Blog #255 America Under Attack Internally…STOP NOW!
How Can Anyone Vote for Democrat Lunacy?
John Shoemaker, April 2026
What the hell is wrong with Americans?
Have many Americans lost their senses, or are they just plain ignorant of the consequences for not voting in elections or voting for false promises?
They seem to be blind to the consequences of failed ideologies, of the basic history of humanity, or that they don’t know what real poverty is like in their self-absorbed, privileged, spoiled, and arrogant bubble?
So much has become obvious about what the Democrats/Democrat-Socialists/Democrat- Communists promote and believe in policies that are against any reasonable standard of credible rationality. This partial list of completely ludicrous policies gives some idea of the magnitude of policies completely out of step with reality.
Domestically: Continued Policy Beliefs by Democrat-Socialists…they want to…but NONE OF IT IS GOOD! NO COMMON SENSE!
1. Raise taxes for the rich, landlords, and corporations, while positioning capitalism as evil, to increase state/city budgets still more, even as they are in serious debt. Wealth taxes are extreme, especially when applied to unearned capital gains.
2. Bring back open borders to expand the voter base in support of Democrats.
3. Support Amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants while paying for their housing, health, schools, food, legal aid, transportation, and more (reparations?).
4. Gender care: sex changes for children without parental notice or approval, regardless of the risks to these children and parents.
5. TransMen in women’s sports – why are they against women's sports?
6. Give Reparations for people who were not slaves, never owned slaves, and may live in States that did not allow slaves, but must be funded by people who also did not own slaves or have anything to do with the slave trade.
7. War on fossil fuels: outlawing gas/diesel vehicles, trying to replace oil with unreliable and unscalable solar/wind, all based on the ludicrous “Green New Deal”.
8. Allowing homelessness to grow worse while spending billions more without any long-term solution.
9. Liberal attitudes consider criminals as victims, prisons need to be emptied, and offenders should get light or no sentences since they are victims of the ills of society. Also, be tolerant of drug use, regardless of the dangers to the lives of so many Americans.
10. Woke/DEI being nothing more than legalized discrimination and dumbs down America by reducing standards for performance. Of course, everything is racist to justify social changes in American culture, which has a history of being meritocratic. Equity is NOT equality. Diversity is not a panacea. Inclusion is a virtue that negates competence.

The issues go far beyond the Top Ten above. More recently, Democrats are pounding the drums to implement the following domestic and international policies:
· They want another attempt to Impeach President Trump.
· Terminate the organization of ICE/DHS.
· Replace police with social workers at all levels of the state, local, and federal government.
· Revelations of massive government fraud funding criminal NGOs, political campaigns, illegals, criminals, and superfluous programs. Fraud seems to be systemic in the Democratic political structure beyond our comprehension.
· Reliance on Obama’s JCPOA agreement with Iran to stop nuclear development with billions in payments, instead of Trump’s War with Iran, regardless of the fact that Iran continued development of nuclear weapons capability and ballistic missile delivery systems.
· Embrace globalism again over Trump’s MAGA nationalism, which Trump believes will bring manufacturing back to America. Globalism gave rise to China’s mercantile dominance while destroying our manufacturing base.
· Continue support for the UN and NATO without changes
· Support Ukraine, Venezuela, and Iran, and reject Israel and Trump on everything regarding foreign policies.
· End actions against drug cartels in the Caribbean and Central American countries.
· In NY, we see efforts to operate free grocery stores, free buses, free support for illegals, price control for rents, and even mandating government approval of sales of apartments and homes. All of these communist ideas will result in high city/state debt, stagnate housing, and force high-level taxpayers to leave.

Most Important…what Trump/Conservatives believe in and promote…
Americans should understand the key strategic differences that will determine America's fate over the next decade.
1. Our Constitution: Democrat-Socialists want to rewrite several Amendments, including the right to bear arms, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and more. To get what they want, they will remove the filibuster to allow simple majorities to pass partisan bills. They also want to create a one-party political system in the US by making both Washington DC and Puerto Rico States. Add to that, retain no voter ID to allow illegals to vote.
2. Our Culture of Exceptionalism: Democrat-Socialists would eliminate our meritocracy to create a new Woke/DEI world where people are promoted/hired based on their color, be racist against white people, ignore qualifications in any competitive situation, and seek wealth distribution, which would kill motivation to achieve and overachieve goals. We would lose individual initiatives, innovation, and independence as people would be obligated and controlled by government programs. Americans have historically been self-driven, pioneering, self-reliant, and free to pursue happiness their own way, without government intervention or control.
3. Our Capitalism: the reasons for the incredible success of the US are due to a capitalist structure that allows entrepreneurship, venture capital risk-taking, technology leadership, and a stock market culture with IPO’s that ignite innovation and risk-taking. Capital markets have high liquidity, which funds business expansion. All of this is responsible for creating the most successful economy and wealth for a nation than ever before in human history. Supporting this also includes private property ownership, a system of laws and settled litigation, and reasonable regulation for social protection.
4. Our World Leadership: for decades, the US single-handedly supported global trade with a blue water navy and other military alliances like NATO to ensure safe trade and encourage peace. Globalism was a flawed experiment that grew the economies of our enemies (China, Russia) while gutting our private manufacturing industries. Trump has changed the strategy to focus more on making America more effective and successful domestically, without leaving it vulnerable to others, such as China.
5. Our Christian-Judeo Code of Justice: our Justice System, while not perfect, works well enough to provide a level of confidence in economic operations, personal safety, and fairness with accountability. Trouble arises when liberal justices stray from the essence of accountability with light/no sentences and a perspective on criminals that encourages more crime, not less.
GREATEST FEARS for AMERICA’s FUTURE
We must stop the War on Capitalism. Socialism is a proven, flawed system and cannot be ignored. Socialism reduces individual freedom as government involvement in our lives increases to an ever greater extent. Eventually, high taxes and extensive social programs cause slow/no growth, disincentivize wealth creation, and do not encourage innovation. Just compare the US rate of innovation to ALL other countries in the World combined and in all time. It is astounding. Capitalism and any economy need ENERGY. We must not have a war on fossil fuels. Yes, we must accept climate change is happening, but we must adapt, not surrender to it. Other forms of energy must be pursued: nuclear, oil, coal, natural gas, tides, hydro, fusion, whatever makes sense in a comprehensive hybrid energy strategy.
Diversity can divide. Without assimilation, a country becomes a collection of competing tribes. This is a path to mediocrity and internal conflict.
Islam is not just a religion or, in practice, a religion of peace. It is a system of government with its own systems of laws and finance: Sharia Law and Sharia Finance, in addition to a religion to capture worshipers. Millions of Muslims across the World support radical ideas to fight, conquer, or kill infidels. As demonstrated every day, Muslims kill Christians, LGBTQI+ people, Hindus, Buddhists, Shintoists, and heck…any non-Muslim and even other Muslims (Sunni vs Shiite, for example). We can see that the majority of Muslims who emigrated to Europe have been on government welfare for years or their lifetime. They are not focused on work/production. They rely on others to support them and their large families. With large concentrations, as witnessed in London, they will force their will on the non-Muslims. We can watch it unfold in NY City.
Radical Liberalism: America is being pummeled by radical social ideas that do not add value, create peace, sponsor wealth creation, and give false notions that free stuff is free. We must protect our culture from liberal-socialist extremes that falsely intend to help those who don’t work or don’t want to work, that rob individual initiative, growth, and innovation, and create harmful dependencies that destroy hope and exceptional lifestyles.
Big Government is not the answer. The level of massive fraud we are experiencing can destroy the integrity of our institutions. Why pay taxes when government radicals waste it or steal it for personal gain or agendas? We cannot sustain the out-of-control national debt forever. The price to be paid will be high and long-lasting. The government cannot solve all problems and must rely on individual resilience and creativity, resolution by market forces, and a strong commitment to institutional effectiveness, not waste, fraud, and abuse.
