Ordinary Fascism 4.0: Forrest Dems
By Mark Uchine
Trump did not win; the Dems lost. They behaved like Forrest Gump on meth.
::::::::
" Do not argue with the stupid. He will drag you to his territory and beat you with experience"
Mark Twain
" Do not try to find any sense when the intent is self- evident"
Persian Saying
" You have no imagination. That's why you are always number two. Always on the defensive."
The Italian Job movie
The party of Democrats betrayed their own country, surrendered it to the fascists and did that out of sheer stupidity. But it was a specific kind of stupidity, the intentional one. It came from that very lack of imagination. They thought they were smart and beat the GOP on the Republican territory; they outsmarted themselves and castrated their own cause and resources. In sorts they performed a hara-kiri. Trump didn't win- the Forrest Dems lost. They behaved like Forrest Gump on meth.
History of the Demparty's activities since Reagan came to power can be defined by one and only message to the public , "Everything they ( GOP) can do, we can do better." They assumed the 'a**hole position', the voluntary number two, and for nearly forty years dragged themselves behind the GOP, betraying everyone and anything whether on foreign or domestic fronts. And they were such whiners every time they lost that their whimper could be heard on the Moon.
Who was the Dem candidate in 1980? It was Jimmy Carter. Dig into the media of those times and you will see how the Demparty sold its candidate to the wolves. The very similar development took place this year, btw. In the Reagan's times as well as in this year, the GOP demonstrated ruthlessness, deliberation and 'passionate intensity' in the strife to win, while the Dems behaved as if they did a favor to their candidate by a half- ass support. It was pathetic then and it was even more pathetic this time. A very good reference comes to mind. According to Gore Vidal's " Lincoln", once Lincoln's cabinet gathered without him during the Civil War. It was a peculiar group of people of very different values and they were all worried about the way the war developing so far. Then Salmon Chase said,
-We will win this war and you know why? Because we have Lincoln. Each of us here considers a possibility that South may win and how he will live in that case. But not Lincoln. He does not recognize such a possibility. He bonded his life with the Union and if the Union falls, so will he. He will fight to the death, there is no other outcome for him and because of that we will prevail. We are truly blessed to have him.
What a stark difference when compared to the current spineless Forrest Dems!
There is a self- evident law of war and politics that the one who wins is not the smartest or most ruthless, neither the most powerful and strong. The one who wins is the most deliberate one, who truly believes in the cause of the fight and never deviates. Churchill is famous for his saying ,"If Hitler would have invaded Hell, I would have fought for Lucifer". That's the conviction of the winner. That's how battles are won. Dems had failed miserably in that. Their cowardice destroyed the country.
Cowardice begets the moronic evil. Dems knew how stupid and dangerous Reagan was but they never called him stupid and dangerous. As a result he became a saint. Dems knew what kind of a person Bill Clinton was when he ran for Presidency but they never tried to find a candidate with more integrity, although by that time there was a lot of good people in the party. They knew what kind of a person George W Bush was, though not only Clinton undermined his own candidate, but Lieberman and Miller became 'the GOP people in the Demparty'. In the crucial moment of the Florida recount the Dems , when they found that 20000 voters were disenfranchised, did nothing; they said it was 'a NAACP problem'. Vincent Bugliosi published his famous article "Nobody Dares to Call it Treason", and what did the Dems do? Absolutely nothing. They were paralyzed by the molecular fear. Meanwhile, even now, after their great victory, local GOP organizations pursue recounts in many places where Dems won, fighting to the death. That's the spirit.
"Organized force must be confronted by an organized force", said Albert Einstein. The Dems are anything but organized. They habitually snatch the defeat out of the jaws of victory.
Whoever betrays on one issue will surely betray on all others. Dems knew that Desert Storm was the result of the provocation: the US practically pushed Saddam Hussein to attack Kuwait, deceiving him on every turn. They did nothing. Moreover, Clinton authorized the barbaric sanctions, which killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqi children while Iraq surely at that time was not a threat to anyone.
Dems knew that the Yugoslavian shameful pogrom was the result of the US and Western European malicious intent to destroy the only remaining successful socialist country in Europe. The US deliberately aligned itself with the Croatian separatists, the former fierce collaborators with Hitler. In the Y2014 the US and Western Europe repeated the same disgusting trick, collaborating with the Ukrainian Nationalists, the worst possible group, openly promoting vehement bigotry, hate and praising the former collaborators with Hitler. It was all in the name of destroying 'the ghost of socialism', the primary goal of all grifters , no matter which party they belong to. In both cases it resulted only in destruction, mayhem and hate. Kosovo and Ukraine , formerly flourishing territories, are now the most desolate places in Europe. Starting from the 1990s the Demparty of the US had obtained the label of the 'party of war'.
This backfired spectacularly in the Y2001 and Y2003, during Afghanistan and Iraqi wars. Both were unleashed under the false pretense. Both were based on lies. Colin Powell openly lied to the whole world from the UN Assembly pulpit. If Dems were a party of peace by that moment, they could seize the moment and triumph over the treacherous GOP behavior. But they were a party of war. They cowardly and stupidly supported the crime against Humanity. Did they get anything from that? Only the contempt. I remember the horrible scene in Congress when senator Byrd, a Republican (!) protested against the Iraq resolution and Hillary Clinton supported it. Payback is a b*tch. Now the most popular adjective added to her name is 'crooked' and nobody defends her. Trump the imbecile- in- power, labeled her and nothing can be done about it. What an irony!
The US killed about one million people in Iraq and unaccountable number of people in Afghanistan. The grotesque concentration camp in Gitmo exists until today. Dems brushed it away as if nothing happened and unleashed new devastating wars during the Obama period. It was bizarre to watch Hillary Clinton sort of spreading the black wings over the region, killing, maiming, destroying and scheming, screwing the US reputation forever. Trump did not come out of nowhere; he is a child of malice and treachery.
During the 2016, 2020 and 2024 campaigns Dems engaged in their usual practice of cowardice and stupidity. They effectively eliminated the best candidates of their own party. Both Hillary and Biden were not the good choice by any means. There were so many opportunities to stop Trump, that it seems surrealistic that he won at the end. But it was not his luck; it was Dems aiming for the defeat from the start. When Biden was elected (to his surprise) and Trump practically committed treason, nobody was really punished. Moreover, the people who risked their lives, the clerks who saved the certification documents, were never rewarded or even promoted. In fact, nobody was rewarded for loyalty and courage. The January 6 investigation went nowhere. Biden did not rescind main Trump's doings: the Space Force exists until today. Dems played right into the GOP hands when they abandoned the progressives. They also abandoned their own achievements. ACA, one of the greatest improvements from the Obama period was not mentioned in their campaigns at all.
Karl Marx in his textbook article "The 18th of Brumeire of Louis Bonaparte" explained in details the mechanism of the President becoming an Emperor. The US is following that template so far down to the letter. One of the striking symptoms of the deterioration of the democracy is the engagement of the seemingly democratic groups in the petty bickering. On this Dems take a cake. They are still pointing fingers at each other and at the public, while the Damocles' sword of Trump is hanging right over their heads. They sold us for the Essau's soup but got no soup, just poison.
There is no schadenfreude in my heart, only love and grief. This is a great country, the US; it deserves to be ruled by the democratic college of the honest and honorable, not by the cabal of nutty grifters. God, save us from harm.
