It's Deja Vu....All Over Again"

              I was a Robert Kennedy Democrat in my teens....and a Ronald Reagan Republican from about the age of thirty-two. RFK was the most compassionate politician that I have come across in my over fifty years of observing politics in America. We loved RFK back then....and we loved Reagan. We worship Trump today....not I but many of those on our side today. Some may use the word love....I heard a female Breitbart radio host use that word....and I heard Mark Levin once say...."I adore that man"....but love as in an FDR or a JFK....or RFK or Reagan is long gone.
             Tsarism had become an intolerable situation for many of the people. A genuine revolution had removed them....but a small band of violent Bolsheviks pretended to be part of the people's cause....and then muscled their way to leadership....and then wound up killing everyone in sight to stay there. That was Russia....a few years later in Germany....the Weimar Republic was despised.....much like we on our side despised the establishment republicans. Meanwhile the communists were a genuine threat within Germany. Once again the established government was done away with....and once again a small group within muscled itself into leadership....set up by the Stormtroopers at first....until they were no longer needed.
           "It's Deja Vu....All Over Again"....was one of Yogi Berra's funny quotes. The baby boomer Democrat needs to realize how their party was muscled…and we need to realize the same thing on our side. The rhetoric and the tactics are out of control. There are two older posts related to Russia and Germany just a few posts below this.
