Here’s a Hat Tip to Donald Moore of WorldNewsChat social media sharing this American Thinker post by Pete McArdle entitled, “So You Wanna Be a Democrat?”
McArdle nails how Dems (really Marxists these days) have destroyed the Founders’ Republic with a Woke Cultural Marxist agenda in fundamentally transforming America.
My suspicion active Dems will be proud of this pedigree pictured by McArdle. Those of us fighting for a MAGA resurgence should be incensed by this Dem pedigree. SAVE AMERICA and teach your children and youth that Making (and Keeping) America Great preserves the essence of the America our Founders sought to instill.

So You Wanna Be a Democrat?
As a public service, then, let me educate potential Democrats on what will be necessary for them to fit in with their fellow donkeys.

A firm believer in individual rights and free choice, I’ve got no problem with young people who think they might like to become card-carrying Democrats.
As a public service, then, let me educate potential Democrats on what will be necessary for them to fit in with their fellow donkeys. The following are things you must believe in and loudly advocate for, lest your fellow Dems suddenly turn on you and visit, bearing torches and pitchforks:
Killing People
Dems just love to kill people, especially unborn babies. Doesn’t matter how far along in gestation an unborn human is; Democrats are always ready to off him or her. Or zem. Whatever...
Dems are also fond of killing the elderly, as long as there’s some sort of half-assed justification: terminal disease, oppressive mental illness, or merely attending a rowdy rally on January 6.
If Democrats somehow regain power in my lifetime, I fully expect them to institute government health care and the same kind of active “assistance in dying” so popular in Canada.
Hating Whitey
These days, Democrats reduce everyone to white and non-white, a characteristic that, except for Michael Jackson, is unalterable. And they’ve decided that in every sordid tale, the “person of color” is the victim, and whitey’s the perp.
George Floyd was a vicious career criminal, chock-full of fentanyl and violently resisting arrest, when he died while being restrained by a Caucasian cop in a Democrat-run city.
Who went to jail? The cop doing his duty.
Who was ordained an American hero? The black felon.
Hating Masculinity
These days, Democrats are the party that openly discriminates against men, putting absolute dumbbells like Kamala Harris, Ketanji Brown Jackson, and Karen Bass in positions of power regardless of their inability to speak or write coherently, much less do their jobs. They have ovaries and XX chromosomes, and to Dems, that’s all that matters — although it helps if they possess a certain level of skin pigmentation (see Whitey, Hating).
Allowing Men to Play Women’s Sports
If a man truly wants to appeal to Democrats, it greatly helps if he slips on a dress, shaves his chest hair, and applies makeup and mascara. Then it’s quite acceptable for him to set NCAA women’s swimming records, stand on the podium as a ladies’ cycling champion, or beat the snot out of a female boxer in the Olympics. Although donkeys find big, masculine men toxic, paradoxically, when it comes to athletic competition, they clearly believe that folks born with penises and testicles make better women.
Loving Criminals
I’ve circled the sun almost seventy-three times, and all while living and working in the belly of the Democrat beast: New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.
And during that time, I’ve read — and become enraged by — countless stories of innocents murdered by criminals with rap sheets almost as long as the alphabet. Democrat politicians, police chiefs, and judges are always shedding tears for the animals they refuse to properly punish, and never for their helpless victims.
Unless, of course, the donkey in charge himself becomes a crime victim, at which time, as the old joke goes, he becomes a Republican.
Hating America
Who hates America more than Democrats? Nobody. China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea can’t hold a candle to what Dems are doing to destroy our historically great country. The party of donkeys teaches kids in school to judge and resent our founders, they try to kill our energy sector with Green New Deal nonsense, and they undermine our thrice — yes, thrice — elected president, calling him Hitler and his federal law enforcement heads Gestapo.
During the recent reign of pudding-brained puppet president Joe Biden, Dems purposely opened the floodgates for millions of unvetted criminals, drug-dealers, child-traffickers, mental patients, and welfare queens from all over the world. If you were trying to rapidly take down our country, what would you do differently?
Electoral Cheating
Let’s face it: If Democrats don’t lie about what they truly believe and plan to do, why, they’d never win another election. So, while pretending to care about the citizenry, they come up with every cockamamie scheme in the world to cheat during elections: early voting, late voting, absentee voting, cured voting, harvested voting, and my personal favorite: no-ID-required voting.
If the spineless GOP-majority Congress that President Trump is desperately trying to herd like a bunch of truculent cats in suits ever passed a law requiring photo ID to vote, the Democrat party would implode in a cloud of smoke.
When it comes to elections, donkeys just gotta cheat.
Lie, Lie, Lie
If a Democrat thought leader’s lips are moving, he’s lying. Run for office on affordability, get elected, and immediately raise taxes. Tell the public the vegetable Biden’s sharp as a tack, watch him totally phase out during the presidential debate, and then claim you somehow didn’t notice his abject senility. Tell the world Trump’s a Russian stooge, accept Pulitzer Prizes for your blatant falsehoods, and cry crocodile tears when you most deservedly get laid off.
How ’bout Tampon Tim (D-Mini-Somalia)? Telling us he’s a gun-toting soldier, an avid hunter, an accomplished football coach, and simply a man’s man, who had no idea that all the illegal aliens he warmly welcomed here were ripping off America to the tune of billions of dollars?
In order of appearance, no, nope, nein, not even close, and r-i-g-h-t!
In conclusion, if you’re young and anxious to join the political fray as a Democrat, you must be ready to
§ kill people, especially unborn babies and the elderly;
§ hate all white people;
§ hate men, especially masculine men;
§ let males dominate women in sports;
§ love criminals, perverts, and evildoers generally;
§ despise your country and its founding;
§ cheat like hell electorally; and above all,
§ lie, lie, lie!
If all that’s too much of a stretch for you, consider supporting President Trump and joining the MAGA movement.
On the other hand, if you’re fine with all the dastardly Democrat doings listed above, register as a Democrat, or, alternatively, seek intensive psychotherapy while there’s still time to save yourself.
Now more than ever, the ability to speak our minds is crucial to the republic we cherish.
