1. The Democratic establishment has vortexed
the party's narrative energy into hysteria about Russia (a state with a lower
GDP than South Korea). It is starkly obvious that were it not for this hysteria
insurgent narratives of the type promoted by Bernie Sanders would rapidly
dominate the party's base and its relationship with the public. Without the
"We didn't lose--Russia won" narrative the party's elite and those
who exist under its patronage would be purged for being electorally incompetent
and ideologically passé. The collapse of the Democratic vote over the last
eight years is at every level, city, state, Congressional and presidential. It
corresponds to the domination of Democratic decision making structures by a
professional, educated, urban service class and to the shocking decline in
health and longevity of white males, who together with their wives, daughters,
mothers, etc. comprise 63% of the US population (2010 census). Unlike other
industrialized countries US male real wages (all ethnic groups combined) have
not increased since 1973. In trying to stimulate engagement of non-whites and
women Democrats have aggressively promoted identity politics. This short-term
tactic has led to the inevitable strategic catastrophe of the white and male
super majorities responding by seeing themselves as an unserviced political
identity group. Consequently in response to sotto-voce suggestions that Trump
would service this group 53% of all men voted for Trump, 53% of white women and
63% of white men (PEW Research).
2. The Trump-Russia
collusion narrative is a political dead end. Despite vast resources, enormous
incentives and a year of investigation, Democratic senators who have seen the
classified intelligence at the CIA such as Senator Feinstein (as recently as
March) are forced to admit that there is no evidence of collusion
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BS5amEq7Fc]. Without collusion, we are left
with the Democratic establishment blaming the public for being repelled by the
words of Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party establishment. Is it a
problem that the public discovered what Hillary Clinton said to Goldman Sachs
and what party elites said about fixing the DNC primaries against Bernie
Sanders? A party elite that maintains that it is the "crime of the
century" for the public and their membership to discover how they behave
and what they believe invites scorn.
3. The Democrat establishment needs the
support of the security sector and media barons to push this diversionary
conspiracy agenda, so they ingratiate themselves with these two classes leading
to further perceptions that the Democrats act on behalf of an entrenched power
elite. Eventually, Trump or Pence will 'merge' with the security state leaving
Democrats in a vulnerable position having talked up two deeply unaccountable
traditionally Republican-aligned organizations, in particular, the CIA and the
FBI, who will be turned against them. Other than domestic diversion and
geopolitical destabilization the primary result of the Russian narrative is
increased influence and funding for the security sector which is primarily GOP
owned or aligned.
4. The twin result is to place the primary
self-interest concerns of most Americans, class competition, freedom from crime
and ill health and the empowerment of their children, into the shadows and
project the Democrats as close to DC and media elites. This has further
cemented Trump's anti-establishment positioning and fettered attacks on Trump's
run away embrace of robber barons, dictators and gravitas-free buffoons like
the CIA's Mike Pompeo.
5. GOP/Trump has open goals everywhere:
broken promises, inequality, economy, healthcare, militarization, Goldman
Sachs, Saudi Arabia & cronyism, but the Democrat establishment can't kick
these goals since the Russian collusion narrative has consumed all its energy
and it is entangled with many of the same groups behind Trump's policies.
6. The Democratic
base should move to start a new party since the party elite shows no signs that
they will give up power. This can be done quickly and cheaply as a result of
the internet and databases of peoples' political preferences. This reality is
proven in practice with the rapid construction of the Macron, Sanders and Trump campaigns from
nothing. The existing Democratic party may well have negative reputational
capital, stimulating a Macron-style clean slate approach. Regardless, in the
face of such a threat, the Democratic establishment will either concede control
or, as in the case of Macron, be eliminated by the new structure.
