Top Democrat LEAVES Party FOR GOOD

During the debut episode of her titular “Tulsi Gabbard Show,” the former Democratic Congresswoman from Hawaii made a long-awaited announcement. Tulsi Gabbard is no longer a Democrat.

“President Biden campaigned on a message of unity, healing the partisan divide bringing the country together. He just gave a big speech saying supporters of President (Donald) Trump are the most extremist group in our country and a threat to our democracy. That’s half the country,” she said in her announcement video posted to YouTube on Tuesday.

Gabbard tweeted in a lengthy thread,

“I can no longer remain in today’s Democratic Party that is now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness, who divide us by racializing every issue & stoke anti-white racism, actively work to undermine our God-given freedoms, are…”

“…hostile to people of faith & spirituality, demonize the police & protect criminals at the expense of law-abiding Americans, believe in open borders, weaponize the national security state to go after political opponents, and above all, dragging us ever closer to nuclear war.”

“I believe in a government that is of, by, and for the people. Unfortunately, today’s Democratic Party does not. Instead, it stands for a government of, by, and for the powerful elite. I’m calling on my fellow common sense independent-minded Democrats to join me….”

“…in leaving the Democratic Party. If you can no longer stomach the direction that so-called woke Democratic Party ideologues are taking our country, I invite you to join me.”

Gabbard posted a full statement to her substack and pulled no punches.

“Today’s Democratic Party is undermining families. Families are the bedrock of civilization. Today’s Democratic Party does not recognize this truth and the importance of the central foundational role that families play in our society and civilization. They want to strip away the rights of parents to raise their kids, claiming the government knows what’s better for your children than you do,” she wrote.

Gabbard, who undoubtedly is NOT a conservative by any stretch of the imagination, seems to be occupying an odd position in the political strata. One of a liberal, but not necessarily a radical progressive huffing the fumes of racial identitarianism and socialistic wealth redistribution.

But where she seems to stake her claim is in rejecting the left’s current views on children. She wrote, “The largest teacher’s union in the country and one of the Democratic Party’s biggest donors, the National Education Association, recently passed a resolution that endorses the teaching of Critical Race Theory in classrooms across the country.”

She noted,

  • “Public school districts are implementing policies that sexualize kids as young as five or six years old.”
  • “Taxpayer dollars are used to bring in drag strippers and encourage gender transition surgery in minors – all kept secret from their parents.”
  • “HHS secretary Rachel Levine says young children should be empowered to get “gender-affirmation treatment,” which involves puberty blockers, chemical castration, and irreversible surgeries causing long-term harm to children.”
  • ” If parents do not comply, the Federal government threatens to take your children away.”

While Gabbard’s views cannot nor should not be embraced by conservatives in the political sphere, it seems she can at least be met openly at the negotiating table in good faith. As opposed to the radical racially motivated socialism that has dominated the Democratic Party since the presidency of Barack Obama.

If more Democrats can follow her lead, perhaps there is still hope for national reconciliation, or at a minimum, friendly cohabitation.
