RFK Jr. recently lamented:
The Democratic party I grew up with, the party of Robert and John Kennedy, was fighting to make sure that Americans, every American, could vote for the candidates that they chose to vote for. And this Democratic party is doing everything in its power to make sure Americans are disenfranchised.
Democrats abhor democracy and project their sins onto opponents. Is this new? Certainly not during the party’s founding or at any point in between.

The Democratic party began in 1828 as a southern phenomenon to elect Andrew Jackson, famous for exploits in Indian wars. Jacksonian “democracy” excluded certain races. Jackson’s Removal Act of 1830 focused on clearing the South of 50,000 remaining Indians to prepare for slave plantations. The Trail of Tears, which herded 15,000 Cherokee west and killed 3-4,000, was not a voter registration drive. Native Americans finally attained citizenship under Coolidge in 1924.
Democrats started the Civil War to prevent all Americans from enjoying citizenship. 800,000 dead later they surrendered. In subsequent generations Democrats sought to undo their loss through Jim Crow and similar segregationist de jure and de facto lawfare techniques that continued past WWII. Republican Abraham Lincoln freed Democrats’ slaves. School desegregation finally began under Republican Dwight D. Eisenhower. He deported over a million illegal immigrants, rectifying another Democrat mess. Republican Richard M. Nixon concluded Democrats’ Vietnam fiasco.
Biden represented the final congressional remnant of Jim Crow, the last of his political breed. Representing Delaware, a slave state, in Congress, he was mentored by figures such as Ku Klux Klan exalted cyclops Robert Byrd. Byrd, eulogized by Biden as someone who “elevated the Senate,” was Senate President Pro Tempore, third in line of presidential succession. Bill Clinton’s mentor was segregationist Arkansas Senator J. William Fulbright. Al Gore Jr.’s father joined Byrd, Fulbright, and other segregationist senators in voting against the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Senator Biden spent 36 years insulting the intelligence of all racial, ethnic, and class interest groups by transparently pandering to any voting block greater than 0.5% of the electorate.
Democrats’ 1960s Great Society programs built on the New Deal’s socialist momentum, making minorities wards of the state and incentivizing destruction of families. Democrats have never practiced democracy. They only work to enfranchise some when it provides partisan benefit. Everyone else they seek to disenfranchise. Ask RFK Jr. or Biden’s 14 million primary voters. Democrats never met a right they didn’t want to suppress against their opponents. Hypocrisy is their strong suit. The party that sponsored slavery pivoted to supporting reparations.
The Democrats’ Jim Crow era has been superseded by their communist flirtation, initially introduced by Bill and Hillary Clinton, then more thoroughly under Obama. Controlling Blacks and Indians expanded into controlling all. Communism’s essence is acquisition of power via fraud if elections fail. The party’s current polyamorous marriage — between “progressives,” Muslims, globalists, foreign enemies, and various useful idiots employed as political muscle — is no advertisement for democracy. They project onto their opponents the label of anti-democratic. Their lawfare represents a tactical subversion of democracy, a judicial coup.
