Today's Rant: The Gift that Modern Democrats have given us
The democrat party gave the world a lot of evil. In the late 1940s however, Harry Truman tried to reform the party into one supporting equality and America. JFK continued this, but Johnson turned the party away from that and started the "Power at any cost" party that the modern democrat party became.

People like Ronald Reagan were democrats once. "Ronnie" was a Truman campaign worker and a JFK supporter. Donald Trump was a democrat once. He was a what we called a "Constitutional Liberal" and I believe he still is.

The modern democrat party has turned its back on the reforms of Truman, Humphrey, and JFK. They have pushed out the Moral Liberals and Constitutional Liberals. And that is the gift they have given us. In today's environment JFK and Harry Truman would be considered Right Wing Extremists. But when you look closely, there is very little difference between the policies of JFK and those of Trump, and even less difference in the style of Harry Truman and Donald Trump.

By the democrats pushing all that is not hard left into the "right" camp they have given us Donald Trump and all that comes with him: The Fight, The Determination, and The Commitment to Keep his Campaign Promises. They have also pushed out enough people to give Trump the support he needs to accomplish his goals. They have pushed together the Constitutional Liberals and the Constitutional Conservatives into the same camp and then thrown in the Constitutional Libertarians as well... And we all back Trump because he is doing what we, the People, want.

You've managed to state the situation correctly as I see it, although in a way that I hadn't quite thought of before, and you've managed to do it it clearly and succinctly. Well said!

Excellent analysis, and absolutely true, as far as I can discern.

Amazing that this post lacked any reference to Woodrow Wilson The Grandfather of Modern Progressivism in America. His beliefs hinged around dismantling The Constitution and increasing the rule of Government.

Exactly correct. Wilson was also among the earliest proponents of eugenics, so he might be among Bill Gates’ heroes.

Why do you call this a “Rant”?
I would have used different words but I have said much the same thing.
LB Johnson changed the path of the Democrat Party and sent it in the direction it is going.
There was a time I was an Independent because ... though I despised politicians generally ... I could find some among both camps that seemed worth voting for ... or were the Lesser of Two Evils.

That is really no longer true.

I recall listening to LBJ's speeches. He would try to say "negro", but it would come out "niggero".
