Delicious Irony

The smoke has cleared from this week's Super Tuesday train wreck, but there are still some embers alive in the fire.  The Democrat Machine has again apparently sabotaged Bernie Sanders' campaign, which represents the new young commies like the Squad, and have thrown their support to Creepy Joe, who represents the white, corrupt and aging party elite..  Again.  Now that in itself is interesting for several reasons.  

Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden: Old Democrats

First, because President Trump himself has said that a campaign against Comrade Bernie would be tougher than one against Ol' Joe, it seems logical that the DNC would want to give Trump a harder run by putting Crazy Bernie up against him.  But no.  If they did that, it would be a tacit surrender to the party's hard, hard leftward drift, and the old white Democrat establishment would have to hand the reins of the party over to the Socialists/Marxists/Islamists/Communists like AOC, Ilhan, Rashid and the rabid Bernie Bro's who advocate for the leftward "transformation" of the United States.  And no matter what happens at home or abroad, the crusty white Democrat Machine ain't never - I say never, Amen! - gonna willingly hand over their power to young idealists/Islamists/radicals like they themselves once were.

The  Squad:  New Islamic/Marxist Democrats

Second, we now are witnessing an internal power struggle in the aging Democrat party; the established white guys versus the young idealistic radical people of color.  The irony is lost on the established white guys, and I include Nanny Pelosi in that cadre, that it was they themselves who imported, trained and groomed those who now challenge their status quo.  Talk about the Squad biting the hand that feeds. And the old guys are terrified of these new commie upstarts. At any rate, we see battle lines drawn as the crusty corrupt Democrat Machine squares off with the Antifa militants that they raised.

But to add a little more injury to the DNC's civil war, neither faction can beat Trump in November.  They know it and Trump knows it.  So for the DNC the solution becomes obvious:  Run Joe, sabotage Bernie.  Again.  Only time will tell if the hardcore Bernie Bros and their cohorts in Antifa take to the streets.

But eventually they will try to end this civil war, and attempt to put together a coalition of the Perpetually Corrupt and the Perceptually Angry in their all-inclusive party structure, and hope for the best in 2024, when they won't be up against Trump anymore. But if populism remains the driving political force for a decade or more, the Democrat Party may be experiencing its own death throes. And if that does in fact become the case, their destruction will be by their own hand.

And that will be a delicious irony.
