Backlash to Democrats coming

The United States has only 5 percent of the world's population but 66 percent of the world's lawyers. The Democratic Party is dominated by lawyers who mock, scorn, ridicule and prosecute producers who create wealth. Democratic lawyer-politicians portray successful businessmen as enemies of the state. Their driving passion is to win punitive lawsuits, press appellate courts to overturn precedent, enact new laws, parse language to favor the most perverted side of any issue by redefining the original longstanding traditional meaning of words in our Constitution and our history books, label Americans and assign them to a concocted special-needs class and then treat them as wronged litigants in a vast social class-action lawsuit in order to divide the electorate into obligatory voting blocs. That is simply despicable.

We're citizens of a republic that in the beginning promised us a great deal of freedom from just such coercive power. Today we have a president and congressional leaders who are utterly ruthless, tone deaf, tin-eared lawyer-politicians consumed by a preset Marxist agenda, using the law against their fellow citizens to achieve ambitious radically left political ends.

These Democrats know nothing about how to create wealth but know devilishly well how to redistribute wealth made by others in order to reward political cronies and bribe desperate voters they've produced by twisting laws and hamstringing employers who drive our economy. Democrats have turned our country upside down and inside out. A massive backlash is reaching a crescendo.
