The '''Democratic Party'''<ref>This is the official name of the party.[https://www.democrats.org/about/our-party/party-organization]. Some refer to it as the Democrat party, implying the party is not democratic. The term is said to grate on Democrats' ears.</ref> ('''D''') is a [[leftwing]] [[fascist]] [[totalitarian]] organization and one of two major political [[parties]] in the [[United States of America]].<ref>Multiple sources:<br>[https://thefederalistpapers.org/us/the-democratic-party-has-officially-gone-full-fascist-op-ed The Democratic Party Has Officially Gone Full Fascist], By Seth Connell, ''The Federalist Papers'', June 29, 2016.<br>[https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2014/02/left-wing_totalitarianism_in_america.html Left-wing Totalitarianism in America], By Richard Winchester, ''American Thinker'', February 17, 2014.<br>[https://archive.is/nOTAl Democrats open door to Marxist totalitarian rule through attacks on police, history and institutions], By Andy Biggs, ''Washington Times'', June 23, 2020.</ref> The Democratic party seeks to outlaw and smash any political opposition.<ref>[https://archive.is/wip/Bzvtb A vote for Biden is a vote for a one-party state], ''The Washington Post'', Op-Ed by Marc Theissen, September 23, 2020.</ref> Slavery, segregation, and controlling minorities remain one of its founding principles, which the GOP was founded to oppose.<ref> Since its formation, Democrats have held the position that some lives are disposable.

The party is currently controlled by international [[globalism|globalist]]s whose principle aim is the overthrow of American [[democracy]] and free elections and the destruction of America as a [[republic]], a [[constitutional republic]].<ref>[Collapse Of American Democracy Is Packaged As Its Triumph], ''Oriental Review'', 14/11/2020.</ref>

A core tenet of the Democratic party is opposition to the principle of "one person, one vote", be it the original insistence on a [[Three-Fifths Compromise|3/5's rule]] for minorities among its early promulgators or fractional vote rigging in the [[2020 Presidential election]].<ref>[https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/elections/online-vulnerable-experts-find-nearly-three-dozen-u-s-voting-n1112436 'Online and vulnerable': Experts find nearly three dozen U.S. voting systems connected to internet], By Kevin Monahan, Cynthia McFadden and Didi Martinez, [[NBC News]], JAN. 10, 2020.</ref> As [[Candace Owens]] pointed out, [[illiteracy]] was used to control slaves and illiteracy among black males in many Blue state [[public school]] systems today is as high as 75%. In the 2020 presidential primaries, Democrats fielded a black man, a black woman, Hispanic-American, a [[Samoa]]n, a fake [[Native American]], the first openly [[gay]] candidate, a male socialist and a female socialist, and settled on an a mentally incompetent corrupt old rich white guy to represent their party.

In late 2021, a small group of traditional Democrats, some of whom still believed in [[God]], [[Western civilization]], [[America]], legal regulated immigration, capitalism, a two-party system and other traditional American values attempted to separate themselves from the [[insanity]] and [[crime|criminality]] gripping the Democratic party and its leadership by organizing themselves under the rebranded name of "Normal Democrats."<ref>https://news.yahoo.com/moderate-democrats-rebrand-normal-012159375.html</ref>

In January 2022, well in advance of the [[2022 midterm elections]], socialist leader Joe Biden proclaimed that failure of the Democrats to win the [[2022 midterms]] would make the elections illegitimate.<ref>https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/20/politics/biden-midterm-election-voter-rights-legitimate/index.html</ref>

The only precedent for the second [[impeachment]] of [[President Donald J. Trump]] was that of William W. Belknap, President [[Ulysses S. Grant]]’s Secretary of War during [[Reconstruction]], who was tried and acquitted by the [[U.S. Senate]] after resigning from office.  An investigation into the War Department was launched.  Under Belknap the [[U.S. Army]] was used in combination with the [[Justice Department]] to prosecute the [[Ku Klux Klan]], a policy opposed by most [[Democrat]]s.<ref>https://brewminate.com/the-life-of-william-w-belknap-impeached-post-resignation-in-1876/</ref>  Senate Democrat Majority leader [[Chuck Schumer]] said, “The Senate convened a trial, and voted, as a chamber, that Mr. Belknap could be tried ‘for acts done as Secretary of War, notwithstanding his resignation of said office.’ The language is crystal clear, without any ambiguity,” quoting a resolution by Senator [[Allen G.

The Macomb county prosecutor advised survivors who lost loved ones to COVID as residents or staff inside nursing homes should collect the vital information about the circumstances of their death and take that to local police and make a complaint as a wrongful death.  [[Criminal]] charges could be filed against the Democrat fascist governor over putting COVID patients inside nursing homes used as hubs during the pandemic.<ref>https://www.wxyz.com/news/coronavirus/macomb-county-prosecutor-says-criminal-charges-possible-against-governor-whitmer-over-nursing-home-deaths</ref>

In the weeks before the House Judiciary Committee voted on the antitrust legislation — aimed at [[Apple, Inc.]], [[Amazon.com]], and Alphabet’s [[Google]] — that was meant to limit the way companies organize and offer their products, Speaker Pelosi's husband who handles the family's finances exercised call options that netted the Pelosi's $5.3 million.<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/07/08/report-pelosis-husband-secured-5-3-million-from-alphabet-options/#</ref>

 

The so-called [[Equality Act]] is a bill that would eliminate the legal recognition of male and female sex, make it more difficult to bring charges of [[sexual harassment]] in the workplace, cater to gender ideology, and designate protection for the unborn as “pregnancy” discrimination.  The legislation, which would rewrite civil rights law to include “sexual orientation and [[gender identity]]” as protected classes, would likely upend the national culture as Americans have known it.  Ryan Anderson, president of Ethics & Public Policy Center (EPPC) said, “The so-called Equality Act isn’t drafted as a shield to protect vulnerable minorities from unjust discrimination, but as a sword to persecute those who do not embrace new sexual and gender ideologies.”<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/02/19/jjoe-bidens-war-on-women-equality-act-to-end-legal-recognition-of-biological-sex/</ref>

Democrat Rep. [[Henry Cuellar]], whose district was hardest hit by disaster, had been calling for months for the Biden junta to listen to the people in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, to him, and to [[law enforcement]] that is overwhelmed called Harris' visit to [[El Paso]] in the Upper Rio Rio Grande Valley a “politically safe” trip, a “check the box” kind of trip and a "joke".  Harris never consulted with Cuellar, Texas governor [[Greg Abbott]], or other local people.

The Biden junta’s reversal of Trump-era border policies gave Mexican cartels an enormous opportunity to exploit immigrants for financial gain. This criminal and inhumane system is a direct consequence of Biden’s open border policies and willful neglect of border security. Chris Farrell, director of investigations and research at [[Judicial Watch]], explained how the cartels’ control of the Mexican border is driven by profit.  “When Americans hear about the humanitarian crisis at the border,” said Farrell, “they should remember that it is fueled by a sophisticated criminal enterprise that is subsidized by the Biden administration’s failure to secure our border.”  An Arizona rancher explained “Nobody comes through that border illegally without their [the cartels] authorization.”  Dan Cantu, a retired Border Patrol agent, said no one “freelances”—or crosses into the U.S. from the Mexican border without cartel permission. In most cases, those who try are instantly killed.  “They call those [who cross on their own] ‘chapulines’ … which means grasshoppers in Spanish. It’s common knowledge that the minute they try to freelance—as soon as they do—smugglers and recruiters [for the cartels] will notice … [and] they’ll flat out kill them.”  They patrol ridge lines and mountains in search of “chapulines” walking on their own. If found, the chapulin is approached by a scout and asked for a code. Those who don’t know the code are often tied to a tree and beaten, raped, or killed by cartel operatives.  “The chapulines experience all kinds of torture,” Cantu emphasized, “because [the cartels] have got to send a message … there is a price for attempting to traverse the border yourself.”<ref>https://www.dailysignal.com/2021/06/15/no-one-comes-through-the-border-illegally-without-the-cartels-authorization-how-bidens-policies-feed-a-criminal-monopoly/</ref>

Virtually all political positions, foreign and domestic, have been determined by how it redounds to the expansion of the civil service workforce, state and federal, and to the benefit of the existing civil service.  This has been historically true since passage of the Civil Service Act in 1882, and was the basis of the Jacksonian [[spoils system]] and founding of the party. Democrat candidates campaign on, and Democrats voters vote for, government jobs and goodies and who will be called upon to hand out money from the public treasury. All policy discussion and decisions regarding national security, foreign policy, and domestic programs are based upon this basic tenet of controlling and expanding the power of the civil service workforce.

The Democratic party has persistently attempted to restrict gun ownership rights of blacks, Hispanics, and all other minorities at all levels, state and federal.<ref>https://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1534&context=faculty_scholarship</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_tOilPSHaM&list=PLuq9rBpmQwBRX_EExUHbChmECDSUf8dD0 Black Gun Owners SHRED Media Narrative About 'White Nationalist' Gun Rally]</ref> Democrats seek to disarm Blacks, where only cops and criminals have guns.

A key tenet of the modern Democratic party is, 'Diversity is our strength, provided that you are not [[Russian]].'

New York City Council Member Antonio Reynoso (D) introduced a bill to abolish the New York Police Department’s (NYPD) gang database as gang crime reached a new high throughout the city.  By October 2021, more than 100 children under 18 years old were involved in street-gang related shootings. Almost all of the children killed in gang-related violence in New York City are minorities, predominantly black. A police source told the ''New York Post'' that, “the gangs are eating these kids alive.”

In December 2020 Los Angeles District Attorney (LADA) George Gascon (D) entered office and released his plans to significantly downsize and dissolve LA County’s hardcore gangs unit. When entering office, Gascon immediately prevented his prosecutors from seeking the death penalty or issuing a cash bail for non-violent criminals.  Steve Cooley, the former LADA, referred to Gascon as a “functional outlaw… basically, George Gascon is a George Soros puppet, and that is dangerous.”  When Gascon’s plans coupled with two California Propositions (47 & 57) and Assembly Bill 109, the limited policing on gangs led to an immediate explosion in gang activity from prematurely-released violent gang-affiliated felons.   

In 2019, Los Angeles was statistically one of the safest cities in the United States. Homicides dropped to 5 per 100,000 people, and violent crime was at 560 per 100,000.  Less than a year into his tenure as District Attorney, violent crime, attacks and robberies of citizens, animal cruelty, and heightened rates of human trafficking throughout Southern California have risen. Between 2019 and 2021, homicide rose 116 percent, aggravated assault increased 19.9 percent, vehicular theft rose 24 percent, with a 224 percent increase in individuals being shot.  By February 2021, gang-related homicides were up 266.7 percent and gang-related shootings increased 133.3 percent. Attacks on police officers also rose 300 percent in the first 18 days of January 2021 when compared to the same time period in 2020.

The pandemic emptied parts of San Francisco and highlighted some of its drawbacks: human and dog feces smeared across sidewalks, home and vehicle break-ins, overflowing trash cans, and a laissez-faire approach by officials to brazen drug dealing. Parents despaired as public schools stayed closed for most of 2021 as nearby districts welcomed children back to the classroom. Drug dealers carry translucent bags filled with crystal-like rocks or stand outside the public library’s main branch, flashing wads of cash while peddling heroin and methamphetamine. The number of people that died from drug overdoses in San Francisco in 2021 was nearly three times as high as the number that died from COVID.

Often, the worst criminals dress in suits and walk the halls of power. For example, a CNN producer was charged with luring a mother and her nine-year-old daughter to a rental home in Vermont for ‘sexual subservience’ training also told someone else he’d ‘trained’ girls as young as seven. John Griffin, a producer on CNN’s New Day and worked for [[Chris Cuomo]], was charged by federal prosecutors in Vermont who say he paid for sex with underage girls, including one whose mother he convinced into letting her visit him.

314 police officers were shot in 2021. Meanwhile, the mainstream media and leftist groups continue to relentlessly demonize the police, driving good people out of the profession in record numbers. A workforce survey released in June 2021 by the Police Executive Research Forum found the retirement rate in police departments nationwide jumped 45% over 2020 and 2021. And another 18% of officers resigned, the survey found, a development which coincided with nationwide social justice protests and calls to defund the police.

The “racist” narrative was turbocharged with the concept of “White Privilege,” the notion that whites—the dominant [[demographic]] group in capitalist America—are irretrievably racist, [[sexist]], [[homophobic]], [[xenophobic]], [[imperialist]]ic oppressors who exploit everyone.

The modern Democratic party was formed during 1828–34, under the national leadership of Jackson and Van Buren, with organizations in all the states comprised of local political leaders. This became the era of [[Jacksonian Democracy]].  The Jacksonians resembled the [[Jeffersonian Democracy|Jeffersonians]] especially in terms of anti-elite rhetoric of opposition to "aristocracy" (that is, wealthy old families), distrust of banks (and paper money), they were "yeoman farmers" or "hillbillies", with faith in "the people." By his extensive use of federal [[Spoils system|patronage]], President Jackson removed old office-holders to make way for party loyalists.  The U.S. Postal Service was the federal government's largest employer.  With the emergence of the merchant or middle class Whig Party, the nation now had a new party system, the [[Second Party System]], which lasted until 1854.

[[Franklin Pierce]] of New Hampshire was elected president in 1852, followed by [[James Buchanan]] of Pennsylvania in 1856. They proved poor presidents who lost control of the slavery issue, and the party, as the nation broke apart and fought the [[American Civil War]].

During the [[Third Party System]] (1854-1896) the Democrats became the minority in the face of the newly formed Republican Party (formed by former Whigs and Free Soil [[abolition]]ists), which controlled nearly all northern states by 1860, bringing a solid majority in the Electoral College.  A powerful Republican issue was the allegation that northern Democrats, including "Doughfaces" like Pierce and Buchanan, and advocates of [[popular sovereignty]] like [[Stephen A. Douglas]] and [[Lewis Cass]], were accomplices to the [[Slave Power]]. The Republicans meant by Slave Power the conspiracy of slaveholders to seize control of the federal government and block the "progress of liberty."

Across [[the South]] Republican parties were formed by African Americans. Black people were the original Republicans in the South.

The Republican Party in [[Texas]] was founded on the 4th of July 1867 in [[Houston, Texas]] by 150 African Americans and 20 whites.  Two of the first three statewide Republican chairman were African American.  The first 42 Black legislators elected in Texas were all Republican.

The first 112 Black legislators elected in [[Mississippi]] were all Republican. The first 190 Black legislators elected in [[South Carolina]] were all Republicans. The first 41 Black legislators in [[Georgia]] were Republicans.  The first 127 Black legislators in [[Louisiana]] were Republicans.

In 1866 [[Democrat]]s formed the [[Ku Klux Klan]]. Its purpose was to take control and return Democrats to power.  The Ku Klux Klan started attacking Black Republican conventions.  At the Republican convention in Louisiana, the Klan joined with [[New Orleans]] police and New Orleans' Democrat mayor. The New Orleans Republican convention was attacked.  40 Blacks and 20 whites were killed. Another 150 were wounded.

Reconstruction ended, and Republicans withdrew from [[social engineering]] which had divided the country so deeply and stirred up such bitterness and hatred among Democrats toward both Blacks and Republicans. Reconstruction earned Republicans the undying [[hatred]] of Democrats.<ref>See for example [https://youtu.be/-yY7g2jOquM James O'Keefe debate with Hairy Hillbilly Hippie] for an example of a partisan Democrat who votes against his own economic interests.</ref><ref>See excerpt from [[Dinesh D'Souza]]'s, ''[https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/dinesh-dsouza-the-secret-history-of-the-democratic-party Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party]'', Regnery Publishing, July 18, 2016.</ref>

===Bryan and anti-Semitism===

[[File:Students pledging allegiance to the American flag with the Bellamy salute.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Elementary school children giving the fascist salute while reciting the [[Pledge of Allegiance]] during the New Deal.]]

The effort to desegregate the Democrat-controlled House cafeteria was defeated. Civil rights were not on the party agenda. FDR always opposed the federal anti-lynching law as part of FDR's Southern Strategy. Anti-lynching bills were first introduced by Republicans. The Costigan-Wagner Anti-Lynching Bill was introduced in 1934, calling on the Roosevelt administration to take an active role in ending [[lynching]] in the United States. Senators Edward Costigan of Colorado and Robert Wagner of New York sponsored the bill. Under its provisions, any state officer who failed to exercise diligence in protecting a person under their care from a lynch mob or who neglected to arrest persons involved in a lynching, could themselves be subject to federal imprisonment for five years and a $5,000 fine. In 1935 attempts were made to persuade Roosevelt to speak out in support of the bill. However, Roosevelt refused. He argued that the white voters in the South would never forgive him if he supported the bill and he would, therefore, lose the next election.

Ever since the Draft Riots of 1863, New York was the bastion of Democratic Resistance in the North. It was a Republican mayor however who made the first efforts to coax traditional black Lincoln Republicans into the New Deal coalition. Fiorello La Guardia was a [[RINO]], or Republican New Dealer. Roosevelt provided federal funds to La Guardia and withheld support from La Guardia's opponents. After the 1935 Harlem riot, La Guardia decreed that African-Americans were not to be arrested for anything, and that police patrolling [[Harlem]] could not carry nightsticks.<ref>[https://vault.fbi.gov/.../Eleanor%20Roosevelt%20Part%2016%20of%2040 Eleanor Roosevelt Part 16 of 37 - FBI — The Vault, p. 46]</ref>  

President Roosevelt excluded 4-time gold medalist [[Jesse Owens]] from the customary [[White House]] visit by [[Olympics|Olympic]] athletes. As Jesse Owens later explained:<ref>https://fee.org/articles/hitler-didn-t-snub-me-it-was-our-president/</ref>

In 1937 FDR appointed Alabama Senator [[Hugo Black]] to the Supreme Court. Black was a member of the [[Ku Klux Klan]] and built his career campaigning at Klan meetings. Black was well known for his anti-[[Catholic]] viewpoints.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=WX2LcraS1EgC&pg=PA219 The Oxford Handbook of Church and State in the United States]</ref> In ''Korematsu v. the United States'', Black voted to uphold [[President Roosevelt]]'s mass arrests and incarceration of [[Japanese]] men, women, and children based on [[race]].

President Roosevelt called Democrat klansman Sen. [[Theodore Bilbo]] "a real friend of [[liberal]] [[government]]."<ref>[https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/new-deal-democrats-republican-party/ New Deal . . . Conservatives?] ''National Review''.

Not until the presidential election of 1960 when John Kennedy intervened for the release of Martin Luther King, who was jailed by local Democrats two weeks before the election in Atlanta following a non-violent protest, did the majority of Blacks begin voting Democratic ''en bloc''. The transition was solidified four years later when anti-Vietnam war candidate Barry Goldwater defied Republican Congressional leadership and voted with Southern Democrats to oppose the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

New Deal relief efforts targeted FDR's white Democrat voter base. A Black Republican congressman attached a non-discrimination amendment, however Democrats put a ten percent quota system on Blacks who were suffering from higher incidence of poverty and unemployment than whites or the population in general. In more prosperous times 30 years later the War on Poverty was the New Deal in reverse, targeting Blacks with the assumption that all Blacks were poor and uneducated. Both the New Deal and Great Society were predicated on Marxist [[class warfare]].

Journalist John Flynn reported on a Senate investigation into cronyism and corruption in New Deal programs in Kentucky. Similar abuses were found throughout the nation. {{quotebox|"The WPA foremen were given a sheet upon which they had to report on the standing of the reliefers in the political campaign. It became a part of [[Harry Hopkins|Mr. [Harry] Hopkins]]' [[WPA]] organization in Kentucky to learn how many of the down-and-out had enough devotion to Franklin D. Roosevelt to be entitled to eat. It was not sufficient for an indigent Kentuckian to be just down and out and hungry. He had to believe that the President of the United States was his redeemer and had to be ready to register that belief at the polls. The reliefers were asked to sign papers pledging themselves to the election of the senior senator from Kentucky. They were given campaign buttons and told to wear them and there were instances where, if they refused, they were thrown off the WPA rolls.<br>All  this, of course, was in a Democratic primary where only Democrats could vote. But there were a lot of poor Republicans in Kentucky who couldn't vote in the Democratic primary so long as they were Republicans. So they were told to change their registration and become Democrats, or no WPA jobs for them.}}

This crippled the NSA's intelligence gathering efforts in the late 1940s and begins to explain why the US was caught unprepared for the [[DPRK]]'s 1950 invasion of the [[ROK]]. NSA historian David A.

After [[Kristallnacht]] in November 1938, many Jews within Germany decided that it was time to leave. The ''S.S St. Louis'' carrying 937 passengers, most of them Jewish, set sail from Hamburg to [[Cuba]] on May 13, 1939. In Cuba the passengers were denied entrance without posting a $500 bond. A few dozen passengers disembarked. The ship set sail for Florida.

Wikipedia states that Democrat President Franklin Roosevelt set up "[[concentration camp]]s" during World War II while the United States was at war with [[Nazi Germany]]:  

Franklin Roosevelt nominated [[James F. Byrnes]] to the Supreme Court and was confirmed by the Democrat Senate in 1941. The NAACP opposed his confirmation in a telegram to the White House:  

As a member of the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate for more than two decades, Byrnes personally blocked a Senate investigation of a South Carolina lynching and opposed federal anti-lynching legislation, insisting that “rape is responsible, directly and indirectly, for most of the lynching in America.”

A building and a professorship at the University of South Carolina bear his name, as do Byrnes Auditorium at Winthrop University, Byrnes Hall dormitory at Clemson University, and James F. Byrnes High School in Duncan, South Carolina.<ref>https://segregationinamerica.eji.org/report/segregation-forever-leaders.html</ref>

By October 1946, the G.I. Bill had placed 6,500 former soldiers in nonfarm jobs in Mississippi; 86 percent of the skilled and semiskilled jobs were filled by whites, 92 percent of the unskilled ones by Blacks. In New York and northern New Jersey, fewer than 100 of the 67,000 mortgages insured by the G.I. Bill supported home purchases by nonwhites. Discrimination continued as well in elite Northern colleges. The University of Pennsylvania, along with Columbia the least discriminatory of the Ivy League colleges, enrolled only 46 Black students in its student body of 9,000 in 1946. The traditional Black colleges did not have places for an estimated 70,000 Black veterans in 1947. At the same time, white universities were doubling their enrollments and prospering with the infusion of public and private funds, and of students with their G.I. benefits.<ref>https://atlantablackstar.com/2015/02/04/9-ways-franklin-d-roosevelts-new-deal-purposely-excluded-blacks-people/5/</ref>

On the right, the Republicans blasted Truman's domestic policies. "Had Enough?" was the winning slogan as Republicans recaptured Congress in 1946. Many party leaders were ready to dump Truman, but they lacked an alternative. The party was split three ways. [[Henry Wallace]], who Roosevelt threw off the ticket in 1944 ran as a [[Progressive]] while [[J. Strom Thurmond]], who remained a staunch supporter of FDR split off and ran as a [[Dixiecrat]]. Republican overconfidence led to many failing to show up at the polls and Truman was reelected in a stunning surprise. However, all of Truman's Fair Deal proposals, such as universal health care were defeated by the [[Conservative Coalition]] in Congress. His [[nationalization]] of the steel industry was reversed by the Supreme Court.   

In foreign policy, Europe was occupied but divided between the Western alliance and the Communist bloc as troubles mounted in Asia. American troops were now facing down the New Deal's Stalinist allies in the streets of Berlin. Kuomintang China, a major ally in the war against [[Japan]], fell to the Stalinist communist bloc in 1949. Truman, under the [[UN]] banner, entered the [[Korean War]] without formal Congressional approval—the last time a president would ever do so. When the war stalemated in 1951 because of Truman's reluctance to use nuclear weapons, he fired General [[Douglas MacArthur]], a hero to conservatives. Republicans blasted Truman's failure to stop Communist gains in Asia. A series of petty scandals among friends and buddies of Truman further tarnished his image, allowing [[Dwight Eisenhower]] and the Republicans in 1952 to crusade against "Korea, Communism and Corruption." Truman dropped out of the presidential race early in 1952, leaving no obvious successor. The convention nominated [[Adlai Stevenson]] in 1952 and 1956, only to see him overwhelmed by two Eisenhower landslides. Stevenson, a New Deal liberal, adopted the traditional Democratic Southern Strategy of choosing a Southern white male for vice president in both elections to appeal to Southern voters, who regularly would not allow African Americans to register to vote.

Two term New Dealer Sen. Theodore Bilbo faced three primary challengers running for a third term and told a group of supporters,  

In true Democrat tradition, Bilbo won the rigged primary election with 51% in a four-way contest. The Republicans won back control of the Senate that year in the 1946 general election and refused to seat Bilbo as his comments about Democrat [[voter suppression]] to rig the election became more widely known. He died 7 months later, unable to take his seat, while the Senate was still investigating.<ref>http://www.mississippihistory.org/sites/default/files/bilbo.pdf</ref>

In 1948, [[Lyndon B. Johnson]] won an election for [[U.S. Senate]] from the state of [[Texas]] by [[Democrat election fraud#1948 Texas Senate|stealing the election]], according even to historians sympathetic to him. Johnson ran against former governor [[Coke Stevenson]]; neither candidate won a majority of the votes in the election, which under Texas law forced a runoff between Johnson and Stevenson. Johnson then claimed an 87-vote victory over Stevenson in the runoff, which was fraudulent.<ref>See eg Robert A Caro Master of the ''Senate Means of Assent''</ref> Johnson's partner in [[crime]] in the election theft, [[Abe Fortas]], whom Johnson later appointed to the [[Supreme Court of the United States]] and was confirmed by a two-thirds majority of the Democrat Senate, is the only Supreme Court Justice to have resigned over corruption charges.

:{{See also|Brown vs. Board of Education}}

The election of a Republican for the first time in 20 years was momentous. Eisenhower appointed Republican California Governor [[Earl Warren]] as [[Chief Justice]] of the Supreme Court.  All the other members had been appointed by Roosevelt and Truman who believed courts should defer to the policymaking prerogatives of the White House and Congress. Warren convened a meeting of the justices and presented to them the simple argument that the only reason to sustain segregation was a deep-rooted belief in the inferiority of African-Americans. In ''[[Brown v. Topeka Board of Education]]'', Warren produced a unanimous decision that said: {{quotebox|"Segregation of white and colored children in public schools has a detrimental effect upon the colored children. The impact is greater when it has the sanction of the law, for the policy of separating the races is usually interpreted as denoting the inferiority of the Negro group…Any language in contrary to this finding is rejected. We conclude that in the field of public education the doctrine of ‘separate but equal’ has no place. Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal.”}}

In Congress, the powerful duo of House Speaker [[Sam Rayburn]] and Senate Majority leader [[Lyndon B. Johnson]] held the party together, often by compromising with Eisenhower. After the Little Rock Crisis of 1957, the party made dramatic gains in the 1958 midterms and seemed to have a permanent lock on Congress. Indeed, Democrats had majorities in the House every election from 1930 to 1992 (except 1946 and 1952). Most southern Congressmen were conservative Democrats, however, and they usually worked with conservative Republicans. The result was a [[Conservative Coalition]] that blocked practically all socialist domestic legislation from 1937 to the 1970s, except for a brief spell 1964–65, when Johnson neutralized its power.

:{{Main article|Southern Manifesto}}

The Southern Manifesto was signed on a large mahogany conference table in Sen. [[John Stennis]]' office which Stennis used as his desk and referred to as "the flagship of the [[Confederacy]]." The table was used by segregationist and co-signer of the Southern Manifesto Sen. [[Richard Russell]] before his retirement.  When Stennis retired in 1988, Sen. [[Joseph Biden]] took over Stennis' office, including the conference table.  When Sen. Biden was elected vice president in 2008, Biden had the flagship of the Confederacy moved into the Vice President's residence.

One of the first challenges to ''Brown v. Board of Education'' occurred when Democrat Governor [[Orval E. Faubus]] ordered the Arkansas National Guard to prevent African-American students from enrolling at [[Little Rock]] Central High School. Central High was an all-white school. Faubus ordered the troops to "accomplish the mission of maintaining or restoring law and order and to preserve the peace, health, safety and security of the citizens." A force of 289 soldiers was assembled. The commander told nine black students, six girls and thee boys ages 15–17 years old who were attempting to enter the school, to return home. The standoff continued for three weeks. Little Rock Democrat mayor Woodrow Wilson Mann appealed to President Eisenhower to help end the deadlock. Eisenhower sent the [[101st Airborne Division]] to federalized the entire 10,000-member Arkansas National Guard. The students were allowed to enroll.  

Faubus was re-elected in 1958 with 82.5% of the vote over a Republican challenger. Faubus ordered the closure of four public high schools that year, preventing both black and white students from attending school while seeking a two and a half year delay on de-segregation until January 1961 in Federal Court when there would be a possibility of a Democratic president.

Contrary to popular Democrat mythology, Democrat Governor [[George Wallace]] won [[the South]] in 1968 in a three-way contest against Nixon and Humphrey. There was no Nixon "[[Southern Strategy]]." The South continued to reject Yankee liberals (Humphrey in 1968, McGovern in 1972, Mondale in 1984, Dukakis in 1988, Kerry in 2004). At the state and local level, the Republicans made slow but steady gains. As racism in the South declined, Republicans in the South increased.<ref>https://youtu.be/ol7OMGBDMao</ref>  

The South became competitive in presidential politics as early as the 1920s and by 1980 gave strong support to Republican Ronald Reagan, rejecting northern liberal candidates.<ref>https://www.prageru.com/videos/why-did-democratic-south-become-republican</ref> Democrats responded with a new Southern Strategy - putting Southerners at the top of the ticket - Carter in 1976 and 1980, Clinton in 1992 and 1996, Gore in 2000, and calling Yankee Republicans "racist."  

By the 1990s the GOP was competitive at the state and local level throughout the South. The Democrats made gains in the west through [[illegal immigration]],<ref>https://cis.org/Report/Injustice-All-Excerpt-Sellout-Inside-Story-President-Clintons-Impeachment</ref> converting [[California]] to a Democratic stronghold and gaining in fast-growing Arizona and Nevada.

After that, most observers and pundits thought the credentials committee were ready to unseat the Regular Democrats and seat the Freedom Party delegates in their place. But some Democrats from other states threatened to leave the convention and bolt the party if the Regular Democrats were unseated.

To ensure his victory in November, Johnson maneuvered to prevent the Mississippi Freedom Democrats from replacing the all-white Regular Democrats.

In 1975, Sen. [[Joseph Biden]] proposed an amendment that gutted Title VI of the [[1964 Civil Rights Act]], which enabled the federal government to cut off funding to school districts that refused to integrate. ''[[Politico]]'' writes of the whole sordid affair, {{quotebox|Biden morphed into a leading anti-busing crusader—all the while continuing to insist that he supported the goal of school desegregation, he only opposed busing as the means to achieve that end.

It enabled Biden to choose votes over principles, while acting as if he was not doing so....In a seminal moment, the Senate thus turned against desegregation. The Senate had supported the 1964 Civil Rights Act, [[1965 Voting Rights Act]] and 1968 Fair Housing Act....the Senate remained the last bastion for those who supported strong integration policies. Biden stormed that bastion...<ref name="politico.com">https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/08/joe-biden-integration-school-busing-120968_full.html</ref>}} A Boston NAACP leader said, “An anti-busing amendment is an anti-desegregation amendment, and an anti-desegregation amendment is an anti-black amendment.” Republican Sen. [[Edward Brooke]], the first black senator ever to be directly elected, called Biden's amendment “the greatest symbolic defeat for [[civil rights]] since 1964.” Brooke accused Biden of leading an assault on integration.

The McGovern-Fraser Commission required state parties to develop written rules and post uniform statewide notification of the date, time, and location of precinct caucus meetings or party primary elections. There was a common practice in some Southern states such as Mississippi were all-white local party bosses held meetings in obscure locations so that Black majorities in a county or district were unaware of the time and place of party elections. Although many provisions the commission brought about were undone in the early 1980s by Walter Mondale and Ted Kennedy, several provisions have remained. Prior to McGovern-Fraser, several states had no written guidelines governing party conventions, caucuses, and the delegate selection process at each level, and were based mostly on local tradition, which often meant cronyism, discrimination, voter suppression and the boss's rule. The system had been used effectively by Democrats in their [[voter suppression]] of Blacks for over 100 years.

After the 1972 election, Congresswoman [[Barbara Mikulski]] was asked by the [[Democratic National Committee]] (DNC) to chair the [[Mikulski Commission]] to review and make recommendations on how effective the pre-convention McGovern-Fraser reforms rules were. According to [[CNN]], the commission

The Mikulski Commission went further than McGovern-Fraser, proposing to bind rules on state parties which would restrict delegate selection in primaries or caucuses to "Democratic voters only who publicly declare their [[party affiliation|party preference]] and have that preference publicly recorded" (Rule 2A). This required a party registration process before being able to vote in a Democratic primary. The new rule put pressure on parties to close their primaries to outside participation and brought about "same-day registration"<ref>See for example Kansas rules. [https://www.sos.ks.gov/forms/elections/Voting_Rules_for_Primary_Elections.pdf Voting Rules for Primary Elections]. www.sos.ks.gov</ref> in states with open primaries mandated by state law. The DNC incorporated these recommendations into the Delegate Selection Rules for the 1976 Convention. A temporary exemption where state legislatures had no party identification requirement to participate in a primary election was included. Opponents and dissenters felt this new rule violated the integrity of the secret ballot at public polling stations.

In 1972 Delaware Sen. Joseph Biden re-cycled the [[John C. Calhoun#positive good|racist rhetoric of John C. Calhoun]], arguing that school segregation was a "positive good" for Blacks.  Calhoun famously laid out his doctrine of separation of the races as a civilizing force among Blacks which became Democrat talking points before the [[Dred Scott]] decision, throughout the [[Civil War]], [[Reconstruction]], the [[Jim Crow]] era, and the [[New Deal]]. In a Democrat [[filibuster]] on the floor of the [[Senate]], Calhoun famously said:

Sen. James Abourezk of [[South Dakota]] related how Biden reacted when Abrourezek tried to block the amendment:  

Republican Sen. [[Edward Brooke]], the first black senator ever to be popularly elected, called Biden's amendment “the greatest symbolic defeat for [[civil rights]] since 1964.” Brooke accused Biden of leading an assault on integration.

The [[Watergate affair]] of 1973-74 made mistrust of government a central issue, especially after [[Gerald Ford]] pardoned Nixon in September 1974. Returning servicemen from Vietnam and termination of the draft created large unemployment, marking the end of the centerpiece of the Great Society's unemployment program.  Nixon however was blamed for the bad economy, and the Democrats made major gains in the 1974 off-year elections. Racism and segregation remained a common thread binding white Democrats together. In 1975, [[Delaware]] Sen. [[Joseph Biden]] led a coalition of liberals and former [[George Wallace]] supporters to oppose racial integration of schools, and went so far as to consider a [[Constitutional Amendment]].<ref>https://soundcloud.com/user-391839060/npr-1975-interview-with-sen-joe-biden</ref>

In 1976 Ford was narrowly defeated by [[Jimmy Carter]], a former governor of Georgia. Carter, a [[Trilateral Commission|Trilateralist]], posed as a total outsider who promised honesty in government. He had served as a naval officer, a farmer, a state senator, and a one-term governor. His only public profile in federal politics was when he chaired the Democratic National Committee's congressional and gubernatorial elections in 1974. Carter's "consolidation" of governmental agencies resulted in the creation of two new cabinet-level bureaucracies, the [[United States Department of Energy]] and the [[United States Department of Education]]. Carter began deregulation of the trucking, airline, rail, finance, communications, and oil industries, raised [[social security]] taxes, and appointed record numbers of women and minorities to significant government and judicial posts, including [[Hillary Rodham Clinton]] as head of the Great Society [[boondoggle]], the Legal Service Corporation. He also enacted more environmental legislation, through the expansion of the [[National Park Service]] in [[Alaska]], adding 103 million acres of parkland. In foreign affairs, Carter negotiated the [[Camp David Accords]], the Panama Canal Treaties, the creation of full diplomatic relations with the [[People's Republic of China]], and the [[SALT II]] Treaty.  

Carter failed to implement national health care and raised Social Security taxes. The [[Congressional Black Caucus]] year after year submitted bills for the Martin Luther King holiday, but despite Democrat control of the House, Senate, and White House, their proposals were repeatedly rejected by racist Democrats. Not until Ronald Reagan and the Republican Senate of the 1980s was the holiday adopted. Stagflation with limited job opportunities were on the rise.  

In 1980, Carter defeated liberal champion [[Edward Kennedy]] to gain renomination but lost to conservative [[Ronald Reagan]] by a landslide. The Democrats lost 12 Senate seats, and for the first time since 1954, the Republicans controlled the Senate. The House, however, remained in Democratic hands.

Jimmy Carter was elected by campaigning on the Misery Index - adding the [[inflation]] rate and [[unemployment]] rate together, which then stood at 13.4%. By 1980 when Carter sought reelection, the Misery index ratcheted up to 21%. After "twelve years of neglect" as Bill Clinton referred to [[Reaganomics]] it in 1992, the Misery Index stood at 9.2%. Clinton's racist [[dogwhistling]] brought enough racist Democrats home to win a 42% plurality in a three-way contest.

Following the San Francisco mayoral election of 1975, the San Francisco District Attorney asked Timothy Stoen, a Temple member,<ref name="Lindsay, Robert 1978">Lindsay, Robert. "How Rev.

Herb Caen, a [[Pulitzer Prize]] winner for the ''San Francisco Chronicle'', acted as a hype-generator for Jim Jones and the Peoples Temple. [[Jane Fonda]] joined other celebrities in expressing that she was “familiar with the work of Reverend Jones and Peoples Temple and have no hesitancy in commending them for their example in setting a high standard of [[ethics]] and [[morality]].” <ref>Jones, Jim.

The Temple openly preached to established members that "religion is an opiate to the people." (Jones, Jim. [http://jonestown.sdsu.edu/?page_id=27318 "Transcript of Recovered FBI tape Q 1053."] ''Alternative Considerations of Jonestown and Peoples Temple''. Jonestown Project: San Diego State University.) Accordingly, "those who remained drugged with the opiate of religion had to be brought to enlightenment{{spaced ndash}}socialism." (Layton 1999, page 53). In that regard, Jones also openly stated that he "took the church and used the church to bring people to atheism." (Jones, Jim. [http://jonestown.sdsu.edu/?page_id=27580 "Transcript of Recovered FBI tape Q 757."] ''Alternative Considerations of Jonestown and Peoples Temple''. Jonestown Project: San Diego State University). Jones often mixed those concepts, such as preaching that "If you're born in this church, this socialist revolution, you're not born in sin. If you're born in capitalist America, racist America, fascist America, then you're born with a big d***o in sin. But if you're born in socialism, you're not born in sin."(Jones, Jim.

As reports seeped back of people who wanted to leave Guyana, [[Harvey Milk]] – the first openly gay elected official who was endorsed by the Temple for San Francisco city councilman – wrote a letter to President Jimmy Carter defending Jones "as a man of the highest character," and stating that Temple defectors were trying to "damage Rev.

Russian dignitary Feodor Timofeyev visited Jonestown for two days to gave a speech.<ref>Jones, Jim.

Jonestown Project: San Diego State University.</ref> Jones introduced him saying, "For many years, we have let our sympathies be quite publicly known, that the United States government was not our mother, but that the Soviet Union was our spiritual motherland." Timofeyev opened the speech stating that the [[Soviet Union]] would like to send "our deepest and the most sincere greetings to the people of this first socialist and communist community of the United States of America, in Guyana and in the world". Both speeches were met by cheers and applause. Angela Davis addressed the crowd by shortwave radio saying, "when you are attacked, it is because of your progressive stand, and we feel that it is directly an attack against us as well."<ref>{{cite web|title=Statement of Angela Davis (Text)|url=http://jonestown.sdsu.edu/?page_id=19027|publisher=Alternative Considerations of Jonestown & Peoples Temple|accessdate=}}</ref>

Hearing allegations of abuse, Congressman [[Leo J. Ryan]] led a fact-finding mission to [[Jonestown]] which included in his group a staff member and future congresswoman, [[Jackie Speier]]. Ryan and four others were murdered when they attempted to leave. After the killings, Jones herded his followers into the camp's main pavilion and ordered them all to drink [[cyanide]]-laced Kool-Aid. 909 bodies, including 304 children, were found by Guyana police in following days. Some of the bodies had gunshot wounds.

:''Dear Comrade Timofeyev,<br>The following is a letter of instructions regarding all of our assets that we want to leave to the Communist Party of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Enclosed in this letter are letters which instruct the banks to send the cashiers checks to you. I am doing this on behalf of Peoples Temple because we, as communists, want our money to be of benefit for help to [[oppression|oppressed peoples]] all over the world, or in any way that your decision-making body sees fit.''<ref>[http://jonestown.sdsu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/letter_toFeodorTimofeyev.pdf "Letter to Feodor Timofeyev."] {{Webarchive|url=https://www.webcitation.org/5ryfcXgSk?url=http://jonestown.sdsu.edu/AboutJonestown/PrimarySources/financialLetters/letter_toFeodorTimofeyev.pdf |date=August 14, 2010 }} ''Alternative Considerations of Jonestown and Peoples Temple''.

Jonestown Project: San Diego State University.</ref> Jonestown was the greatest loss of American civilian lives in a non-natural disaster until the [[September 11, 2001 attacks]]. Progressivism suffered a devastating blow in the eyes of most Americans. Not until the rise of Barack Obama did it recover.

Carter supported the [[Ayatollah Khomeini]] over the Shah of Iran whom Soviet intelligence and Western media portrayed as a greedy capitalist oppressor. William Miller, chief of staff on the US Senate Intelligence Committee, said America had nothing to fear from Khomeini since he would be a [[Progressivism|progressive]] force for human rights. U.S. Ambassador William Sullivan compared Khomeini to [[Mahatma Gandhi]]. The mainstream media and State Department called him the "Iranian Mandela." The fall of the Shah and rise of the [[Islamic Republic of Iran]] set back [[women's rights]] centuries.  

Once installed under Carter's human right's policy, the Ayatollah created the ''Basij Mostazafan'', a movement of young people under age 17. When the Iran-Iraq War started in 1980, Khomeini issued a promise of paradise to the children and they were incorporated into the Iranian military. The Iranian clergy called for the young people from age 9 years old and up to move forward in human wave attacks, to clear minefields so the regular Army could pass.<ref>[http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/war/iran-iraq.htm Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988), ''Iraqi Retreats, 1982-84''], Globalsecruity.org, retrieved 20 March 2007.</ref> Matthias Küntzel quotes an Iraqi officer's description of one such encounter in the summer of 1982.
