The Sociopathic Democratic PartyDemocrats are power hungry and will do anything to get and maintain power, that includes cheating, lying, stealing, if necessary.

Parties from principle, especially abstract speculative principle, are known only to modern times . . . what madness, what fury can beget such unhappy and such fatal divisions? . . . This principle, however frivolous it may appear, seems to have been the origin of all religious wars and divisions. As no party, in the present age, can well support itself without a philosophical or speculative system of principles annexed to its political or practical one, we accordingly find, that each of the factions into which this nation is divided has reared up a fabric of the former kind, in order to protect and cover that scheme of actions which it pursues.
That profound sentiment comes right from the lips of the father of the Scottish Enlightenment himself, David Hume, circa 1742. It is chock full of insight for our own times. And the practical reason of that era formed the background context for the American founding, much as Scotland itself was the origin of the modern era by inventing, law, economics, science, technology, medicine and unleashing the power of the market.
In contrast, the American Democratic Party’s principles derive from the French Revolution, not the American founding—hence the disregard for the founding (we are a republic not a democracy, the rule of law, the Electoral College, traditional practices in the Senate, checks and balances, and all the rest). Instead it postulate the existence of an overall collective good, Rousseau’s general will; what Oakeshott calls an “enterprise association” to which every person and every institution is subject. It believes that the general will is equivalent to the majority will (against what Rousseau said, but consistent with Maximilien Robespierre, Louis Antoine de Saint-Just, and current European practice). This is what Tocqueville and J.S. Mill warned against in the 19th century, and Jacob Talmon, with great accuracy after World War II, repeated it in the later part of the 20th century.
Majorities can be temporarily mistaken and misled (e.g., voting for Republicans) so public opinion needs to be reimagined and periodically enlarged by freshly arrived people (hence “open” borders for the “wretched” but not for potential meritocrats), properly educated (higher education as indoctrination), and properly informed (uniform mainstream media, Hollywood, Google, and general censorship).
If there is a majority then there is also a minority and the latter must be oppressive because it is either mistaken or evil, and therefore it should be demonized (a toxic masculine, white male, epitomized by the horrible Donald Trump). Hence, the race-based deprivations of livelihood, freedom of speech, and property deprivation (at this moment limited to job dispossession or targeted for some deviation from right-think and dismissed on grounds of so-called hate speech).
This one mindset of Democratic thinking inspires lying, playing the victim, false innuendos, political correctness, virtue signaling, deception, and subversion. These are the tools and hallmarks of today’s Democratic elite. Thus anti-social behavior is normalized to disrupt the social order and a lack of any sense of moral responsibility or conscience.
The Democrats can’t even admit they are sick.
