Remember The Dim Party Of The 60S

The party of the 60s, though not what anyone would consider aligned with American Founding Values, still didn't hate the country, they were still traditional in their support of the nation, JFK believed in what would later be coined as Reaganomics, where tax cuts not only created prosperity but increased revenue for the US, as in more taxable income.

It wasn't until LBJ came on the scene that the party embraced division as a tactic to lock certain groups into supporting the left (Hence the killing off of the Black nuclear family of two-parent households.)

It was from this lesson the left began to expand "Divide and Conquer" tactics as we see in the coming years. From "Anyone over 30 is the enemy", the "Generation Gap" is what we referred to it as, though all it amounted to was, the left teaching kids that being radical, questioning values as well as cultural norms (Conservative Ideals) was the cool thing to do.

But you all know this, most of you, like me, experienced history firsthand, and most of us didn't accept it, especially the Hippie generation of "Anything Goes", "If it feels good, Do it".

These were the talking point messages of the day, though not everyone bought into them, corporate America stepped up its ad buys playing off the discourse in subtle ways. For example, as the late 60s, and early 70s rolled around, long hair was becoming the thing mainstream, so butch haircuts were out and longer was in thanks to the Beatles cut kicking it off.

My point is, corporate America enforced these changes, with ads like "The Wet Head Is Dead", no more Pomade, the long dry look would last for a couple of three decades.

But I digress, sorry for rambling.

Look at the Dim party today, it's a mere image of what it was just 8 short years ago, it's strength came from aligning extremist groups with one another, problem is, they created division within their own constituency, from hating Whitey, to capitalism is evil, and everything in between.

They failed to keep these groups cohesive within the party, add to that, their lies of loving the country while supporting ANTIFA, OWS BLM, all designed to attack the values of the nation and distancing themselves further from Core Principles/Values the Nation was founded on.
Even Fuglosi found it necessary to explain how the party loved capitalism, that's how bad it had gotten, so much so, their constituency had more in common with Marxism than our very way of life.
The base booed her over her claims of Capitalism is good.

Point is, the party used to theme itself on protecting Liberty, only to create special liberties for each and every group under their big tent, be it militant, or Snowflake, these groups began to clash, and there's no putting the smoke back in that burned out transformer, it's done cooked out.
In summary? The party you and I knew since the 60s is dead and gone, never to rise again, but what comes out of the ashes will take decades to coalesce into a working party again, if ever.

The only reason the party remains even remotely viable, even though it isn't, is both the leftist media needs it, and the gop'E needs someone to blame for their own increase in the debt. Yes, the Establishment needed the Dims to pass their pork-laden OMNIBUS Bill, for, without a viable Dim party, they'd have to explain why they are acting like the leftists they are.

So expect the gop'E to do its best to create the illusion the left is alive, when it truth, it's very much alive in the gop'E.

(gop'E = GOP' Establishment) Establishment being larger than the party itself at the moment. Currently, the RNC, Republican National Committee is the bigger enemy with its funding of new leftist candidates.

That was good stuff. The democrats made a strategic decision in the 60's and it is now tearing them apart.

Thanks.
Sure, JFK was not someone you would look to for moral leadership, but he at least understood the capitalist system and how govts' heavy hand could literally stifle growth or encourage industry or investment/savings.
But the Dims, have either lost any concept of how a working society functions, or simply don't give a damn, because once they break it, they decide what and who makes profit in their crony corporate, govt sponsored Marxist society.

Obozos Green Energy lie is a perfect example of picking winners and losers, (killing coal, Oil is evil) because they did exactly that, gave billions to crony leftist buddies, (think Solyndra) while the gop'E stood by hoping for a piece of the action, our so called 'gatekeeper' party, who is supposed to counterbalance the corruption coming from the left.
Yeah, the DNC is, for all intents and purposes, merely a placeholder for angry Fascists to claim a foothold on history, beyond that, they share nothing in common with the party of the 60s.
Then again, neither does the GOP.

JFK - proud Veteran, devout Christian, anti-taxes, lived by "ask not what your country can do for you....."

Today's leftists and dem party would hate his guts, and never allow him to run under their banner.

Of course he WAS the perfect democrat with his insatiable lust / pervert / freak / cheating-on-wife self,  big drugs taker, incompetent boob as shown by Bay of Pigs.  But they would still hate him for his beliefs.

Exactly Andy, the dim party has now flipped 180 from what it was just a handful of decades back.
Truth is, the gop'E doesn't use it in an Ad campaign against them because they too have essentially filled the Gap vacated by the Dim party and don't want people making the connection as to just how far left they've both moved in the process.

Case in point. Trump is trying to do taxcuts, but the leftist leadership RINO doesn't want actual cuts to their pork, but as a trade-off for Trumps Tax cuts, they want to spare Commiecare.
Looking back, it's easy to see how the Dims were taken over by Marxists, the gop'E didn't raise a finger to stop them and slid just as much left as did the Dim party.

The GOP was in the minority in congress for so long they became comfortable with the situation. The democrats were smart enough to throw the GOP some crumbs and the GOP remained silent. When the "folks" got tired of the situation they put the GOP in charge. Now GOPe does not know what to do with the majority, especially with more TEA movement followers in their ranks.

Yep, they wanted to remain in the minority.
I believe being minority was all part of the plan, (See OMNIBUS Bill).
The gop'E loved playing with the base and promising to fight the left and their socialist programs, only to wind up in power and prove they lied to the base at every turn.
I think they underestimated the base when we fought back against Marxism across the board, and they called us the enemy for it?
It's all unraveling under them as they head into a third and historically bloody midterm that not only killed the Dim party, but purges McCON-nels little Marxist power grab.
