Democratic-Republican Party

Originally (1792–98) Republican Party, first opposition political party in the United States. Organized in 1792 as the Republican Party, its members held power nationally between 1801 and 1825. It was the direct antecedent of the present Democratic Party.

Ironically, as a Founding Father, Thomas Jefferson was vehemently against political parties. He felt they would quickly gain control and take the power away from We The People.

When Alexander Hamilton and others rallied around a strong centralized government and central bank, which many founders were also vehemently against, Jefferson decided to create an opposition party to ensure States rights. Rather than stand his ground on being against political parties he realized he had to counter balance the Federalists.

Ironically, "Federalists" believed in strong centralized power in the capitol, but "Federalism" is the idea that states should be a powerful counter balance to the federal government.

The compromise that was established between the two trains of thought was to declare in the US Constitution that only powers expressly granted to the federal government in the US Constitution would be federal powers. Everything else, all other powers not expressly granted to the federal government in the Constitution, were reserved for the states to control.

We are seeing this play out in real time as we see the differences in how different states have handled the pandemic, CRT, and many other modern issues. Florida is doing it one way and California and New York the opposite way, as an example.

One common theme that has existed since Jefferson first created an opposition party, and for most of our history, is that power tends to coalesce into two major factions in the United States.

Jefferson's original party name was Republican Party. The Federalists branded it the Democratic-Republican Party, and eventually it became the Democrat Party. It's interesting to see the evolution of it all.

I mentioned above that there is a tendency for power to coalesce into two separate, divergent parties, but I believe, roughly from the period of time that former CIA director and Vice President, George H.W. Bush became President, that the two parties more or less became one. One uni-party.

The Big Show is that the Big Club acts as though they hate each other, to create the political theater for voters to still think their votes matter and that we must choose sides, but in reality they are all working together to ensure their power and wealth is unmatched, unquestioned, and undefeated as they tighten their grip of control over the American people and suck the life out of our country.
