IME OF THE BABYLONIAN CAPTIVITY FOR DEMS? In an increasingly bitter and lost time for national Democrats, their party seems to have entered a morass of confusion, accusations, recriminations and agony amidst a deepening ID crisis. Directly before the Inauguration, the party from the highest levels has bought off on a plan to attempt to delegitimize not just the president, but by implication the GOP itself and the very core motions of conservatism.
A Time of Democrat Babylonian Captivity? It would seem the very act of delegitimization takes a very dubious position that if the left loses power, then they themselves instantly morph into a wise-uncle who owns all definitions and authority and legitimacy. But having lost every lever of power nationally and increasingly at a state level, how can the DNC claim hyper-legitimacy when the people themselves have arisen to throw them off? Unless they reject the very premises of constitutional democratic republicanism itself?
So is this effort a massive self-destruct button for a bet that they will destroy not just Trump & GOP but the entire system itself and in self-destruction purge the disease and then emerge reborn to run the world, just like uncle Marx foretold?
