With the now half-cracked Democratic Party everything is " identity politics " and President Donald Trump is the ultimate scapegoat for ever flaw in " OUR democracy ".
In the 2016 election both Trump and Bernie Sanders were attracting large enthusiastic crowd by openly acknowledging a crisis of confidence in the bipartisan political establishment, in the TWO PARTY system.
The surprising Trump victory - made possible by working class disaffection with the once pro-labor Democratic Party in those critical Rust Belt states - made the loyal Democrats apoplectic with RAGE . For two and a half years RAGE is doing their thinking and speaking for them.
In making every day a CRISIS OF LEGITIMACY for the Trump presidency THEY are showing contempt for the rule of law. The crazed Democratic Congress is above the law ?
No fan of Donald Trump and a more traditional Democrat, legal scholar Alan Dershowitz is right to attack the party of FDR and JFK as promoting the New McCarthyism.
All that talk about President Trump obstructing justice is nonsense in the context of Kafkaesque Mueller Russia investigation. There was no TREASON here to motivate any obstruction of justice.
Making Trump out to be the root of all evil spoiling " OUR democracy " is to forget that he too is just a moment in time . I would be surprised myself if he can endure eight whole years in the White House .
Back in power what will the Democrats DO when they don't have Trump to kick around anymore ? They are presently an ideological mess - certainly nowhere near " democratic socialism ".
