When they had power in 1830 the Democratic Party passed the Indian removal act.

When they lost power in 1860 the Democratic Party refused the election and decided to change the rules to keep their power by rebelling to preserve slavery.

From 1864–1960’s the Democratic Party erected the domestic terrorist group known as the KKK to terrorize black Americans.

From 1864–1960’s the Democratic Party enacted laws and systems to suppress the rights of black Americans.

In the 1920’s-1930’s the Democratic Party “believed the science” of eugenics to “exterminate” minority and lower-class citizens.

1930’s the Democratic Party threatened to pack the courts if they didn’t get their way in government expansion.

1942–1946 the Democratic Party stripped Japanese Americans of their rights and put them in internment camps during the war.

1964 the Democratic Party attempted to filibuster the passage the civil rights act.

1990’s the Democratic Party president Bill Clinton abused his governmental position of power (don’t need to expound on that one).

2008–2016 The Democratic Party decided that the government can force citizens to buy a service (healthcare), bypassed the legislative branch of government to enact “laws”, and used politically neutral agencies to spy on political opponents.

2020–2024 The Democratic Party said no to “my body my choice” and enforced vaccination on millions without their consent. They used the legal system to persecute their political opponent. They promoted disinformation by censoring true stories run by the New York Post. They promoted misinformation by hiding the mental decline of the current president.

But other than their entire history, the Democratic Party has never abused government power and has everyone’s best interest in mind as they tell us what is best for us.
