Thanks Mass Media. Political Victorianism And One Party System. Obama Fears Scott?

There is a debate over whether Hunter got a sweetheart deal but the same type of deal has also been given to Stacey Abrams and Rev. Al Sharpton. They both own large sums and yet, still walk the streets.  All under Democrats.

Literally billions are owed the government which will never be paid. Those who pay what the government claims, like you and me, are the stuckees.

Bret's  Baier's second interview allowed Trump to claim, once again, he is the perfect person who does everything right, never is wrong and was placed on earth by the lord himself. It is such a shame because  Trump's judgement, in most cases, has proven to be right  Nevertheless, he still turns off too many voters who, unlike me,  cannot/refuse to separate his personality from his accomplishments.  

To make matters even  worse, they seem to refuse to acknowledge the corruption Beggen and his entire family have committed. What about those double standards?  If you are a conservative and/or Republican you are guilty while Democrats and radical progressives  get free passes. Thank you mass media.

America once went through a sad  social period of Victorianism now we are going through a period of political Victorianism.

Furthermore how can we accuse China of having a one party system, when  America is already there?

Let's look at a brief summation:

Why Barack Obama Is Afraid of Tim Scott

The left doesn’t want voters exposed to black candidates with different political opinions.

By Jason L. Riley

The recent dust-up between Barack Obama and Republican presidential hopeful Tim Scott might seem strange at first glance. Mr. Scott is polling in the low single digits and is more likely to be nominated for the vice presidency than the presidency. Why pick on Mr. Scott

In a podcast discussion with David Axelrod, chief strategist of his 2008 and 2012 campaigns, Mr. Obama was critical of Mr. Scott and other minority GOP candidates for presenting their personal biographies as evidence of America’s racial progress. That is precisely what Mr. Obama did when he ran for president, a point that wasn’t lost on his interviewer. “I listened to Tim Scott,” said Mr. Axelrod, “and half of it sounds a lot like us. Half of it sounds a lot like what you were talking about in the speech in 2004 and in all of our speeches from that point on, which was: ‘I’m living proof that we are making progress as a country. I wouldn’t be here but for that progress.’ ”

Mr. Axelrod was referring to Mr. Obama’s 2004 keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in Boston, the one that made his political career. It’s the speech where he invoked his biracial ancestry as a metaphor for the country’s racial and political advancement and said that “there is not a liberal America and a conservative America” or “a black America and a white America” but only “a United States of America.” Yet when Mr. Axelrod compared those remarks to what Mr. Scott is saying today, Mr. Obama got defensive.

“Those lines are aspirational and always have been,” Mr. Obama said. “We’re closer to an approximation of the ideal than we were 100 years ago or 200 years ago,” but “they are always in tension and contradiction with what has been another version of America that is based on exploitation and violence and hierarchies and great wealth and power taking advantage of those who aren’t powerful.” He added: “We are always wrestling with the ideal—the world as we want it to be—and the world as it is.”

The former president tried to contrast his own use of biography with that of Mr. Scott and Nikki Haley, another Republican running for president, who frequently speaks about her experience growing up as an Indian-American in the Deep South. Mr. Obama accused both minority candidates of glossing over the effects of racism. “I’m not being cynical about Tim Scott individually,” he said. “I think there’s a long history of African-American or other minority candidates within the Republican Party who will validate America and say, ‘Everything’s great, and we can all make it.’ I mean, Nikki Haley, I think, has a similar approach.”

But Ms. Haley and Mr. Scott aren’t campaigning on “everything’s great,” and Mr. Obama knows that is a straw-man argument. Rather, they are using their personal histories to illustrate the opportunities for current and future generations that didn’t exist to the same extent for racial and ethnic minorities in bygone eras. Both candidates speak regularly about discrimination in America, past and current—“Racism is real. It is alive,” Mr. Scott has remarked—even if they don’t obsess over it or cite it as a major barrier to upward mobility.

“My hope and my theory is that America has been waiting for someone to show up who’s more interested in American progress and the big windshield of the car, and less interested in that rearview mirror,” Mr. Scott said during an appearance earlier this month on ABC’s “The View.” “Making sure that every single person, based on their character, their grit and their talent, can rise as high as humanly possible.”

Mr. Scott’s biography exemplifies tremendous strides in American race relations no less so than does Mr. Obama’s. The former president insists otherwise because that is what today’s Democratic Party demands. Racial identity politics often leads to a sort of competition among blacks over who represents the interests of the group. Mr. Obama is playing the role of soul patrol. He wants Mr. Scott canceled, or at least dismissed as someone who holds unrepresentative and inauthentic black views that shouldn’t be taken seriously.

Mr. Scott currently is in no danger of winning the GOP nomination for president, but so long as he’s running he will command a measure of attention in the media and remain a target of black liberals. The fear on the left is that millions of minority voters will be exposed to a different black opinion on everything from tax policy and immigration to education, policing and racial inequality. Democratic success at the polls is heavily reliant on blacks voting as a single bloc. The last thing Democrats want is someone who looks like Mr. Scott casting doubt on the efficacy of liberal policies and making the case for an alternative approach.
