These have NEVER been democratic ideals.

14. These were never AMERICAN ideals

people for peace, human rights, fiscal responsibility and ecological protection used to exist in the Republican party too. The 1% have politicized issues that never before belonged to one party or another. Because human rights are supposed to be inalienable rights.

Now anyone going along with this new violent cult is considered Democratic, while resisting it is extremist, and just like every other country taken over by these neo cons, they demonize 'leftists', which is just another word for anyone not going along with their robbery and violence.

Overcoming this requires conviction, focus and special skills to match the skills these people have. Once you step out of the manufactured reality they are projecting, you see giant enthusiastic crowds--this is the only thing that is real, that we outnumber them, and if we had an election with paper ballots, we would win and everyone knows it.
