Democrats Soften on Nationalism?
Addressing How Trump slid in on a Stealth Civil Rights Action
Wednesday November 9th, 2016, Democrats woke up in a cold sweat seeing President Donald J. Trump had won Election 2016. How could that possibly happen on the heels of two terms of popular Obama? What had they missed? How were the polls, pundits, and inside Washington DC'rs so drastically wrong? How had Donald Trump slipped in on the Civil Rights Action America had propagated so faithfully, with identity politics so strong with minorities and women? How had Trump attracted so many Democrats away from the Democratic Party to get the steering wheel of the Office of the President? We Democrats are left to examine these questions and ponder them as a very minor party, humbled and reduced to ashes as more than 1000 offices have departed the Democratic Party across the Country in the wake of the ObamaPopulism.
The whole idea of being an "insider" is being part of an inner circle that the masses are not part of. How rare is it when the inside of a nucleus becomes unattached to the outer circle thereby rendering it on the outside while the outside become the inside? That happens when things get turned inside out. You hate it when you get caught wearing that sweater with the tag hanging out? Its' embarrassing when you put your shirt on inside out and go out in public. Most of us can identify with that having done it on occasion, especially when we are in a hurry or rush.
“Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are.”
― Benjamin Franklin started thinking
Civil Rights in Washington DC is set in Stone and Granite. There is no way anyone can not gaze upon the Washington, Lincoln, or Martin Luther King Jr. Memorials and not think of an outstanding struggle of independence, freedom & liberty, all of which encompass Civil or political rights.
Some might say Political Rights are different then Civil Rights, but they would be mistaken. One might ask with the Amendments of the U.S. Constitution that enabled voting regardless of color or gender, with the advent of same-sex marriage upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court, and Pro Choice, if there are any Civil Rights left that encompass large swaths of a percentage of the population in America and how when those become law the Conservative Path does not pick up an advantage of that law the same as liberals do?
This is part of how Republicans were able to benefit from representing themselves as pro life and pro choice, for marriage between a man and a women as well as same-sex marriage. When it a Civil Right goes through the struggle to become Law upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court it is much less likely to ever be over-turned and because of that, both Republican and Democratic Parties are able to Claim the Law will be upheld and thus attract the one issue voters.
Democrats would no doubt in many instances like to stash and tuck away the line-item Voter in a singular little box, but when it becomes American, there is not much luck of turning it back. Can you imagine the struggle it would be to outlaw black men or women from voting? Can you imagine turning the clock back on same-sex marriage? Neither can Republicans and President Trump was able to gain a foot hold by stating as much, yes I'm pro-choice but I'll uphold the Law.
Trump with such a statement gains all the Pro-Life people who think of the sliver of a chance that abortions will become illegal by turning the issue back to the States, but the reality of any State of the Union making abortion illegal would undoubtedly suffer the frenzied focus of the media Nationally and render their U.S. Representatives and Senators pariahs.
When it comes to the National Focus, there are not a whole lot of U.S. Representatives or U.S. Senators standing up for the repeal of the 18th Amendment which would effectively make prohibition legal again. You don't see these same Elected leaders standing up and forming coalitions to repeal same-sex marriage, or repeal pro choice Law. So the Law when it is passed finally or actually becomes Law is also claimed positively by both the Republicans and the Democrats.
Now this poses a bigger problem for the Democrats than it does the Republicans because they have swam in identity politics for so long - First Black President 2008, 2012, First women President 2008 2016 now they have lost to President Trump one time it may be over for Democrats as far as Civil Rights and the High Ground of a moral civil or political high road cause that will propel them with enough votes to gain the favor of America back which has been lost.
Let's face it Democrats, this is why we may say now days especially very rarely does a Civil Rights Argument come along that will unite the People of the United States of America nationally. It would take a current civil right infringement that affected everyone nationally to rekindle favor. The Parade in a low turn out of 500K women when 1M were expected began in Washington DC today. Those women representing any pro-choice advocacy were excluded by the organizers whittling away at women as a bloc as fast as they were trying to organize as a bloc.

The female temper-tantrum has at the center of it's complaint Trump's Freedom of Speech or 1st Amendment Rights which they are exercising very raunchily themselves. What Trump has said bothers them,but he is now their President too.
I always thought women really did bring out the best in us men tempering down the testosterone rich and raunchy foul mouth natural instincts of men in a higher class of smoothing our rough edges. Therefore to see and hear what was happening at the Women's March was in my opinion something like
wanting the worst?
It's probably safe to say most of the women protesting today were Democratic Party women as it was organized as a protest against President Trump. I don't say Temper-Tantrum lightly because I know what it's like to feel threatened and be threatened on a basic Civil Right. But I would like to focus now on a couple of things that make a make a temper-tantrum just that verses making a Protest on Reality something of a Civil Rights Act and it's based on action and behavior being much bigger than words.
We Democrats have lost our way with the Leaders I believe. Trump slid in the drivers seat of the Office of the Presidency as a soft Dem. I'm not sure if Dems can come back now.. it's gonna be a lot of work if they do. Reflecting on Trump's inauguration speech I heard many things that sounded like Democrats
1- For those forgotten you will be remembered. (Have Democrats forgotten about people in their exclusion of inclusion stance represented to the National Psyche the last few elections?
2- Jobs will come back (How big of a part have Democrats played in employing the world over their own constituents as they have been encouraging exporting jobs for lower wages in our big corporations rather than remembering the little guy back here in the USA?)
Dems forgot those main stay principles as they considered the World first the USA second. Donald Trump seized on these and employed them as certain realities that were very lifelike in the homes of so many Americans. It's hard to deny the rust bust in American factories riddled across America? Obama seemed happy to encourage this departure of employment at the same time opening the gates to disgruntled immigrants in places he was bombing. Things Obama as well as Hillary Clinton forgot:
1-The world doesn't pay taxes here
2-Nor does the world vote here
The Dems needed to soften on their anti Nationalism and remember we are part of the World but we are not the World. Do you remember how big of a deal Obama was made out to by the Press as he dropped in on a July 2008
Berlin Germany Rock Concert attended by 200,000 people? The U.S. was being sold a bill of goods by the popularity reported of the World's Attraction to Obama.
[For the man who has brought rock-star charisma to electoral politics, today saw the campaign rally as pop festival, a summer gathering of peace, love — and loathing of George Bush.]
Salivate all over yourself if you'd like, but Obama forgot about the common man and Trump took notice. Democrats were thrilled with the adulation of the world but were blind to the hurt of every day working Americans. Washington DC did exactly what Trump said they did. They were out-of-touch with realities and they also missed the biggest Civil Rights Action that affected the Nation over the last 8 years, and that was Obama's ineligibility by the Standard of the U.S. Constitution.
How could a black man violate Civil Rights? The concept seems incomprehensible to most Democrats who will throw down for Obama as a Citizen but forget the qualification for the Office of the President in [Citizen] stopped for those born after the Adoption of the U.S. Constitution and from there on out required [natural born Citizen] ie. born in the U.S. to Citizen Parents.
It was a stealth civil rights issue Trump say and capitalized on in America. Most Americans across the electoral college agreed, but Democrats refused to see opting again for populism and slandering pejoratives like 'Birthers'. The Democrats ignored, excluded, and castigated those who were suffering for the Civil Rights of a fair and equal presidential race under the Standard of the U.S. Constitution which is not the standard of the world.
That is why Democrats are so angry right now. They haven't yet come to grips with the fact that the future of the Country has been handed to Republicans who did not hold a single hearing against Obama's qualification.
Republicans did not have a single main stream Candidate willing to take a stand in Court filing a Civil Rights Complain of an unfair race in Mitt Romney 2012 or John McCain 2008.
Republicans have far more ineligible Presidential Candidates on the Bench or who have ran for President but who do not satisfy [born in the U.S. to Citizen Parents]
See U.S. Supreme Court Case
Minor v. Happersett for precedent of [natural born Citizen] ironically the first case recognizing women as equal citizens to men. Celebrate that infringement in Obama women of the Parade in Washington DC.
“…all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also.” First, the Court states that these persons are “citizens”. But then it makes a second statement about this class –
2. “These were natives or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners.”
As a
Candidate for President in the Democratic Party the only one to also sue
McCain and Obama clear to the U.S. Supreme Court twice
12-5276 14-9396, Democrats have missed a Civil Rights Fight that Trump actually got credit for as being a leader in the Birther Movement. Trump even tweeted to Cruz he had standing and could sue him.
I protested Obama's Election clear to the last day of his illegal occupation in the White House as a defacto President. Obama did not run a fair and equal race under the Standard of the U.S. Constitution and it has affected negatively every American deeply. So deeply, they turned to someone who in word represented exactly that, though Trump failed in action to file any paper officially.
Obama is not in the White House any more Democrats and I suggest that you reconsider your official Civil Rights backbone in understanding we live in the United States of America. We have a Standard of that to uphold when we elected a President of the United States. I hope Democrats will soften their stand on Nationalism as it applies to our freedoms and liberties.
The Constitution will get in your way if you do not Amend it properly. The Nation was saved by the U.S. President's two-term limit, as well as the Electoral College Vote and Democrats will never over come those two things so they might as well uphold the Constitution's [natural born Citizen] Qualification too.
