Jacksonian democracy

It says that America historically sees big swings from one party to the other.

So we go through the history of the United States and you'll see big chunks of time when it's like the Jeffersonians and then the Jacksonians and then the Republicans dominate for a while.

So this is my question.

Are we seeing the beginning of a new alignment in America? Are Republicans now on the decline and Democrats are ascending? Is that what's happening right now?

Although I hadn't considered that as a split from Andrew Jackson because I love Andrew Jackson.

I normally talk about Trump as the Jacksonian coalition type character who is using executive power to get rid of unconstitutional bureaucracy.

Jackson stopped the bank.

And by using executive power to get rid of unconstitutional bureaucracy, he was called the king by the Whigs, you know, and and then, you Davy Crockett latched onto that narrative because Davy Crockett was mad at Andrew Jackson about the Trail of Tears.

Wow, history really repeats, right? You get this Palestine-Gaza thing.

And he went against Jackson, even though the majority of the people in the Jacksonian coalition were in favor of the Indian Removal Act.

um and so like just like most people who like israel are on the republican side who you need right so what but davy crockett was so mad about the trail of tears he split with jackson over it worked with the wigs advanced these narratives uh that he's a king just like kind of massey has ended up reinforcing uh the no kings protest narratives about trump in terms of being a corrupt tyrant uh these these like kind of repeated claims of corruption even though what epstein wanted was a globalist standardized system and he worked with all those people so you if you want to know if epstein's losing you see how much progress is made against that system anyways davy crockett split off he lost his election he went to texas the reason that they fought the alamo without federal troops is so that they can make texas the republic they wanted to secure it themselves because he wanted to start his own country he was so mad at jackson um So it's like, yeah, it's fine.

There's also some parallels to FDR because you're thinking, OK, like what actual leftists would be mad at FDR? Clearly, he set up the 60s.

But they were pretty mean, they say he trashed the White House, I'm not sure he did, but he dueled, he married a woman of ill repute.

So he was very controversial, and he treated the Native Americans pretty harshly, but when it was all said and done, People use that term Jacksonian.

Even a man, probably of the center left, whom I deeply respect, Walter Russell Mead, he uses that term Jacksonian.

So I think that's what he'll be.

He'll be a person who wanted to make the United States second to none.

GOP lawmakers are already unhappy with the President's appeasement of Mr. Putin, especially given that Mr. Trump has so far failed to rebuild the U.S. military.

Since the Vietnam War, the GOP coalition has included defense hawks and Jacksonians who favor U.S. leadership, even if they dislike military adventures.

Handing over Europe to Russia and the Pacific to China would open a major party division.

Mr. Trump may be two weeks from being a lame duck, and maybe some GOP senators will finally find the courage to speak up.

Well, they didn't have the votes.

The Jacksonians had accepted.

Jackson's argument on the tariff was, well, we should have a revenue tariff.

That's proper, just as Jefferson suggested.
