Blue & Red Makes Purple

"When I was... a young girl... my father... took me into the city... to see a marching band."

Actually, my father didn't do that because he's in prison. I just wanted to relate to my audience starting on a high note (g-note to be exact). The last part is true though. It is an irrevocable fact that I was, indeed, a young girl.

And when I was a young girl, our school did mock presidential elections. And since I was a young girl, I thought that my school vote was real. It took me years to realize, that I did not, in fact, vote for Obama at age 10. Thus, as a young girl, I was not much of a critical thinker. There was, however, a young girl who was good at critical thinking. This girl was my sister... kind of. For the sake of privacy, her name is Violet.

Violet was kind of my sister in the way that my mom was dating Violet’s dad, and Violet’s dad only saw his daughter every other weekend, so I had an extra sister every other weekend, but my mom and Violet’s dad broke up, so she never really was my sister, but how do you describe a relationship with a girl that you loved and hated like a sister, but can't legally call them your sister? (Try to keep up) Violet was funny, charismatic, a little bit of a thief (I know you stole my D.S. game), and wickedly smart. I admired her as a kid, and I admire her today.

Violet's dad was a democrat, and my mom had always been a democrat, so I, being impressionable, was a self-proclaimed democrat at ten-years-old. When Obama was elected in 2008, I asked my “step-sister,”

"Aren't you happy?"

Violet as an eleven-year-old responded,

"Why would I be happy?"

"We have a black president."

"That's racist!"

"How is that racist?"

"I don't have to like a president just because he's black!"

You might chuckle at this. How absurd it is: An eleven-year-old, and a ten-year-old, bickering over Barrack Obama, in the back seat of a Subaru, in 2008, and the eleven-year-old, called the ten-year-old, racist.

It does look silly without context, but mind you, Violet is black and I am white. So, as a young girl, I learned a little bit about racism that day. Violet was right of course, and I'm really glad she taught me how wrong I was with my statement. Not only did she teach me how I was being racist (however young, or innocent I was), but she also laid the foundation of what identity politics are, and how at its core, it's a very racist way of thinking.

Of course, it would be a long time before those rusty cog wheels truly set in motion. Indeed, it took a while for that bit of critical thinking to start- Because from age 10 to 22, I was a democrat. How can you even be a democrat at 10? Truthfully, the same way adults are democrats now. I loved the suave Obama, and in all that time- I barely thought about what being a democrat meant. All I knew was that republicans were racist, and my party wanted to help people. Oh I was a young girl.

As a learned 23-year-old I come before you to spread the news. The democratic party uses racism, hypocrisy, and pandering to divide the country, and win power. This is obviously an opinion, but I shall do my best to support this claim with evidence, as well as provide a story on how I became conservative.

The democratic party is racist based off of an understanding I was taught at the age of ten. You don't vote for a president based off the color of their skin. As a nation, does anyone have to balls to ask each-other why they really voted for Obama? Of course not, because that is a racist question. But really, why did we vote for Obama? (I wasn't old enough to vote for Obama, but as a young girl I voted for him in my school once).

If you ask a democrat, "why did you vote for Obama?" take the toddler approach. They'll give you their answer and then you ask, "why's that?" to whatever they say. If they can answer again, ask again, "why?" The further the questioning, the further reasoning and logic deteriorates. If you take it far enough, you're left with a former academic in fetal position, rocking back in forth muttering, "why? why? why?" They won't admit they behaved like a ten-year-old. They are, in fact, a racist. A democrat would never admit they voted for Obama because he's black. Actually, some have, so now what?

I personally don't remember much of Obama's presidency, but I do remember living through a recession. I remember my mom being dependent on welfare, and her not being able to afford gas to get us to school. I remember a lot of struggles, but I'm not going to say, “Thanks Obama” sarcastically. I wasn't old enough to pay attention to politics in those days, so I don’t know what I’d be thanking him for. Do Democrat’s know what to thank him for? Do Democrats know anything about Obama’s presidency?

Voting for Obama was like feeding the homeless with invisible sandwiches. Ideologically, the sandwich taste great, but in reality, the homeless are starving. To drive the metaphor home, what did hope, progressive ideals, and being black do for Chicago? If Obama wanted to make a real change, wouldn’t he have started with the inner cities of Illinois?

With light research I was able to look up the crime rates of Illinois, and found that the Murder rate in Illinois remained the exact same, sometimes higher, while Obama was president. I don’t interpret this as Obama’s fault. I’m just making a point, that Obama is disingenuous. Obama left the inner cities of Chicago behind, so why would he care about anyone else? I’m not going to use MLA format to reference this because I question authority. Here’s a link to my light research, so you can read it yourself. (Murder rates per year 2005-2016:780, 770, 780, 752,790,773, 704, 781, 770, 722, 690, 754, 1,054)(disastercenter.com/crime/ilcrime.htm).

To state my point one last time, Obama’s traction came from two things. It was Obama's message of hope, and he was black. The issue is that if Obama were white, he would have remained an unknown senator of Illinois, albeit a smooth unknown senator of Illinois… So? Millions of Americans vote for a black president? What's wrong with that? There is absolutely nothing wrong with voting for a black president, and everything wrong with voting based solely on the color of skin.

Obama didn’t do anything noteworthy, remarkable, or heroic during his presidency. I remember a recession, a war crime, and a failed (extortionist) healthcare system. There is nothing to talk about. The point is, I’m not really talking about Obama. I'm commenting on identity politics, and how it's being used by politicians for evil. We’ve already touched on how Identity politics is racist, let’s delve further into this.

Skin color is not an indicator of character. I thought this was obvious, but then Kamala Harris came along, and now I’m not sure. Identity politics worked with Obama, so they tried again with “Prison Empress Laughs a Lot” the vice president of the United States. Identity politics worked once again with Harris. Regular democrats didn’t bother to research her, they just know she is a “woman of color,” so here we are with a prison filler policy maker, who piggy backed social justice to gain power, yet is singlehandedly responsible for enacting policy designed to send black people to prison.

The first step in my political journey is planting my feet and saying, “I have a problem with the democratic party.” I stand against evil, and unfortunately, I only have my eyes to guide me, but I trust my eyes. I stand against any person, or organization who uses heated topics like racism, abortion, trans rights, immigration to divide human beings. Democrats use divisive politics to gain power.

Hypocrisy, Disingenuous pandering, and division is the holy trinity in democrat politics. Andrew Breitbart’s, Righteous Indignation opened my eyes to the foul play at hand, but the most important of the three, especially now, is understanding division. It doesn’t really matter what the issue is, so long as democrats can pick a side (the side of the victim) and succeed in dividing everyday-people. Pit neighbor against neighbor because, “I always knew they was a racist.”

Democrats didn’t choose Obama as the face of their party for eight years because they believed in his message. The democratic party knew they could manipulate millions of people by dividing us and labeling. Us vs Them. There are the racists, and there are the democrats.

Why would Joe and Kamala stoke the flames of George Floyd? Why else did they keep the topic on racism? They did it to make you mad. They wanted to divide us all, as if the tragedy of lost life isn't enough for Floyd's family. They skinned George Floyd and wore his hide like a cape. Joe and Kamala, the heroes. If Kamala Harris wanted prison reform, she could have changed things a long time ago as Kieron Kessler writes in The Journal, Kamala Harris is a prison abolitionist’s worst nightmare, “Kamala Harris spent 27 years enforcing laws that target Black and brown communities through mass incarceration. These laws include the “three strikes law” implemented in 1994 and the “stop and frisk” policy.”

If they are fundamentally racist, and they don’t care about what they say, and they only want to divide the nation, what do they want with all that power? Obama and Biden secured power for the democrats, because people don't pay attention. People see "BLACK PRESIDENT" and lock in their answer. Democrats counted on people's racism, and like the broken society we are, we answered racism with more racism.

We don't see what they do when they have the power, but as a nation we feel it. I didn’t know this at the time (I was 10), but with light research (light!) I found out Obama added about 8.6 trillion dollars to the national debt. (https://www.thebalance.com/us-debt-by-president-by-dollar-and-percent-3306296)

To reiterate, Obama spent 8.6 trillion dollars during his 8 years in office. Let that sink in. Obama added a 74% increase to the national debt in 8 years, according to my light research. What does that mean, or frankly, what does it matter? Most people think of the national debt like a chipped nail, because it isn’t personal to them. You know what is personal? A paycheck. While we scream, “Tax the rich,” politicians are silently taxing the poor. When such obtuse spending is implemented, inflation skyrockets, the value of the dollar decreases, your saving’s account rendered useless, the hours of time laboring, stolen. What big spending does to the working class is silent slavery, and don’t worry It’s inclusive to all. That’s my understanding of what 29,000,000,000,000 in debt is.

What happens when Democrats take office? By my reasoning and logic (I’m highly intellectual) it looks like Democrats take power using a racist way of politicking (identity politics, divide and conquer, etc.) to spend more money than we have, which puts us into severe recessions, ultimately stealing money/labor from the poor. They blame republicans for putting us into the depression, they keep the working man down, while they get comfy, presidential salaries and bribes from morally autistic-lobbies, only to have the same working-class person, so confused and dependent on the government, they vote for the next corrupt politician preaching about hope.

And they always control the hope narrative. If hope works so well in keeping political power, wouldn’t that incentivize destruction: creating a desperate world, in order to control hope?

As working-class citizens, we labor eight-hour days, and leave our children in daycares for the same eight hours-With total strangers. We budget the gas money, the groceries, and kill ourselves at Christmas time, because it’s normal. We watch the Today show, so wealthy women can teach us how to live our lives better. We work, and try to save our money. Simultaneously rising inflation renders our saving useless. The hours we spent laboring, worthless and gone. In our miniscule hours of leisure, the wealthy make more and more money off of ad revenue. Buy, buy, buy. Stay poor. Keep working. Labor. Who benefits the most off of the working class? Who benefits from keeping the poor, poor?

We know the world is evil, we know wealthy rub elbows with wealthy, clinking Champaign glasses while we live paycheck to paycheck. All of our ailments, all of the hours, all of the work, the helplessness, all of it we foolishly blame on a nameless, faceless entity. We call it corruption, a label that insights rage, but we are powerless to stop it. "Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage” (More Emo for the degents).

Today I stare at my computer screen internally thrashing. If I can't figure out how to write this down, I am powerless to change anything in this world. What changed my mind? How can I change other people's minds? Why does no one care? China, Facebook, Corona Virus, masks, mail in ballots, Hunter Biden's laptop, CNN, the New York Times, Project Veritas, rioting, social distancing, censorship, worldly authoritarianism. I'm just a regular person... how can I persuade this world if the louder, smarter voices can't do it themselves?

I’m asking questions, knowing that I may be wrong. I’m asking questions because I’m wrong. I’m asking questions because I’m not afraid of being wrong. I’m not afraid of growing, and changing, and that’s what I can do to make the world a better place. If I can make myself better, then really, isn’t the world a better place, one person at a time? So, I ask.

What if it’s not just a world where we must suffer? What if people are intentionally building a world where you will suffer? Who profits off from our suffering? It’s not a simple answer, because it’s all so complex, but that does not leave out regular people from the discussion, because we’re the people policies directly affect. I’m a regular person. And as a regular person, I have the fucking power to give it a name.

Chaos ensues after a democratic-presidency. What are you doing with our time Democrats? What about the kids in cages? What are you doing with our time democrats? Where are the prison reforms? What are you doing with our time democrats? Why is Penicillin $500.00 for 10 doses (light research)? What are you doing with our time?

It is clear to see that Democrats don’t do anything about the issues they claim to care about. Come election time they are screaming about the changes they will make, but once they’re in office, they don’t change a damn thing. Why would they? How could they get elected again if things were better? What would their speeches be about, if not of hope? As leaders, democrats either drag their feet, like lifting mask mandates, or they make a mess of everything, like our departure from Kabul.

We curse the nameless, faceless overlords for how evil they are. Then we vote for the next one. We are so easily controlled, so easily manipulated by the names of what we identify as. Are we democrat, or are we republican?

Identity Politics.

The evil in the world does not have to be faceless. I am calling it out. The only evil I see are the people that divide the people. Because when you divide the people, you take away our power. When you take away our power, we can't stop evil, like the CIA pedophiles not being prosecuted. I am judging. The party that is racist, the party that is divisive, the party that is hypocritical, the party that is evil is the democratic party.

You can say that republicans are evil too, but you already hate those racist conservative bastards. Why not try hating both parties for a change. Take that first brave step into the unexplored world of questioning democrats. When you hate them both, equally without the constraints of remaining loyal to your party, you may find yourself identifying less and less with democrats. Maybe you'll end up like me. You could end up thinking like a no-good, dirty, rotten conservative. But I'm a young girl, what do I know?
