..... "They blame the Dems because that’s the only way to keep their base engaged. BTW...their base knows it’s not the Dems, but they play along because they have no reason to vote red except for racism and stupid identity/culture war issues... and they won’t admit to the racism." DENY! DENY! DENY!, Bill Clinton taught the "sheep" well. America’s racist baggage today is the Legacy of the Good Ole Democrat Party. The reality is, how America and Americans view race presently is a direct result of the beliefs/policies of a corrupt, oppressive, perverted, vile democratic system. Many of the liberals who rally around Biden and the flag probably don’t actually have a principled opposition to war. But what about those who do? They are trapped in the cognitive dissonance produced by one of America’s fundamental political falsehoods: that the Democratic Party is opposed to war. Indeed, all of the major U.S. wars in the 20th century—World War I, II, Korea and Vietnam—were entered by Democratic administrations. Harry Truman, a Democrat, is still the only world leader to use a nuclear bomb on a population. When they’re out of power, Democrats loudly and publicly oppose war on principle, are all used to produce a false history of Democratic opposition to military intervention and war. But in fact, whenever they get a chance to vote on it, a majority of Democrats in power turn out to be hawks. This is not to say that Republicans are in any way preferable to Democrats. Rather that the narrative that the Republicans have historically been the party of war, and Democrats all peace-loving doves is an absurd fiction, and it’s a false narrative that keeps winning the Democrats the votes and loyalty of people who should know better. It’s important to face this fact squarely: in the 20th century, it was the Democratic party that was the more aggressive pursuer of foreign wars. You can make whatever claim you like about historical contingency, necessity, or immediate context. None of them should convince anyone that the Democrats, as a party, are opposed to war. They are a party of warmongers. Many of the young anti-war Democrat voters have not learned a hard lesson: when you put your faith, energy or activism into electing Democrats, no matter what domestic policy you support, you’re also putting your weight behind militarism, a crackdown on civil liberties, and foreign wars of aggression. The surprising thing is how, despite it all, many continue to hope for change from the Democratic Party. The only Democratic president who failed to start one or more wars was the much-denigrated Jimmy Carter. So, it is Joe Biden’s turn at the wheel. One has to question the philosophy of government that he brings with him as he has never found a war that he didn’t support and several of his cabinet choices are undeniably hardliners on what they refer to as national security. The lobbies are also putting pressure on Biden to do the “right thing,” which for them is to continue an interventionist foreign policy. DENY, DENY, DENY, - it's the Democrat "Duty"
