'Party Crashers' by Vincent

Once upon a time, the Democrat party prided itself on championing equality for all and stood proudly on democratic ideals.  Yet, here we are, witnessing what can only be described as a rapid spiral down a rabbit hole of violence and chaos; with not a single leader in sight to steer the ship away from the jagged rocks.  Instead, we see a motley crew of mental misfits who seem more interested in pandering to the violent mob than engaging in real problem solving.   
 
 
Just take a look around, in Democrat led cities the streets are filled with crime and unrest, college campuses have devolved into antisemitic hubs, Tesla owners and dealers have become targets of extreme violence, and fundamentalist judges are fighting to bring violent gang members back to the U.S.; and instead of condemning the violence that has become synonymous with their party, democrat leaders are goosestepping away from accountability.  
 
 
Where are the voices of reason, the so-called party leaders, Pelosi, Schumer, and Jefferies?  These are the seasoned leaders who are supposed to be the voice of reason; and it seems the only thing they can agree on is the mantra of chaos.  Sadly, their ranks are filled with people who’ve traded their moral compass to appease the progressive mob; and the result is an absence of any real leadership at a critical moment in their history.   
 
 
This isn’t just a minor hiccup; this is a total implosion.  Remember, this is the party that promoted defunding the police as a viable option for what they called “social justice.”  Their current policies consist of allowing men to compete in women’s sports, gender mutilation of children, allowing violent criminal aliens to reside in America’s cities and opposing the cutting of wasteful government spending.  This seems to be the hill they want to die on; and subsequently will.  
 
 
Democrats have decided to ride the wave of anarchy, seeing this as the only viable option and counterpoint to the Trump agenda.  The legacy of a once stately party is crumbling into a cacophony of violence and bedlam.  However, this is the new normal the Democrat party seemingly endorses; how else do you explain the mob like social movement?  A movement that sanctions the firebombing of businesses and the intimidation of anyone who dares to oppose their narrative. 
 
 
You’d think the constant upheaval would ignite a spark in their leadership to take a stand.  Sadly, this marks as a profound failure, not just on a political level, but on a moral one.  In this climate of chaos, it’s easy to see why moderate voters are feeling abandoned and are walking away in droves.  They are looking for leaders bold enough to stand up to violence and incitement, instead of amplifying it.         
 
 
At this point, the Democrat party appears to be little more than a vessel of those lost in despair and rage, with no coherent plan and no responsible adults in the room.  Someone must ask the question, is this what the party truly wants; a place where reason and logic are sacrificed on the altar of fanaticism?  Because if this is their vision for America, we are all in trouble.
 
 
Here's a thought, perhaps it’s time to start demanding accountability and reign in the riotous elements, and to actually stand for something meaningful once again.  The only other option is to continue to run the status quo and allow chaos and immorality to be their north star.  Only time will tell, but the clock is ticking, and chaotic turmoil isn’t a sustainable strategy for any party.
