The Democratic Party of today is a far cry from the party of John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy Sr. Imagine if JFK and RFK Sr. could see what their party has become. They would be appalled. These men, icons of American politics, stood for principles that are now all but forgotten by the modern Democratic leadership. The once-proud party that championed freedom, national security, and the middle class has morphed into a vehicle for leftist ideologies and Marxist principles.
A Party Unrecognizable to Its Founders
It’s impossible to overstate how much the Democratic Party has changed. JFK, the man who declared, “Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country,” would be horrified by a party that now encourages dependency on big government. RFK Sr., who fought for the rights of the individual, would be aghast at a party that seems more interested in controlling people’s lives than empowering them.
Today’s Democratic leaders have embraced policies that are as far left as they come. Kamala Harris, a figurehead of the modern Democratic Party, openly supports defunding the police, Medicare for All, and the Green New Deal—policies that would have been unthinkable in JFK’s time. These radical proposals are designed to expand government control over every aspect of our lives, from our health care to our energy sources.
The Kennedys Would Be Appalled
JFK and RFK Sr. were men of integrity who believed in the greatness of America. They would never have supported the idea of defunding the police, a policy that has led to chaos and violence in our cities. They would have been staunchly opposed to Medicare for All, a plan that would strip Americans of their private health insurance and force them into a one-size-fits-all government program. And they would have outright rejected the Green New Deal, a socialist wish list masquerading as environmental policy that threatens to bankrupt our nation.
But perhaps most galling of all is how the modern Democratic Party treats those who dare to think for themselves. RFK Jr. has experienced this firsthand. By stepping out of line and questioning the party’s radical shift, he has been ostracized by his own family and vilified by the party he once called home. JFK and RFK Sr. would be ashamed to see the party they helped build become a place where independent thought is punished and blind obedience is demanded.
A Party Hijacked by Marxism
Let’s not sugarcoat it—today’s Democratic Party has been hijacked by Marxism. This isn’t hyperbole; it’s a cold, hard fact. The party of JFK has turned its back on the American dream and embraced the failed ideologies of socialism. The Democrats’ current agenda is all about control: controlling your health care, controlling your energy consumption, and ultimately, controlling your life.
JFK and RFK Sr. believed in empowering the American people, not in expanding the reach of government into every corner of our lives. They stood for individual liberty, personal responsibility, and a strong national defense. They would be sickened to see the party they once led now advocating for open borders, crippling taxes, and endless government handouts.
The Hypocrisy of Today’s Democrats
The hypocrisy of today’s Democratic leaders is staggering. While they preach about democracy and freedom, they work behind the scenes to silence dissenting voices. We’ve seen this play out with RFK Jr., but he’s not the only one. Anyone who steps out of line or dares to challenge the party’s narrative is quickly crushed. This isn’t democracy; it’s tyranny.
And where are the leaders who are supposed to be representing the people? Kamala Harris, who is poised to take the reins if Biden is pushed out, can’t even articulate a coherent policy agenda. Her website is a joke—nothing more than a placeholder with no substance, no vision, and no answers for the American people. Compare that to Donald Trump, who, love him or hate him, has a clear, well-documented agenda. Trump speaks directly to the American people every day, while Harris hides behind empty platitudes and vague promises.
Final Thoughts
The Democratic Party has lost its way. JFK and RFK Sr. would not recognize the party they once led. They would be disgusted by the Marxist ideologies that have taken root and by the leadership that has abandoned the principles of freedom, security, and individual responsibility. The Kennedys stood for something great—today’s Democrats stand for something entirely different.
It’s time to wake up. The Democratic Party of today is not the party of JFK and RFK Sr. It’s a party that has betrayed its legacy and its country. And if we don’t stand up and fight for the America that the Kennedys believed in, we risk losing everything.
