Some very sobering thoughts from Victor Davis Hanson

"The Looming ‘1984’ Election". A sample:
We are also well beyond even the stark choices of 1972 and 1984 that remained within the parameters of the two parties. In contrast, the Democratic Party as we have known it, is extinct for now. It has been replaced since 2016 by a radical progressive revolutionary movement that serves as a touchstone for a variety of auxiliary extremist causes, agendas, and cliques—almost all of them radically leftwing and nihilistic, and largely without majority popular support.

I would make a minor amendment to that statement: In contrast, the Democratic Party as we have known it, is extinct 'for good'. I think the old Democratic party is dead, in the casket, has been lowered into it's grave, and the new Dimocrat party is in the process of administering last rights. It would take a miracle from God to change that, and I don't think God likes the new Dimocrats all that much.
