Who created the modern Democrat Party? It is an interesting question because the Dems are clearly in utter disarray at this point in history. The Democrat Party for most of my life was the Party of the working man (at least nominally) and championed mainstream civil rights. The GOP was more traditional and more aspirational in upward mobility.
Both the Democrats and the GOP Parties I have known most of my life are gone, utterly destroyed. Both were done in by Trump. The GOP has slowly, and at times reluctantly, pivoted to Trump's populism and it is working. The Dems are lost.
So why, and who created the modern Dem Party?
In my mind in all goes back to Obama. He said he wanted to "fundamentally transform America." However, he never defined this, nor did the media (in Obama's pocket), ever ask him what it meant. Obama's vision in my view was cultural Marxism. Redistribution of wealth, intersectionality, dependence on the State versus individualism ( Jane with the Government holding her hand throughout life), and the erosion of Family, Faith, and Personal identity. All those lines must at first be blurred and then destroyed.
It is no secret Obama terribly hurt the Democrat Party during his Presidency. Over 1000 State House seats flipping from Dem to GOP, losing 63 Congressional House seats in his first Mid-term (One of the biggest shellackings in American History) and 35 seats in his second Mid-term.
And Obama and his people were running the White House during Biden's disastrous Presidency (Susan Rice et al). So, where will the Democratic Party go? Can they abandon Obama's Marxist vision and tack back into the American Mainstream, or do they stay in the wilderness?
