3 Most Radical Ideas From the Democratic Convention
International Man: The Democratic National Convention recently took place in Chicago. It was a mishmash of uniformly destructive ideas.
Zooming out, what are your thoughts on the overall convention?
Doug Casey: The dominant memes there were envy, hypocrisy, and socialism. Three things that always go together.
Along with that triumvirate of values, a triumvirate of pants-suit-wearing females, supported by a horde of psychologically damaged cat ladies, is leading the Democratic Party. As Jim Kunstler likes to say, Hillary was flapping her leathery wings over the convention. Big Mike, Barack Obama’s dominant alter ego, positioned herself as the 2028 candidate. And then there was the pathetic Kamala Harris, the affirmative action hire. If only Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS, was still around to make it a foursome. They kept talking about democracy, which is an illusion in the degenerate, multicultural domestic empire that the US has become.
Meanwhile, it was clear that Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic Party’s malignant queen, conducted a palace coup on the non compos mentis Biden. She undoubtedly gave him an ultimatum: step down the easy way or the hard way. The man who bested the Mighty Cornpop slunk off to his basement to eat ice cream and dream of sniffing young girls’ hair.
Kamala, a dislikable nobody who came out of nowhere four years ago to become the most unlikely choice for vice president, has now become the most unlikely of choices for President. I think there’s a fair chance Biden will step down in the next few months so she can become the first woman President; her incumbency might aid her election prospects.
It’s funny how these people talk about democracy and freedom, even as those concepts are being banished from the US, which is rapidly becoming a police state. Harris and Walz are ideological communists. Of course, they don’t call themselves communists, but their beliefs and lifelong histories tell the tale. They’re not just garden-variety leftists. They’re far worse; they’re malevolent buffoons, veritable lowlifes. We’ve come a long way from the Founding Fathers, who were classically educated, thoughtful, independent men of property.
It’s perverse that the only hope to save what’s left of America from the Evil Party is the Stupid Party. Even though the stupidity represented by the Republicans might be even more dangerous, at least evil can be identified and countered; stupidity is amorphous, nebulous, and like drowning in a cesspool. Even the gods themselves are powerless against stupidity.
Worse, the problem is much bigger than two corrupt political parties. It’s that nobody in politics, the media, academia, entertainment, the business world, or frankly anywhere, decries the moral rot that has allowed these people to rise to the levels they have.
The Republicans don’t decry the Democrats for promoting evil ideas. They just say that they have unworkable ideas or that they’re going
