The Democratic Party Has Flipped Its Whig

(Jun. 8, 2026) — If one nodded off during US History class, then the Whig Party might be a big “Huh?”

The Whig Party was a major American political party from 1834-1850. Its demise is now a footnote in American history and the current Democratic Party is wobbling towards that same precipice. Where the Democratic Party arguably once was a “Big Tent Party” fighting for the little guy, it is now staggering towards becoming a Party of Socialism which is simply a facade for Communism. Their sole platform is “Power at Any Cost,”^™ and they will crush anyone in their path towards permanent American political power. The Democratic Party is nothing more than a tribe which fires Sumter-sized shells at any opposition.

Say hello to the Democratic Party, the Borg of Borgs. Elected Congressional Democrats are members of the Borg Collective who goose-step to the Party line of the moment. Resistance is futile and the Party is increasingly flooded with antisemites, pro-terrorist Hamas supporters, Nazi/communists (the same thing), sanctuary sycophants, Squad and fraud exploiters. With the exception of one Democrat, they chortle the exact same lines on the MSM and vote exactly the same way. They have an army of enforcers who riot and burn cities “in mostly peaceful protests.” Antifa and Indivisibles are the muscle of the Socialist Democrat Party, who are the New Brownshirts financed by billionaires such as the Soroses and Neville Roy Singham, who is bunkered in Shanghai. The Party of JFK is dead and buried.

Not too long ago in a galaxy not too far, far away, You-Know-Who wrote a book blaming the Jewish People for all of humanity’s misfortunes including hangnails. Pretty kooky stuff until people started believing this tripe, which eventually resulted in six million people being slaughtered until America rode to the rescue. Zappa’s “It Can’t Happen Here” satirically says it can, and the mutating Democratic Party is daily gaining adherents embracing antisemitism as history begins to echo. Jews are now regularly threatened, denied entry, beaten and even the Prescott “Mayberry in the Mountains” police have to protect Sabbath services every week.

The Democratic Party is embracing this hatred as a path to power. The most powerful Democrat, Chuck Schumer, is Jewish but is too chicken to stand up to the rising tide of Democrat fanatical Hamas-lovers. Hatred of Jews has been a path to power for tyrants, and the Democratic Party is no longer an exception.

The Iron Boot of Democratic Party Communism Socialism is infecting major American cities. Zohran the Magnificent was elected New York City Mayor through the scam of promising free stuff. His latest magic trick is for his government to steal apartments from the landlords and give them to the tenants. Government grocery stores will put neighborhood stores out of business until the shelves are eventually barren like the food stores in the Soviet Union. Enjoy your Cuba Libre, amigo! Similar monstrosities are festering in virtually every Democrat-run city. Comrades, the Democratic Party marches forward to trample the little guy.

The destruction of the New Democratic Party started with President Obama. His Machiavellian rise to power was achieved by pitting American against American along racial and economic divides. He squandered his historic opportunity to bring racial healing. He badmouthed America at every chance. He birthed Obamacare which was doomed to failure, hoping to achieve a Great Britain-type socialized medicine whose crowning achievement is euthanasia. All we got for this is his Brutalist, Klingon prison-like monstrosity called the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago.

There was a brief reprieve with President Trump’s first term of office, but election fraud and Covid fraud gave us Joe Biden who was suffering from onset dementia. The Democratic Party’s Whig-out started burning rubber as Biden committed probable Treason by opening America’s borders to twenty million Illegals. The Democratic Party was now free to abandon its traditional base consisting of Blacks, Jews, Latinos, and Workers in favor of the Illegals who would be permanently beholden to the Democratic Party begging for handouts. This is evidenced by the riots against ICE, which is simply enforcing the Law to deport Illegals who should not be here. Biden or whoever controlled his AutoPen regularly launched attacks on the American People using lawfare against anyone critical of the morphing Democratic Party. Biden targeted Christians, DEI deniers, critics of transgender men in women’s sports and anyone opposed to the sexual mutilation of children.

The Democratic Party is showing its contempt for America and the US Constitution. Gerrymandering is different from redistricting, but Democrats are masters of gerrymandering as they accuse the Republican Party of merely redistricting. The six New England states are approximately 40% Republican yet have 0% Congressional seats. Look at the Congressional map of Illinois and you will see the definition of gerrymandering. The Supreme Court just struck down Louisiana’s unconstitutional congressional map based simply on racial grounds.

The Republican Party redistricted maps are based on changing demographics. As a result, there is chortling by the Democratic Party that they will enlarge the Supreme Court to thirteen members which will make it a quasi-Legislative branch of government. They will make DC and Puerto Rico states, giving the New Democratic Party four additional beholden Senators to the Cause. This is nothing but a drive to create permanent Democratic Party control of government. In a more reasonable time, the addition of Hawaii and Alaska as states was a compromise to keep the balance of power where Hawaii is Democrat and Alaska is Republican. Compromise is now a four-letter word to the Democratic Party.

Their bombardment of rhetoric is that Republicans are evil, especially President Trump. Their tone of radical invective is a dog whistle for the unhinged to commit crimes for the Party. There have been three assassination attempts against President Trump, Charlie Kirk has been murdered and Luigi Mangione has done his thing. Anyone who disagrees with the New Democratic Party is called a Nazi. This is known from personal experience. Speaking of Nazis, how about the nipple Nazi, Graham Platner, who is running for the US Senate in Maine? The Democratic Party is creating a weird membership that is a cross between “Lord of the Flies,” “1984” and “Animal Farm.”

California is a One-Party Paradise where election results take up to a month, which invites fraud to get the results desired by the California Democratic Machine. Republicans are regularly shut out through their Jungle Primary. The Democratic Party desires this to spread to all the other states, especially after they abolish the Electoral College where the President would be permanently elected by big Liberal cities and large Democrat states.

The Democratic Party needs to go the way of the Whig Party or the Bull Moose Party, emphasis on the Bull. The best way is for the Electorate to realize the dangers of what it has become and vote them out of office. Even better is to leave the Democratic Party. I left them after a lifetime of membership when the Democratic Party went “Gone With the Wind.” You can, too.

As an aside, an Arizonan registered as an Independent can request a Republican ballot in the upcoming Primary. Your homework assignment is to remove Governor Katie Hobbs, who advertises herself as an Uber driver. Let’s put her back in that driver’s seat.

Have a happy “Non-Gestating Parents” Day to all you Fathers out there.
