Instead of ending Donald Trump's re-election campaign, would-be assassin Thomas Mathew Crooks put a crown on the former president's head. 

Instead of eliminating what Democrats have blasted as a Fascist "threat to democracy" from a "convicted felon," the bullets Crooks fired give Trump a real reason to turn the screws when he beats Pres. Joe Biden to become the 47th president in Nov.

Make no mistake. There's no way Pres. Joe Biden can beat Trump now. 

The images of Trump defiantly pumping his fist in the air seconds after escaping death by the slimmest of margins—a bullet that sliced his ear open instead of blowing his brains out—are pure election gold. Compare that with a half-dead, stammering Biden who can't finish sentences.  Its so powerful precisely because its instinctive instead of intellectual.

The problem—fatal to Biden's candidacy—is clear.

Moments like these tend to feel surreal, like they're not "real" or not "really happening." But Crooks' attempted assassination of Trump is real, and so will be the fall out. Instead of elevating Biden to a second term, Crooks' bullets ricocheted and sealed the destruction of the Democratic party as we know it. 

Now catch your breath, sit down and orient yourself. What comes next?

In my view, the destruction of the Democratic party as we know it is a good thing. It deserves to die. The party's support of elite interests at the cost of working-class ones makes it virtually indistinguishable from Republicans. Arguably, neither party serves American interests anymore. They both serve cash money. The more campaign donations you make the more you get.

For example, Democrats pimp themselves out to the same corporations Trump does. Both support and fund militarized police, the largest prison system in the world, subordination of individual constitutional rights to alleged public interests (one extremely selective exception: abortion) and both work to control and weaken the press.

In the 1990s, Democrats supported NAFTA and other international trade treaties that made it possible and profitable for corporations to move their factories overseas to earn more money—depriving Americans of good-paying, union jobs at home. Democrats sewed the seeds of their destruction.

30 years later, its no surprise the children of the Rust Belt revolted—against Democrats for the party's betrayal—and made Trump president.

That's independent of all the so-called "migrants"—or whatever the Left approves of calling them today—Democrats allow to stroll across the border. Migrants undermine unions, keep labor costs low and corporate profits high while raising rents in cities where there's already affordable housing crises.

Its time to face a hard truth: Trump was right on immigration. It needs to be paused, at least.

Without factories for newcomers to work in (the factories Democrats got rid of), it doesn't make sense to allow just anybody to come to America. Do we really need millions of migrants to deliver food because we’re too lazy to get up and go to the store?  We also need to preserve what open space we have left, in part to prepare for climate change caused by global warming.

In the coming years, millions of climate refugees fleeing unbearable heat and water shortages will flood across America’s borders—unless we stop them.

The elite's complete capture of the Democratic party is demonstrated in its foreign policy, which is virtually indistinguishable from the Republican's. Nothing makes this more clear than Pres. Biden's bankrolling bombs to Israel while it commits "plausible" genocide against the Palestinian people.  Trump and Pres. Barack Obama both ordered “politcal” assassinations. America drops bombs in support of its empire whoever is president.

That’s why all the statements flooding the airwaves from Democrats condemning "political violence" ring hollow. They perfected "political violence." They practice it everyday.

Still there's hope because every crisis really is an opportunity. You adapt because you have to. The alternative is death, or obsolescence. 

Destruction means working-class Democrats will have a chance to take back control of their party from corporations as well as other self-interested factions and rebuild. Purging the party will not be easy. Nor is it something you do once and are done with. Winning control is different from keeping it. You have to do both.

Only the future knows what the re-born Democratic party will look like. Perhaps it won't be reborn at all. Perhaps it'll splinter into entirely new parties. Bottom line: if people really thought about it, working-class Democrats have more in common with working-class Republicans than they have differences. 

If only they'd started talking, instead of demonizing and shooting at each other.
