DEMOCRATS: Party is out of touch

| January 15, 2023 1:00 AM

I am an East L.A. born Chicano who was raised in an African American community in California at a time when restrictive housing covenants were used to achieve racial segregation, and I would like to inform Mr. Evan Koch and other Democrats why I left the Democrat Party in 2000.

The Democrat Party is philosophically postmodernist, and has therefore abandoned the principles of objective truth, logic and reasoning. The Democrats are ideologically modern-day Marxists in line with the Frankfurt School, which uses identity politics, government overreach and anti-Christian rhetoric in order to divide and conquer society for the purpose of taking and maintaining power and control.

The Democrats are the party of the elite and the rich who despise average and patriotic Americans. Democrats celebrate ethnic and racial diversity at the expense of eliminating diversity of thought, which has been manifested by the suppression of free speech in education, the workplace, and the news media, which then deliver biased news. Democrats embrace the LGBTQ+ agenda with the consequence of persecuting Christians in public education, higher educational institutions, and in the workplace.

I recommend that native and longtime citizens of Idaho look no further than California as an example of what the Democrats have done to a once great state. More important than what Democrats say is what they do and the consequences of what they do.
