Politics of Division

In a Fox News opinion piece about what Progressive-Democratic Party Presidential candidate Joe Biden needs to do to get elected besides ride ex-President Barack Obama’s (D) coattails, Progressive-Democrat Doug Schoen, 30 years a pollster and Democratic political consultant, had this remark.

Biden and his fellow Democrats are still struggling to develop a positive narrative surrounding Biden’s candidacy that is more than a reaction to President Trump’s polarization and division.

Trump’s polarization and division.

What polarization and division? It’s not Trump who’s practicing identity politics that, by design, divides and polarizes.

It’s not Trump who said 15% of Americans “are just no good.”

It’s not Trump who said to a black man that if he didn’t support Biden “you ain’t black.”

The division and polarization are broad—from one side—and have been going on for some time.

It’s not Trump—or any Republican or Conservative—who actively blocks speech or writing that runs contrary to what the blockers already have deemed to be appropriate and acceptable.

It’s not Trump—or any Republican or Conservative—who says Federal law enforcement officers are military troops, Gestapo, occupiers.

It’s not Trump—or any Republican or Conservative—who is accusing an incumbent President of trying to steal an election.

It’s not Trump—or any Republican or Conservative—who is accusing an incumbent President of planning to try to stay in the White House should he lose the election.

It’s not Trump—or any Republican or Conservative—who says if they don’t get their way, they’ll burn the system down.

It’s not Trump—or any Republican or Conservative—who said millions of Americans are racist deplorables.

It’s not Trump—or any Republican or Conservative—who derisively dismissed millions of Americans as mere bitter clingers to Bible and gun in flyover country.

It’s not Trump—or any Republican or Conservative—who accuses those who disagree with them of being racist. Or just stupid.

It’s not Trump—or any Republican or Conservative—who dredges up things from a man’s distant past and looks to destroy the man over that distant past.

It’s not Trump—or any Republican or Conservative—who said Tea Partiers are just Astroturfers and tea baggers.

Schoen should know better.

Joe Biden and Racism

Progressive-Democratic Party Presidential candidate Joe Biden accused President Donald Trump of being a racist in a virtual session last week.

[N]o sitting president has ever done this [spreading racism]. Never, never, never. No Republican president has done this. No Democratic president. We’ve had racists and they’ve existed and they’ve tried to get elected president. He’s the first one that has.

Leaving aside the fundamental racism of making racist accusations with no foundation for them, Biden needs to get a better high school intern to do his research.

It’s hard to find a more overtly racist President than the Democrat Woodrow Wilson, who among other things, infamously said to a black journalist that blacks should be grateful for the protections of segregation. Wilson said that to explain why he was so thoroughly resegregating the Federal government after successive Republican administrations had integrated it over the course of the post-bellum decades.

The Biden Fed

Progressive-Democratic Party Presidential candidate Joe Biden has a plan for the Federal Reserve system of banks. This bit jumped out at me in the article at the link that describes his plan.

[T]he policy blueprint Team Biden cooked up with Bernie Sanders’s economic advisers argues, “the Black unemployment rate is persistently higher than the national average, which is why Democrats support making racial equity part of the mandate of the Federal Reserve.”

Because blacks are fundamentally incapable of competing in America without special treatment. This is the soft bigotry of low expectations.

This is the overt bigotry of the Progressive-Democratic Party and of Joe Biden—If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black—made manifest.

Peaceful Protesting, Portland Style

Several times the Portland police have had to declare a riot in progress in response to Portland’s peaceful protests and the peaceful protesters’ behavior. Saturday was the third time in a row.

Protesters broke into a building, set it on fire and started dumpster fires late Saturday night in Oregon’s largest city, police said….

And

On Saturday evening, two groups of antifa and Black Lives Matter rioters terrorized Portland, squaring off against police and federal troops. One group attacked the Portland Police Bureau’s North Precinct and the Portland Police Association (PPA)—the police union—while the other group targeted the federal courthouse and Justice Center, returning to set yet another bonfire at the ruins of the elk statue nearby. Antifa broke into the PPA and set it on fire.

But these are peaceful protests. Portland City Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty says so.

…thousands of Portlanders came out to exercise our constitutional right to free speech and peaceful assembly.

This is the Newspeak of today’s Progressive-Democratic Party.

Vote Fraud

It happened in West Virginia, and it didn’t involve vote harvesters or vote canvassers or vote counters.

A West Virginia postal carrier pleaded guilty Thursday to altering mail-in requests for absentee voter ballots.
Thomas Cooper entered the plea in federal court in Elkins to attempted election fraud and injury to the mail, US Attorney Bill Powell said in a statement.
Cooper was charged in May after eight mail-in requests for absentee voter ballots had their party affiliations altered.

This was a failure of West Virginia’s decision to mail ballot applications to all registered voters, whether they asked for one or not.

But Progressive-Democrats say there is no mail vote fraud. And they are honorable men. So are they all, all of the Left, honorable men.
