The End of Democrats...or the USA?

I have been watching what is happening with the Democrat party and I can't figure out where all of it is heading.

We are starting to get so-called mainstream Democrats calling for the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) to be abolished. In fact, Democrats in Congress have actually introduced a bill to abolish ICE.

How can this be serious?

Do Democrats really believe that we can abolish a law enforcement agency with 20,000 employees which is charged with enforcing immigration law and border security as well as customs enforcement?

Do we just allow every person in the world who wants to come to the United States the unfettered ability to do so?

Do we just allow every foreign producer of goods the unfettered ability to flood the United States with imported goods that we know absolutely nothing about and have no one to track the sources and uses of those goods?

We have high profile Democrats like Maxine Waters openly encouraging the harassment of members of the President's cabinet and other Republicans.

We have House Democrat Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi saying that Trump's jobs agenda is "reckless"in the wake of the report that a better than expected 213,000 jobs were added in June and 3.7 million since Trump was elected.

We have Senate Democrats acting as if the nomination of a respected federal judge to the Supreme Court is the end of the world as we know it.

For example, Hillary Clinton stated that she worried that the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh could return the United States to what it was in the 1850's.

"You know, I used to worry that they wanted to turn the clock back to the 1950s," she added. "Now I worry they want to turn it back to the 1850s. These will be urgent fights. The stakes could not be higher."

Kavanaugh is going to take us back to the days of Pre-Slavery? Really?

It is interesting to note that liberal Ruth Bader Ginsburg never hired an African American law clerk in her 13 years on the District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals and has only hired one African American clerk since she became a Supreme Court justice in 1993. Therefore, in 38 years on the bench she has hired just one African American.

Kavanaugh hired 5 African American clerks in his 15 years on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals in addition to 25 women, 6 Asian Americans and 2 Hispanic Americans out of 48 hires.

Diane Feinstein, who was rated the 15th most liberal Senator based on her voting record in 2017 by govtrack.us, is apparently not liberal enough for the California Democrat party. Yesterday it endorsed Kevin DeLeon over Feinstein for the November general election. Feinstein received only 7% of the vote of party leaders in California.

We also have the Democratic Socialist Party of America (the party of 28-year old Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who had a stunning Democrat primary defeat over establishment Democrat Rep. Joe Crowley in a New York City congressional district three weeks ago) claiming that it is the future of the Democrat party.

Does all of this really represent the future of the Democrat party?

If it is, I only see two options for where this leads.

1) The Democrat Party will cease to exist in their current form. It will become a fringe party appealing only to pockets of voters on the coasts and in big urban areas.

 or

2) The United States of America will cease to exist in its current form.

It is hard to see any other alternatives.

I hope I am wrong.

However, the Democrats seem to be embarking on a most dangerous path.

Are they on a road to destruction of their making?

Or does all of this lead to the destruction of the United States of America as we know it?
