This is a companion article to "Why the Democratic Party is the Gravedigger of US Imperialism", which has a better reading experience.
As mentioned in the sister article, the Democratic Party has been working tirelessly to contribute to the cause of digging the grave of US imperialism. At this time, as the best of the Democratic Party's life, what is the Republican Party busy with?
Waiting to guard the tomb of the American emperor.
Someone digging a grave and someone guarding a tomb is the perfect combination!
Mausoleum keeper on a donkey: If the Republican Party can ride the Democratic Party to guard the mausoleum of the US imperialists, it can be regarded as a bad breath.
Since the fire of the tomb robbery network, everyone knows that the story of grave digging can be very exciting. Compared with digging graves, guarding the tomb is indeed boring and aggrieved, and it is definitely not what the Republican Party wants!
However, the situation is stronger than people!
As far as the current Republican Party is concerned, there are Democratic Party outside the party that is chaotic and desperately digging into the corners of the United States, and there are people in the party who understand the king's constraints and are too much for the emperor, so they can only watch the American bus gradually slide into the abyss.
The aggrieved Republican Party can't do anything but be aggrieved.
And the Republican Party's grievances did not begin today, nor will they end today.
Why the Republican Party is the Guardian of the Tomb of American Imperialism (Part I) A Brief History of the Republican Party
The Republican Party was born in 1854 and was at its peak when it debuted.
The predecessor of the Republican Party is believed by some to be the Whig Party, which was founded in 1834, while others believe that it is the earlier National Republican Party.
Zachary Taylor and Millard Fillmore, who shared a second term in the Whig Party, but, like the partisanship, did not leave much of a mark on history.
But that doesn't matter, the Republican Party hasn't changed its name since its founding in 1854, although its policy has changed dramatically.
At the beginning of its founding, the Republican Party emerged as an opposition party representing the "advanced productive forces."
Before the election of Lincoln, the first Republican party, in 1861, the Democratic Party was in power for a long time, and in the 32 years from 1829 to 1861, the Democratic Party was in power for 24 years, compared to the Whigs for only 8 years.
The 1:3 ratio of time to power was the main reason why the Whigs were so short-lived.
After the dissolution of the Whig Party, some of its leading members were not content to be defeated and re-formed the Republican Party.
Birthplace of the Republican Party: Ripon, Wisconsin.
One of the objective laws of history is that the vested interest groups on the stage are relatively conservative.
The reason is very simple, since it is a vested interest group, it is natural to maintain the existing ruling order and resist change.
The same was true of the Democratic Party at the time.
The impression left by the two parties in the United States is that the Democrats are open-minded and the Republicans are conservative. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, however, the two parties were in opposite personalities, with conservative Democrats and liberal Republicans.
At that time, the United States was still an agrarian country, and although capitalist industry and commerce had sprouted, its strength was relatively weak.
The Democratic Party represented the plantation owners in the South, so they vigorously defended slavery in the South.
After the first industrial revolution led by the textile industry in Britain, the southern plantations abandoned other crops and almost all switched to cotton** Britain, so the Democratic Party also demanded that tariffs remain low in order to promote cotton exports.
The owner of a cotton plantation with black slaves.
The Republican Party represents the emerging industrial and commercial capitalists of the North. In order to protect the fragile and backward domestic industry, the Republican Party has been trying to raise tariffs. In addition, in order to compete for cheap labor, the Republican Party also advocated the emancipation of black slaves.
Some people may think that it is strange that the capitalists lack labor, so why not buy black slaves?
This is a misunderstanding of history.
First, the real rich people in the United States at that time were not capitalists but farmers. To put it mildly, the American capitalists who were later coaxed were just small workshop owners who had just accumulated some savings.
Second, black slaves were very expensive, very, very expensive, and small workshop owners could not afford them.
Third, the international civil rights movement was in the ascendant, and the self-proclaimed advanced and enlightened capitalists were embarrassed to buy black slaves directly.
In this matter, the shrewdness of the "northern Yankees" is vividly reflected: "The black slaves in the south are liberated under the banner of human rights, and they can get cheap labor without spending a penny, and they can also earn a good reputation." ”
The New York Yankees, the word Yankees, also means Yankees.
In short, the Republican Party, which represents the direction of historical development, successfully came to power with the help of the civil rights movement in the nineteenth century.
After being elected, Lincoln, as the first president of the Republican Party, could not wait to be sworn in, and could not wait to announce that he would raise tariffs.
This can poke a hornet's nest. In a fit of rage, the southern slave states angrily declared their independence, followed by the well-known Civil War between the North and the South of the United States.
Again, the fundamental cause of the American Civil War was the conflict between the interests of industrial capital and agricultural capital, and the direct trigger was the dispute over tariffs.
Lincoln had openly shouted to the Southern states that they would be allowed to retain slavery as long as they renounced their independence. It's just that the Southerners of the United States have always been iron-headed and swore not to share the "country" with the cunning Northerners.
Note: On this point, you can look at today's Texas border conflict, the style of the white right and red neck in the south is still the same, the only thing that has changed is that the enemy of the past, the Republican Party, has now become a political ally.
Therefore, Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation in the course of the Civil War in order to win the Civil War, not to emancipate the Black Slaves.
This layer of cause and effect must not be reversed.
When Lincoln announced the Emancipation Proclamation, there was not a single black person at the scene, because it was a decision made by whites based on their own interests, and blacks were not required to participate.
The Civil War ended in a Northern victory, and the Republican Party reached its peak with its debut, ushering in the famous Republican era in American history.
In the following 72 years, until 1933, Hoover**, the Democratic Party only had 4 terms**, a total of 20 years in power, and the remaining 52 years, all of which were occupied by the Republicans, giving back a 26:1。
After 1933, however, the Republican Party's glory days were gone.
The reason is simple: the Republican Party, which has been in power for a long time, has gradually faded into a defender of vested interests, and its policies have become increasingly conservative.
The Democratic Party, which was forced into a corner, decided to find another way, under the banner of black equality, to develop the black vote base that was originally ignored.
Although Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation as early as 1863, the civil rights of blacks were not implemented, which gave the Democratic Party room to operate.
Even if they get the votes of the blacks, in the short term, the Democratic Party will not be able to achieve an overwhelming advantage, but it will recover the original decline.
In the decades since, the Democratic and Republican parties have remained largely evenly matched.
At this stage, in addition to developing black votes, the political differences between the two parties are not very large. To paraphrase the metaphor in the gravedigging series "Why the Democratic Party is the Gravedigger of US Imperialism", that is, no matter who drives, it is only the difference in driving style and specific lane selection, and the driving direction of American buses remains the same.
However, at the beginning of this century, with the changes in the racial structure of the population and the economic structure of the population in the United States, the basic electorates of the two parties gradually divided and moved towards antagonism, and the political views of the two parties became more and more different, and they gradually fell into vicious party disputes.
The American bus is finally locked in a battle for direction again.
It was at this stage that the days of the Republican Party began to become aggrieved.
Why the Democratic Party is the Gravedigger of US Imperialism" said that there are two major trends in the demographic change of the United StatesOne is the decline of the white majority nation caused by immigration, and the other is the decline of the middle class caused by industrial transfer.
Percentage of U.S. population: Hispanics, represented by Hispanics, began to rise illegally and at an accelerated rate.
The change in the proportion of the middle class in the United States, orange and yellow for the middle class, judging from the degree of intensification of social contradictions in the United States, this statistical data must be beautified.
This has also brought about two major contradictions in American societyOne is racial contradictions, and the other is the difference between the rich and the poor, or class contradictions.
In particular, racial contradictions involve many complex factors such as racial discrimination, religious conflicts, cultural conflicts, language conflicts, community fragmentation, and illegal immigration. Under the current political system of the United States, it is a completely unsolvable problem.
The basic base of the Democratic Party is mainly the white elite represented by the white left (a small number but with great influence), the minority groups mainly blacks, and the marginalized groups and minorities such as LGBT, addicts, and zero-dollar shopping enthusiasts.
The Republican Party's base is dominated by conservative low-income whites, including workers, peasants, and a white middle class whose incomes have plummeted.
It can be seen that the basic market of the Republican Party is basically conservative white, while the basic base of the Democratic Party is pluralistic structure.
Although so far, the Republican Party has been able to draw with the Democrats for the most part.
But with the influx of immigrants, and as the percentage of the white population continues to decline, it is certain that the Republican Party will go downhill in the bipartisan competition.
The racial percentage of the U.S. population will fall below 50% by 2045
Since it's competition, there will always be times when you lose the wind, which is not unusual.
The most aggrieved thing about the Republican Party is that the Democratic Party has always flaunted the banner of democracy, freedom, human rights and other political correctness, wantonly manipulated political issues such as immigration, LGBT, BLM, drug legalization, and non-criminalization of misdemeanors, and won over ethnic minorities and marginalized groups in society without a bottom line, even at the expense of damaging the foundation of the United States, but the Republican Party has not been able to fight back head-on.
The big hat of political correctness, no matter how conservative the Republicans are, can not afford to wear it, except for the ignorant and fearless who understand the king!
It is precisely because the Republican establishment elite is helpless against the Democratic Party's step-by-step pressure and has no power to fight back that they have the opportunity to understand Wang's sudden rise.
It's just that after Wang came to power in 2016, the Republican Party has lived a more aggrieved life.
As soon as the king comes out, all the horses are together.
It turns out that even if the Democratic Party can't be elected, everyone is an establishment faction, and there is a routine and tacit understanding of sharing the spoils, which is nothing more than more sharing on the stage and less sharing off the stage.
But as soon as the king came up, it was like an elephant running into a porcelain shop.
Although the king may not have the intention of sabotage, the establishment is worried!
This very unremarkable Trump runs the train every day, and he can't talk with his brains, maybe one day, he will smash the pot of the ** elite in Washington.
The pot is gone, the Democrats have nothing to eat, and the Republicans have nothing to eat!
So in 2020, the Democratic establishment will be in the front, and the Republican establishment will cooperate in the back, and they will join forces to get the king down.
Liz Cheney and other Republican bigwigs, in order to seek greater political interests, even did not hesitate to jump to the front of the stage and openly support the Democratic Party.
Unexpectedly, although the king was made gray and failed to be re-elected, after the test of the war that stormed the Capitol Hill, the king of understanding formed a deep fighting friendship with the white right and the red neckFrom then on, heart to heart, hand in hand, never separated.
Understand the king to meet supporters, this meeting, déjà vu.
Since then, the basic plate of the Republican Party has become the basic plate of understanding the king, and it is difficult for anyone to do it except understand the king!
So after moving out of the White House, King Xiang, who held 70 million iron tickets, enjoyed life while playing golf and became the emperor of the Republican Party.
Being a emperor who only has power and no obligations is much cooler than being a **.
For example, in the party primary of the 2022 midterm elections, Liz Cheney, the only member of the state's House of Representatives, long-time chairman of the Republican House and the No. 3 person in the Republican House of Representatives, was defeated by a disparity of 29% to 66% by a disparity of 29% to 66% to a little-known political amateur who was supported by Wang.
Cheney's father and daughter, Cheney Sr. is Bush Jr.'s deputy, known as the most powerful deputy in history, and this bet, the Cheney family's ** have lost.
For example, in the 2022 midterm elections, although due to the poor performance of the Republican Party, the traditional ** controlled by the Democratic Party was promoted as a defeat to understand the king. But this just shows from the side that under the huge influence of Wang Zhi, the duel between the two parties has become Wang Wang's single-handedness to the Democratic Party.
Another example is the speaker election at the beginning of 2023, under the confrontation of Trump's little fan brother Matt Gates and little fan sister Lauren Burbett and others, McCarthy, who should have been elected nine times out of ten, actually ran for 4 consecutive days before barely passing the test with Trump's off-site efforts.
At that time, the captain said that this was a beating of McCarthy by the king of understanding, and deliberately did not let him pass easily.
Gates & Burbett: Trump's Golden Boy.
McCarthy, who was voted for doubtful life.
After that, McCarthy confessed to the king and obeyed the king's edict on most issues.
But McCarthy, as a traditional establishment, cannot completely become a mouthpiece that understands the king. In October 2023, McCarthy's compromise with the Democrats on issues such as the Temporary Appropriations Act triggered a break in the Freedom Coalition caucus for far-right members of the Republican House of Representatives.
Of course, the first hand behind this matter is still the king who understands.
Because 2024 is about to start, the king must not only establish authority, but also support more obedient people to take the position.
At the critical moment, the Democratic Party sent another divine assist and put McCarthy together, causing him to become the first speaker to be removed in American history.
As summarized in "Why McCarthy Became the First Speaker of the United States to Be Deposed: When the Nation Is Dying, There Will Be Disaster".With the knife of the Liberty Connection and the Democratic Party, killing McCarthy, the chicken at both ends of the first rat, can understand the king to integrate the Republican Party more efficiently and deal with 2024** with all its might.
After this abdication, he still directs the country and exalts the style of writing, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, probably only our Qianlong Emperor can compare.
Understand the king's demeanor and reveal it all.
This look is comparable to that of an understanding king.
Things in the world are like this, some people are happy, and some people are bound to be unhappy. Because your coolness is often based on the grievances of others.
understands Wang Shuang, and the Republican Party will naturally be aggrieved.
Since it is aggrieved, no matter how aggrieved it is, it can only be held back.
Therefore, although the Democratic Party has been trying to bring down the understanding Wang, such as the FBI raiding Mar-a-Lago, the Yin King personally attacking the "MAGA Republicans", the release of a congressional investigation report in an attempt to suspend the election of the understanding Wang, the investigation of the understanding Wang's payment of hush money to porn stars, and the framing of the understanding Wang** and other obscene tricks have emerged one after another, but no one in the Republican establishment has dared to publicly echo the Democratic Party except for keeping silent, or helping Trump say almost good things as if the situation was appropriate.
Compared with the former Speaker Pelosi, McCarthy is really aggrieved in front of the king.
Compared with McCarthy, who rides on the wall, the new Speaker Johnson is a little fan brother who understands the king, so there is no need to be aggrieved.
In fact, the more ruthlessly the Democratic Party suppresses and smears the king, the more stable the basic plate of the king.
In front of tens of millions of die-hard supporters who only recognize Trump and do not recognize the Republican Party, the Republican Party is like the newly appointed Emperor Jiaqing, who cannot get rid of the control of the Emperor Taishang at all.
As the Yin King said, the Republican Party has become a MAGA Party!
In this process, the Republican establishment faction did not resist. But the popular new stars they brought out, whether it is DeSantis or Haley, are not the opponents of the king at all.
Just like the captain before**, unless there is a personal accident, I understand that Wang Tieding will represent the Republican Party in 2024**.
And in order to try to keep his mess in Ukraine, the Yin King must also run for re-election.
The long-awaited 2024 summit showdown is being staged in the United States.
Before you know it, the two of them are almost 160 years old.
As in 2020, this trick seems to be a fight between two old men, the King of Understanding and the King of Sleep, but it is actually an impact on the political forces of the establishment represented by the anti-establishment represented by Trump.
Or, by the definition of the Yin King, it is the attack of the MAGA Republican Party, which seeks to undermine the "rules-based domestic order" of the United States, against the Democratic Party, which is trying to maintain the American order.
From this point of view, the king is the same as China, the challenger, destroyer, and subversive of the US imperialist order!
No wonder King Understand, also known as Sichuan Jianguo, turned out to be a close comrade-in-arms who broke into the interior of the American imperialists!
Preview of the next part:
Regardless of whether Wang is our comrade or not, it is an indisputable fact that the Republican Party has transformed into a Trump Party.
So, how did the once-glorious Republican Party get into trouble step by step to become Trump's private party?
Is this a moral degradation or a distortion of human nature?
