Democratic governance has been a disaster for America. The Biden administration is just the latest manifestation of how the ideology and policies of the radical progressive Democrats do nothing to build a strong nation, state, or city — they simply divide and destroy.
Five days before his election, presidential candidate Barack Obama stated, “in five days we will fundamentally transform America.” He wasn’t joking or engaging in hyperbole. He was simply stating the new mission of the fundamentally transformed, radically Progressive Democratic Party.
Make no mistake, the current Democratic Party bears little resemblance to that of my parents and grandparents. The Democratic Party of yesteryear cared about workers and people struggling to get by. Today’s progressive Democrats divide our nation with open borders, identity politics, critical race theory, transgenderism, and the sexualization and indoctrination of our children. Their massive growth of government with all the deficit spending it requires, combined with their insane war on fossil fuels, has put achieving the American Dream out of reach for too many of our fellow citizens.
This week, Wisconsin welcomes the Republican National Committee to Milwaukee. Situated on the beautiful shores of Lake Michigan, populated by good and decent Wisconsinites, Milwaukee has much to offer its citizens and visitors alike. I sincerely hope by week’s end, visitors heading back to their homes will have nothing but fond and positive memories of our city and state.
But that will only occur if the progressive Democrats’ protesters don’t disrupt the final step in the Republican Party’s democratic process of choosing our presidential candidate — President Donald Trump. Hopefully, Democrats will defend democracy by respecting Republicans’ constitutional right to peacefully assemble by allowing us to do so. We shall see.
Milwaukee leadership will no doubt highlight its best features, and I hope they do so effectively. It’s important to celebrate success and accentuate the positive. But it is also important to acknowledge reality, admit you have problems, and properly analyze them in order to have any chance of fixing them and improving your situation.
Unfortunately, Milwaukee suffers from many of the problems experienced by other large cities that have been governed by progressive Democrats for decades. George Soros-backed radical left District Attorneys refuse to prosecute crime, which only encourages more crime, endangers citizens, and causes businesses to shut down, resulting in economic blight. Public schools are failing inner city children, denying them the education and skills they will need to lead successful lives. Even worse, instead of focusing on education, radical leftist teacher unions ensure our children are indoctrinated with their divisive ideologies of class and social warfare.
The progressive Democrats’ open border policies will only exacerbate big city crime and education problems. Resources that could otherwise be used to address those issues will be diverted to deal with the illegal immigrants flooding into Democrat-run sanctuary cities. Human, sex, and drug trafficking facilitated by the progressive Democrats’ open border will plague our society far into the future. Foreign terrorists and members of some of the most brutal gangs from around the world have taken advantage of the porous border. America will be the recipient of Venezuela’s emptied jails and mental institutions.
How can any American who understands the consequences of progressive Democratic governance not view it as a total disaster? The answer is that the complicit mainstream media, primarily advocates for the left, has been covering up for Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and progressive Democrats for decades. As a result, not enough of our fellow citizens truly understand the damage progressive Democratic governance is inflicting on our country.
Elon Musk recently tweeted, “there is either a red wave this November or America is doomed. Imagine four more years of this getting worse.” I couldn’t agree more — and I don’t want to imagine the destruction another four years of progressive Democratic governance would wreak on America. Winning in November could be compared to the proverbial dog catching the car. The amount of repair required will be daunting. But we have no choice; the radical left must be defeated.
No matter who the progressive Democrats choose to be their nominee, the thoroughly corrupt and unfit for office President Biden, or some other Democrat they hope will be more electable, the ideology and policies they will pursue should they win will be identical and equally destructive. No Republican, conservative, or patriot can afford to sit on the sidelines complaining that all politicians are the same so it makes no difference who gets elected.
To counter that attitude and make it crystal clear what is at stake, I have proposed a one sentence mission statement for the U.S. Senate Republican Conference and for the Republican Party writ large: “to fight and defeat the ideology and policies of the Radical left that are destroying America.”
Once the radical left has been vanquished, all our energies can focus on accomplishing President Trump’s enduring mission of Making America Great Again. Let’s do everything we can to ensure that task begins on November 5, 2024.
