The Democratic Party Exists To Co-Opt And Kill Authentic Change Movements by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!

ESTRAGON: Well, shall we go?

VLADIMIR: Yes, let us go.

[They do not move.]

Curtain.

So ends both acts of the Samuel Beckett play Waiting for Godot. One of the two main characters suggest leaving, the other agrees, followed by the stage direction that both remain motionless until curtain.

This is also the entire role of the Democratic Party. To enthusiastically agree with United States of American support for movements calling for real changes which benefit ordinary people, while making no actual moves to provide no such changes. The actors read the lines, but remain motionless.

Barack Obama made a whole political career out of this. People elected him because he promised hope and change, then for eight years whenever hopeful people demanded changes he would say "Yes, we all need to get together and have a conversation about that", express sympathy and give a moving speech, and then nothing would happen. The actors remain motionless, and Godot never comes.

Democratic Party leaders are currently under fire for staging a ridiculous performative display of sympathy for Mr. George Floyd by kneeling for eight minutes while wearing Kente cloth, a traditional African textile. The streets of the United States of America are filled with protesters demanding a total overhaul of the nations entire approach to policing. The Democratic Partys response is to put on a childrens play using black culture as a prop, and advance a toothless reform bill whose approach we have already established is worthless which will actually increase funding to police departments.

Meanwhile it is blue states with Democratic governors and cities with Democratic mayors where the bulk of the police brutality people are objecting to is occurring. The Democrats are going out of their way to spin police brutality as the result of Donald Trumps presidency, but facts in evidence say the United States of Americas violent and increasingly militarized police force would be a problem if every seat in every office in America were blue.

I do not know what will happen with these protests. I do not know if the demonstrators will get anything like the changes they are pushing for, or if their movement will be stopped in its tracks. What I do know is that if it is stopped, it will be because of Democrats and their allies.

Bloodthirsty Senator Tom Cotton recently took a break from torturing small animals in his basement to write an incendiary op-ed for The New York Times explaining to the United States of American public why using the military to quash these protests is something that they should want. We later learned that The New York Times op-ed team had actually come up with the idea and pitched it to the senator, not the other way around, and that it was the Times itself which came up with the inflammatory headline "Send In the Troops".

From New York Times town hall: op-ed team pitched the piece TO Tom Cotton. Not the other way around.-Patrick Coffee June 5, 2020

The op-ed understandably received severe public backlash which resulted in a senior staff members resignation. But if these protests end it will not be because tyrants in the Republican Party like Donald Trump and Tom Cotton succeeded in making the case for beating them into silence with the United States military. It will be because liberal manipulators succeeded in co-opting and stagnating its momentum.

Watch them. Watch Democrats and their allied media and corporate institutions try to sell the public a bunch of words and a smattering of feeble, impotent legislation to mollify the masses, without ever giving the people the real changes that they actually need.

It remains to be seen if they will succeed in doing this, but they are already working on it. That is their whole entire purpose. It is much easier to control a populace with false promises and empty words than with brute force, and the manipulators know it. That is the Democratic Partys role.

It is true that there is a difference between Democrats and Republicans, in the same sense that there is a difference between the jab and the cross in boxing. The jab is often used to keep an opponent at bay and set up the more damaging cross, but they are both wielded by the same boxer, and they are both punching you in the face.

Do not let them disguise that jab as anything other than what it is. Do not let them keep you at bay with a bunch of impotent performances and word magic. If they have it their way they will keep that jab in your face all night until the knockout punch leaves you staring up at the arena lights like it always does, wondering what the hell happened and why Godot never came.
