From a recent interview with Benny Johnson:

Chris Cuomo declares the Democrat Party is DEAD 💀

Cuomo tells me elitism, open borders, socialism and defund the police killed the modern Democrat Party.

Cuomo says the Democratic Party that his father was apart of “no longer exists” and he “doesn’t know why” his brother still registers as a Democrat.

“My brother’s a Democrat. I don’t know why, but he is. My father was a Democrat. But his party doesn’t exist anymore.”

“Now it's the left arguing for a cultural elite. This is how you will talk about people, Benny. This is how you will raise your kids. This is what you will tell them is okay. This is what you will say and not say.”

“There are socialistic aspects to our constitutional republic within a capitalistic model that work. They work for the collective. But it's a capitalistic society. No Democrat ever argued for anything else. No Democrat would have argued for open borders. None of this. My father would have done none of this.”

“And while I had disagreements with my father about different issues, I knew what principles were guiding him.”

Wow. Well said

The original democratic party dates back to early-mid 1800s and was:
Once known as the party of the "common man", the early Democratic Party stood for individual rights and state sovereignty, and opposed banks and high tariffs.

So the Dims lost their way decades upon decades upon decades ago, not in the last few decades.

Democratic Party can be during the race-based riots of 2020.

DemonCrats are teaching our youth to hate their own country. Shame! The only Platform they have is "hate Donald Trump".

I changed my mind. Chomsky is a wise man when he deviates from Democratic Party dogma. I actually named my goldfish after him.

The Democratic Party of 2025 has turned its back on the non-violent principles of Ghandi as practiced by Marten Luther King and instersd, embraces the violence of Stokley Carmichael's SED and the Weather Underground of the 1960s (look them up).

Hellen Keller, founder of the American Civil Liberties Union, ACLU, never envisioned that organization as the activist arm of socialism it has become. Democratic leaders of the past such as Barbara Jordan, were on the Trump-side of the immigration issue . In 1972, t he Democrat's candidates opposing Richard Nixon, senators Hubert Humphrey and George McGovern had the best interested of ordinary Americans in mind.

Today, the Democratic Part such as Rep Ocasio-Cortez and other members of "The Squad", supports about any concept, issue or action that undermines American society and culture with the goal of destroying us as a Nation. . . .and no one else in the party openly oppose them.

What a giant load. Please feel free to explain further exactly what concepts, issues and actions have the “goal” of destroying America.

Please let me know what statements the democratic party has made that supports the type of actions of the Weather Underground.

The Weather Underground’s political goal was to create a revolutionary party to overthrow the United States government, which WUO believed to be imperialist.

The democratic party is part of the existing government and has no intention of overthrowing it. Certainly not by violent means.

Uncontrolled immigration is one issue. zIn days past, this was opposed by prominent Democratic leaders.

Encouraging and supporting riots is another. Widespread public disorder is never a good thing. In the recent past, Democratic leaders, some of whom were in high office nationally and locally actively encouraged and supported violent riots with large scale destruction of private and public property.

Democrats in and out of office have supported and condoned anti-semitism beyond its expression in eaceful protests.

There is an ongoing attempt to irradiate any pride in the founding of this country or its subsequent history. In my view, we have progressed step-wise from a Nobel but flawed beginning to evolve into the Nation fundimently envisioned in our founding documents. Democrats such as President Obama have found the Constitution and Bill of rights to be confining of government, not empowering government control of society.

GEPOTUS Trump reduced the Dims growth path by closing the boarder. ZERO encroachments in the last 3 months. What with them shedding voters faster than a squirrel with the mange and no ability to traffic them across the boarder - well, you know... the thing. Come on man.

Dude-did you get all that from FOX news?

Protests are mostly non-violent on both sides- but some rioters out there go too far. I can think of many from the 1940's till today. Some were water cannons, some were lyncings, some were fires, and some were breaking into the capital. There's plenty on either side- so this is nothing new.

Governments are not here to control society- btw-

They are here to administer policies and taxes- but you're buddies on the christian nationalist front sure do want to control you. Add that to congressional folks who want to indoctrine religious ideology into laws and practices- and you're not better than the folks in IRAN when the Islamic Revolution happened.


But sure- tell me more how dems want to hate the US- and control you mind and body- Makes PERFECT sense.....if you're wearing really tight wad of tinfoil under your REDHat.

When it comes to anti-semitism, it's usually very lowbrow uneducated types saying that crap- but cannot understand anyone who doesn't want to see genocide or famine in the middle east. As if you had to choose only one side to be right. Maybe the idea is that compassionate people don't want to see death and starvation in the name of any country / people/ government???

Imagine being gulliable enough to believe that the intention of an open border was to gain voters for Federal elections- when it's completely illegal to vote in a FEDERAL ELECTION unless you are a citizen of the USA. Those who violate that law -face STEEP fines and incarceration.

So tell me again about how you know a rich nigerian prince and he's sending you millions and he also is going to be voting in the next general election cause----someone on Fox or X or BreitBart told ya that's the plan.

That's next level AI stupid.

Usually it’s about opportunity, the ability to work hard, and wanting a better life for your family.

I do that in my native country. And if not, I ding-dang sure don't burn the flag of the "other" country I want to do so within.
