Democrats have always been corrupt, supported anyone with the power to threaten and force compliance. It didn't matter if the force was monetary, social, violent or all of it, they only thing that mattered was crushing resistance. They still play the same games now. Speak out and they insult, mock, shun or threaten. When that doesn't work, they seek help to crush you. They are so convinced they are always right they will destroy themselves to prove it, they are more cult like than not and violent by nature because they deeply hate themselves and everyone around them.
