The Democrats are responsible for:

Trail of Tears genocide

I'd say that's checkmate.

Civil War Memorial Statues

Sound like they'd be perfect Trumpublicans up till about 1964 when the coalition of Northern Democrats and Republicans passed the Civil Rights Act. That began the split from the racist wing of the Democrat Party, which has been since annexed by the Trumpublicans.

Why note the 1964 act?

The Civil Rights Act of 1957 was supported by all the Republicans in the Senate, but only 29 of 47 Democrats…and a number of the ‘segregationist’ Democrats were northern Dems (Oregon, Washington, Montana, and Wyoming). Not southerners: Democrats.

a. There were plenty of southern integrationists. They were Republicans.




Did you want to mention this?
a. Clinton’s mentor was J. William Fulbright, a vehement foe of integration who had voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964. “Sen. William Fulbright (D-Ark.), awarded the Medal of Honor by Bill Clinton, was a staunch segregationist; Al Gore Sr. (D-Tenn.) vehemently opposed equal rights for blacks.” Who are the real racists?

6. I contend that many of the social problems of society today stem from a lack of parental instruction.
But a parent is no longer home to raise the kiddies because of the Democrat/Progressive attack on marriage and the family......

....and because of the exorbitant and reckless raising of takes on the American family.




The signature of the Democrat Party is the one that has resulted in American families needing two incomes: taxes.

But he did identify what he called “tactical lessons.” He let himself look too much like “the same old tax-and-spend liberal Democrat.” The Education of President Obama



The greatest bar to both the accumulation of wealth, and the resultant requirement that secular government schooling bring up our children.....is taxation.

With the result that appears in headlines, daily.




No Democrat Party would result in a more manageable tax rate.

7. Because of the Democrat Party and the Soviet-like attacks on marriage and the family….

“….The United States has a higher share of single-parent households than 129 other countries, a recent analysis from the Pew Research Center reveals.

Twenty-three percent of U.S. children live with a single adult, Pew found, compared with an average of just 7 percent around the world. Of the 130 countries from which Pew obtained survey data, rates of single-parent households ranged from the low 20s in the United States and United Kingdom to as low as 1 or 2 percent in countries like Turkey and Afghanistan.

The report suggests that America's record-high rate, a product of the steady decline in two-parent homes in the United States…” America Has World's Highest Rate of Single-Parent Households






8. "We can see that all elements of the socialist ideal--the abolition of private property, family, hierarchies; the hostility toward religion--could be regarded as a manifestation of one basic principle: the suppression of individuality.... All this is inspired by one principle--the destruction of individuality or, at least, its suppression to the point where it would cease to be a social force. " Igor Shafarevich

9. If there were no Democrat Party, and American traditions of marriage and family had not been impacted, there would be far fewer single-parent households…..and less of this:

“The strongest predictor of whether a person will end up in prison, is that they were raised by a single parent”.
C.C. Harper and S.S. McLanahan, “Father Absence and Youth Incarceration”, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Sociological Assoc., San Francisco, CA, 1998

In 1996, 70% of inmates in state juvenile detention centers serving long sentences, were raised by single mothers. Wade Horn, “Why There Is No Substitute For Parents”, IMPRIMIS 26, NO.6, June, 1997

72% of juvenile murderers, and 60% of rapists came from single mother homes.
Chuck Colson, “How Shall We Live?” Tyndale House , 2004, p.323

70% of teen births occur to girls in single mother homes.
David T. Lykken, “Reconstructing Fathers”, American Psychologist 55, 681,681, 2000

70% of drop-outs, and 70% of teen suicides come from single mother homes.
Wade Horn, “Why There Is No Substitute For Parents,” IMPRIMIS 26, N0. 6, June 1997

70% of runaways, 70% of juvenile delinquents, and 70% of Child murderers, come from single mother homes.

“Girls raised without fathers are more sexually promiscuous, and more likely to end up divorced.”

If you knew it in advance, would you have accepted this for our welfare system????

10. “…data from the U.S. Census Bureau show. In 1960, just 9 percent of U.S. children lived with one parent, and just 3 percent lived with either a non-parent relative or a non-relative. By 2019, the Census Bureau estimated that 26 percent of children lived with single parents (a figure that varies from Pew's due to methodological differences), while just 4 percent lived with non-parent relatives or non-relatives.

…those who have children out of wedlock—which accounts for more than 40 percent of children born today—can easily find themselves both economically unable to handle the challenge and bereft of the extended family support relied upon in many other countries.

The results for children are often grim. Although academics debate about causality, single parenting is strongly related to risk for poverty and lower educational attainment on the part of the child, as well as incarceration among boys and teenage pregnancy among girls. As the share of single-parent households increases, the risk of these adverse outcomes also rises.” America Has World's Highest Rate of Single-Parent Households





11. Earlier in the thread, some poster offered this as the exchange for intact families and children brought up with a far better chance of avoiding poverty, suicides, promiscuity, and prison:

Social Security
Medicare
Obamacare

What would be the result if that choice were the actual ballot?
