The author argues that the party, which has allegedly \u200dundermined democracy by removing \u2063President Joe Biden due to his perceived senility, claims to champion freedom \u2062and rights while being responsible for significant societal divisions and governmental overreach.<\/p>\n<p>The piece highlights a perceived hypocrisy in the Democrats&#8217; rhetoric surrounding freedom, particularly in light of \u200daggressive measures \u200btaken during the COVID-19 pandemic\u2014such as lockdowns that disproportionately affected small \u2064businesses while allowing larger corporations to operate. It\u2062 also suggests that wealthy donors and corporate interests have significant influence over the party, exacerbating issues of inequality and power dynamics.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the author accuses the Democrats of creating a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/university-of-chicago-poll-shows-americans-distrust-of-their-own-government-extremely-high\/\" title=\"University of Chicago Poll Shows Americans Distrust of Their Own Government Extremely High\">toxic political climate<\/a> and projecting their failures onto opponents, specifically Donald Trump, whom they label a threat \u2062to democracy.\u200b The overall sentiment is \u2064one of \u2063frustration and\u200d disbelief at what the author perceives is the\u2063 Democratic Party&#8217;s\u200d manipulation \u2063of narrative while failing to address the\u200d consequences \u2063of their governance.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Asking Kamala Harris and Democrats to fix the mess they&rsquo;ve made over the past few years is kind of like asking <a href=\"https:\/\/www.publichealth.va.gov\/exposures\/agentorange\/conditions\/nonhodgkinslymphoma.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Agent Orange<\/a> to cure non-Hodgkin lymphoma.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Democratic National Committee, with the complicit assistance of the accomplice media, is spending the better part of this week in Democrat-destroyed Chicago proclaiming that the same party that through a soft coup removed its inconveniently senile leader is the sentinel of democracy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The packaged delusion begins where you might expect &mdash; the preamble to the 2024 Democratic Party platform.

The Democratic National Committee, with the willing support of a compliant media, is dedicating much of this week in Chicago\u2014an area heavily impacted by Democratic policies\u2014to assert that the same party that orchestrated a soft coup against its inconveniently senile leader is now the guardian of democracy. This manufactured delusion begins with what you might expect\u2014the introduction to the 2024 Democratic Party platform, which is mind-boggling from its very first paragraph.<\/p>\n<p>The preamble states: \u201cOur nation is at an inflection point. What kind of America will we be? A land of more freedom or less? More rights or fewer? An economy rigged for the rich and powerful, or one where everyone has a fair chance at success? Will we reduce political hostility and unite, or continue treating each other as adversaries?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>While it\u2019s true that this divided and disheartened republic stands at an &#8220;inflection point,&#8221; it\u2019s important to recognize that we\u2019ve arrived here due to the damaging actions taken by a mentally impaired Democrat president and his allies on the far-left. The same administration that has stifled First Amendment rights and undermined women\u2019s and parental rights cannot be seen as protectors of liberty. Those who have weakened checks on government power audaciously claim that another Donald Trump presidency would threaten democracy.<\/p>\n<p>The very leaders who enforced lockdowns during COVID-19\u2014shutting down schools, churches, and small businesses\u2014are now asserting that four more years under Democrat leadership will bring \u201cmore freedom\u201d and \u201cmore rights.\u201d Just ask Lisa Hanson about her experience; she was jailed for defying Minnesota Governor Tim Walz&#8217;s lockdown orders during COVID-19. Walz misused his pandemic powers like a tyrant, shutting down small businesses while allowing larger retailers to remain open.<\/p>\n<p>As for those deemed &#8220;rich and powerful,&#8221; many are funneling their wealth into supporting Democrats\u2014from Big Tech moguls to corporate executives aligned with progressive causes. Some may even have played roles in pushing President Joe Biden aside due to concerns over his cognitive decline when they pressured him either to withdraw from running again or face removal.<\/p>\n<p>A party that has weaponized federal law enforcement against its main political rival isn\u2019t likely going to ease political tensions anytime soon. Biden campaigned on unity but nearly four years later, division reigns supreme as he unleashes government resources against Donald Trump\u2014the target of relentless attacks from Democrats for almost ten years.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, just weeks before an assassination attempt on Trump\u2014a detail largely ignored by mainstream media\u2014Biden labeled him \u201ca genuine threat\u201d not only to freedom but also democracy itself.<\/p>\n<p>Despite all this turmoil stirred up by Democrats themselves regarding Trump&#8217;s supposed threats\u2014including claims about eroding democracy through lies\u2014they continue projecting their own failings onto others while maintaining high levels of political animosity.<\/p>\n<p>This week\u2019s Democratic National Convention will likely emphasize absurd claims about how those who have curtailed freedoms can somehow save democracy\u2014a notion as ludicrous as placing Kamala Harris in charge of addressing border crisis root causes. Instead of holding a convention focused on messaging strategies alone, perhaps what they truly need is some self-reflection<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":656,"featured_media":2327312,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Screenshot-2024-08-20-at-1.02.21-AM.png","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[38649,38648,38647,38650,33017],"class_list":["post-2327311","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-bad-guys","tag-delusions","tag-democrat-platform","tag-party-ideologies","tag-political-analysis"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Screenshot-2024-08-20-at-1.02.21-AM.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2327311","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/656"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2327311"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2327311\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2327312"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2327311"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2327311"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2327311"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
