A split has occurred in the Democratic Party that we need to understand. The misunderstanding is partly our fault as political analysts. Too often we’ve dismissed the leftward philosophical surge in the Democratic Party as simply liberals taking over the party. But many Democratic strategists, including James Carville, are sounding the alarm that Democrats are going too far.

This Marxist movement has become infectious among many Democrats. The Bladen County Board of Elections even recently voted against allowing the Pledge of Allegiance before meetings.. That’s really a leftist position that even most Democrats oppose.

Virginia is another example. Once Democrats controlled the legislature they began transforming the state by first tightening Second Amendment freedoms. It is a glimpse into what will now happen when Democrats are fully in charge.

This especially scares Democrat strategists. Carville says his party is turning into a cult. Even liberal CNN correspondent Chris Matthews recently warned that socialism doesn’t work.

The Democratic National Convention is currently being criticized for rigging their convention against Bernie Sanders. It all is in recognition of this dangerous leftward tug on the Democratic Party.

The point is that rather than agreeing on American values and simply disagreeing on how to achieve them, many Democrats now want a Marxist transformation. It may be too late for Democrats to fix the party. Many are crossing over.

Liberals should really join conservatives to preserve traditional American values. Hopefully, liberals understand that conservatives are not their enemy. The left is.
