didn't really buy it but his assessment at the time but his prediction looks to be spot on as things are unfolding now. I don't know how we stop them but I suspect they will be stopped at some point. I could go on about this but won't other than to say our country took a turn for the worse when the good guys lost the universities. Now the media, Silicon Valley/social media gurus and a number of billionaire business men (Amazon types) are all firmly in the progressive camp. It's tough rowing against this current.

Zero.
Democrats must give up shame and common sense.

I wonder if woke Progressive Dems would throw all Republicans into gulags if they knew they could get away with it? The hatred they display is disturbing.

They don't care as long as their personal fortunes are not disturbed and money continues to roll in to their campaigns bank accounts. By the time they realize what's happened, it's going to be too late.

How many lifelong democrats even KNOW their party has gone full-bore Marxist? Or why that would matter?

So burning shite down, changing our entire language into weasel words and sanctioning disagreement by stalking people down until they are fired or lives are ruined, drag queens doing strip teases for 8 year olds during story time, spreading myths about cow farts that threaten to ruin our economy, are positive cultural shifts?

Not a Dem but both parties support a socialist system. Public education, municipal services for just about every need, corporate subsidies, government ownership of private enterprises, and more. What industry does the USA have that doesn’t always have their hand out to the government?

What’s funny is a bunch of people on this board claiming not to be racist because they like to watch black men entertain them on Saturday/Sunday, but discredit them anytime they speak up on racism they experienced.
What The frick?
So watching, cheering and paying athletes millions of dollars is racist?
Nobody is forcing anyone to be an athlete man, they can quit at anytime if they have it so bad.
Look bad shite happens to everyone at some point. Some people seem to think that only bad stuff happens to one race which is absolutely false.

Of course not. Racist are being called out for the world to see and they can’t take it lmao. There is a reason why they hate social media
Calling people "racist" is what left wing progressive marxists do when they cannot win the war of ideas. Labeling opponents as racist is all people like yourself have left.

Learn the difference between a "public good" and a "non public good".

Isn't that the truth? Ideological purity is a narrow, elusive, and ever- shifting goal-post.
Communism.
One minute you're in power, making laws, tearing down statues, changing building and street names, ordering arrests, signing executions, and in the next-it's a pick axe to the skull in Mexico like Trotsky or a couple of bullets in the back of your head in the basement of the Lubyanka-for all your commitment, hard work, and troubles.
The Democratic Party needs to think long and hard about what and who they've unleashed.

False premise. Hard to have a decent convo with lying leftist arse holes.

The New Left (Little Red Book thumpers) from the riots surrounding the 1968 Chicago Democratic Convention are now the DNC.
It was a transition that has taken two generations to reach the Marxist lunacy we see now.
