Democrats hate Putin and they want to make sure that you know it. The only problem is that Democrats don’t actually hate Putin. It’s pure theater and the acceptance of this narrative demands that you abandon reality and take the Democrats strictly at their word—not recommended given their track record of lying.
The conjoined “Trump/Republicans Love Putin” and “Democrats Hate Putin” narratives are as rooted in reality as another set of familiar and conjoined false narratives: “Democrats are the Champions of Blacks” and “Republicans are the Party of Racists!” These twin lies regarding each respective Party’s history regarding race relations in America is one of the most egregious myths perpetrated by Democrats—so offensive to basic human intelligence that I devoted an entire chapter of my new book, America’s Last Stand: Will You Vote to Save or Destroy America in 2024?, to demolishing this myth, which I call the “Myth of the Big Switch.”
As I explain:
“According to this Democrat myth, in 1964 the Democratic Party miraculously became the party of civil rights and blacks in America, while the Republican Party suddenly became the party of anti-black racism in America. The legend was born when the Democrat president Lyndon B. Johnson, the notoriously racist, pro-segregation, anti-civil rights advocate, signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 into law. It’s an assault on the truth.”
Suffice to say that the “Myth of the Big Switch” was the most effective PR campaign in American history. As I also explain in my book:
“The Democratic Party had been the de facto pro-slavery and anti-black rights party in America for the entirety of their history in America. But suddenly in 1964 they became the de facto advocates for blacks’ rights? Give me a break. It’s like McDonalds slapping a salad on the menu and claiming to be the de facto advocates of nutrition. Johnson simply hijacked the civil rights movement for his own political empowerment and that of the Democratic Party.”
Just as Democrats created the “Big Switch” myth in the 1960’s out of desperate political necessity—retaining black support in order to win elections—the Democrats are presently weaving together a similar myth as it relates to each Party’s historic relationship with Putin, Russia, the USSR, communism, etc out of a desperate political need to win elections this November.
The Democrat Party’s abrupt, loudly inauthentic hatred of Putin is as abrupt and overtly inauthentic as their previous pronouncement of their affection for blacks in the 1960’s. Prior to 2016, when Democrats concocted another myth—Trump-Russia Collusion—Democrats and the left had a very cozy and even mutually beneficial relationship with Russia.
In 2010, it was the Obama administration that approved the sale of one-fifth of U.S. Uranium reserves to Russia via the partial sale of a Canadian mining company named Uranium One to the Russian nuclear company Rosatom. The Obama DOJ even concealed from Congress a racketeering scheme involving Russian energy officials that would certainly have sunk the deal.
Prior to the approval of the transaction, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s husband and former President Bill Clinton was coincidentally offered $500,000 by a Kremlin-linked Russian bank to give a single speech in Moscow. The Clinton Foundation also received north of $145 million in donations by sources linked to the Uranium One deal.
In 2012, then-President Barack Obama was caught on a hot-mic telling then-Russian President Dmitri Medvedev that he would have “more flexibility” to negotiate on the issue of missile defense systems in Europe. “This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility,” Obama told Medvedev. “I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir,” Medvedev then replied.
It was the Obama administration that made resetting relations with Russia its highest priority. Who can forget the infamous meeting in Geneva in March of 2009, during which then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton presented the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov with a red reset button as a symbol of their devotion to improved relations. The word “reset” was mistranslated by the U.S.—using the Russian word for “overcharge.”
In 2014, Putin invaded and annexed Crimea while Obama was President. Obama responded to Putin’s aggression by announcing, "This is not another cold war that we're entering into. The United States and Nato do not seek any conflict with Russia.”
Public policy aside, the left and Democrats have long been ideological allies of the Soviet Union, communism, and marxism. Since the 1920’s the Communists have been making their homes in the Democrat Party, Democrat Unions, and Hollywood.
The McCarthyism of the 1950s—viewed by many as a paranoid response to the communist infiltration of our politics and institutions—seems not to have been paranoid at all in retrospect. Not only is President Biden compromised by his own entanglements with the CCP via his son Hunter’s business arrangements but the Democrat Party’s policies mirror those rooted in Marxism.
Bernie Sanders, twice a real contender for the Democrat Party’s nomination for Presidential candidate, admired the Soviet Union so much that he honeymooned in the USSR for ten days in 1988.
A a kid, Barack Obama was mentored in Hawaii by a well known communist named Frank Marshall Davis. As an adult and ambitious politician in Chicago, Obama befriended the communist and domestic terrorist Bill Ayers.
Hillary Clinton was a great admirer of Saul Alinsky, the famous community organizer who wrote the book Rules for Radicals in the 70s—a ‘how to’ guide to foment Marxist revolution in America. Clinton heaped praise on him as a college student at Wellesley College, writing her 92 page senior thesis on him.
The Democrat Party’s history is as steeped in pro-communist, pro-Soviet Union, pro-Putin sympathy and sympathizers as is their history steeped in racist, anti-Civil Rights, anti-black policy and champions. Democrats hate Putin like they fought to end slavery. It’s a farce.
Sadly, the “Myth of the Big Switch” has been accepted as reality by tens of millions of indoctrinated Americans. Will Americans really accept this latest myth—that despite a history of embracing radical marxism and communism the Democrats are suddenly rabidly anti-Russia, anti-Putin and anti-communist? Meanwhile Republicans, Trump, etc, who have always staunchly opposed all of the above are suddenly Putin puppets?
Democrats don’t hate Putin, they hate America. It’s yet another lie created to cover up their past sins and transmit them onto those, who bear no blame—a desperate election year stunt.
