America’s real insurrection is a long-term project of the country’s Democrats. It appears to have hit some snags, however. Maybe, as their carefully constructed facade begins to crumble, we’ll be able to save our republic after all.
The power and influence of the Democratic Party over the past two to three decades has been built on appearances. The legacy media, of course, are committed comrades and make it appear as if today’s party of the left is no different than it was in the days of John F. Kennedy. In truth, though, it is far more radical, blatantly anti-American, and outright corrupt.
We began to see how a party that’s disconnected from normal Americans has been able to stay in or close to power when the Department of Government Efficiency discovered last year that Washington created a taxpayer-financed slush fund in which nongovernmental organizations are lavishly subsidized for the welfare of insiders. Not all NGOs are profligate, but far too many have been “fronts for government activities that Americans would never stand for if Washington attempted them directly,” says University of Tennessee law professor Glenn Reynolds.
These activities line up snugly with the Democrats’ agenda, which is why they protest too much — their means for virtually printing money and consolidating political power was in danger.
