It appears that the Democrat Party is only interested in power and chaos. Today’s Democrat leadership is controlled by Leftist factions angrily pushing issues that lack support from a majority of Americans: open borders, COVID lockdowns, defunding the police, refusing to enforce laws against theft and vandalism, releasing criminals without bail, and conversion from free market entrepreneurial capitalism to some kind of top-down socialism.
Update
An excerpt from an article about crime and Leftist leadership in Chicago:
Chicago’s elected leaders are Democrats. The public safety officials are Democrats. The Cook County state’s attorney is a Democrat. The teachers and professors are Democrats. The looters and arsonists and rapists and killers are Democrats. The vast majority of the voters, both actual and fictional, are Democrats.
Out of American cities with the highest murder rates, Democrats run 19 out of 20 of them. In contrast, America’s ten wealthiest congressional districts are made up of Democrats…
The problem with America isn’t flag-waving Bible thumpers wreaking havoc in the streets with a wink and nod from the likes of Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis. The problem with America is un-prosecutable criminals and perpetually aggrieved, meaninglessly degreed activism tourists wreaking havoc in the streets with a wink and nod from the likes of Joe Biden and Brandon Johnson.

The Leftists take care of their own… In case you missed it, two hard core Leftist politicians that were manifestly failures in their most recent vocations, have been hired by the educational bastions of Marxism:
Ousted left-wing prosecutor hired by Berkeley to run new legal clinic.
Ex-Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot headed to Harvard to teach.

Someone sent this to me, and I think it is a very reasonable summary:
- When Leftists speak of “equality” they mean the wholesale theft of wealth not created by them.
- When Leftists speak of “dignity” they mean forcing people to respect them even though their behavior has not earned them such respect.
- When Leftists speak of “liberation” they mean ignoring the rules of civilization that are required to create the wealth and peace they demand the right to enjoy.

Is there any surprise here?

Leave it to the creative American Leftists…
Update
The Democrats, Big Tech, and Government are focused on maintaining centralized control over our lives:
Government spending at all levels has risen to $10.3 trillion out of total U.S. GDP of $21 trillion. Much of that spending is directed toward “educating,” shaping, and intimidating individuals so that they become enthusiastic supporters of the State… Freedom is impossible when the State spends half of the money that should be in the hands of individuals.

Here is a natural follow-on to the Sam Harris comments. It is now more evident that the only enemies of the Left are the American citizens that don’t prostrate themselves to their government commanders:
Twitter employees cheered when President Donald Trump was kicked off their platform. At the same time, Twitter kept Iran’s Khomeini on the platform and backed BLM’s destruction of American cities.

You can talk until you are blue in the face about the mendacity and moral turpitude of the current Leftist movement in the United States. Interestingly, there is a recent commentary from an acknowledged philosophical leader of the Left that really captures the situation nicely:
Sam Harris admitted that censorship of the Hunter Biden laptop story during the 2020 election was indeed a left wing conspiracy to help Joe Biden get into the White House… He indicated that he hated Trump to such an extent that he wouldn’t have cared if Hunter Biden “had the corpses of children in his basement”.

More from the Left:
At least every Democrat-liberal-woke leftist wants to rule over his fellow man… They want you to get used to following orders: You will hate the police! You will submit your small children to gay sex instruction and transgenderism in school! You will discriminate in the name of equity! You will drive an electric car! And you will follow orders!
And, of course, you will give up your guns—you hateful, gun-toting country lout!
