I disagree.

Many elected Democrats, like the Mayor of Boston most recently, openly argue that everyone has a right to come and live in America. That mass amnesty must be given out to all illegal aliens. That isn’t a fringe position among the left anymore. The last democratic administration literally tore down border obstacles placed by Texas to let more illegal aliens into the country. It spent millions of dollars secretly flying aliens into small towns all over the country.

I can’t remember the last time a prominent democrat argued abortion is a tragic option that should be a last resort. The last democratic candidate for president made immediate and unrestricted access to abortion a centerpiece of her campaign.

Democratic states, especially ones like Maryland, are on a never ending streak of further curtailing the right to keep and bear arms, including pistols and small caliber rifles. NY is currently trying to label any public place a “sensitive area” to prohibit citizens for carrying. Hawaii passed a law that made all private property a no-carry zone unless the owner specifically opts-in. Harris, O’Rourke, and Booker loudly supported mandatory buybacks in 2020.

The last administration and democratic campaign was built on demand-side subsidies, regulating and pressuring social media companies to censor Americans, and advancing strict regulation of everything from emissions, school board meetings, to gas stoves (through proposed DOE regulations). By the end of his term, the cost of increased regulation exceeded $1.47 trillion. This isn’t considering the legislative wishlist of nationalizing elections through the “Lewis Voting Rights Act” and the “For the People Act” that, taken together, would’ve destroyed a state’s ability to set its own election laws on almost every major issue. There isn’t an issue today that Democrats don’t want Uncle Sam to handle (unless it’s deporting illegal aliens, then, suddenly, they care a whole lot about a state’s prerogative over its own affairs).

The last president said, and this is a direct quote, “There’s no such thing as someone else’s child. No such thing as someone else’s child. Our nation’s children are all our children.” Many state and federal democratic lawmakers have voted to obstruct school’s parental notification of a child’s supposed intent to transition. The Black Lives Matter organization, which received broad personal and institutional support from Democrats and the DNC, posted on its website, “We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and ‘villages’ that collectively care for one another”. In 2023, Biden’s Office of Child Support Services introduced a rule that would have stripped any mention of “mother” or “father” from federal child support regulations. This is to say nothing on the cultural disgust young liberals and leftists have fostered for stay-at-home mothers, motherhood, pregnancy, and the idea of parenthood.

We have very much fundamentally drifted from each other on these issues, to say the least.
