The Democratic Party of today is a far cry from the party of John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy Sr. Imagine if JFK and RFK Sr. could see what their party has become. They would be appalled. These men, icons of American politics, stood for principles that are now all but forgotten by the modern Democratic leadership. The once-proud party that championed freedom, national security, and the middle class has morphed into a vehicle for leftist ideologies and Marxist principles.
A Party Unrecognizable to Its Founders
It’s impossible to overstate how much the Democratic Party has changed. JFK, the man who declared, “Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country,” would be horrified by a party that now encourages dependency on big government. RFK Sr., who fought for the rights of the individual, would be aghast at a party that seems more interested in controlling people’s lives than empowering them.
Today’s Democratic leaders have embraced policies that are as far left as they come. Kamala Harris, a figurehead of the modern Democratic Party, openly supports defunding the police, Medicare for All, and the Green New Deal—policies that would have been unthinkable in JFK’s time. These radical proposals are designed to expand government control over every aspect of our lives, from our health care to our energy sources.
The Kennedys Would Be Appalled
JFK and RFK Sr. were men of integrity who believed in the greatness of America. They would never have supported the idea of defunding the police, a policy that has led to chaos and violence in our cities. They would have been staunchly opposed to Medicare for All, a plan that would strip Americans of their private health insurance and force them into a one-size-fits-all government program. And they would have outright rejected the Green New Deal, a socialist wish list masquerading as environmental policy that threatens to bankrupt our nation.
But perhaps most galling of all is how the modern Democratic Party treats those who dare to think for themselves. RFK Jr. has experienced this firsthand. By stepping out of line and questioning the party’s radical shift, he has been ostracized by his own family and vilified by the party he once called home. JFK and RFK Sr. would be ashamed to see the party they helped build become a place where independent thought is punished and blind obedience is demanded.
A Party Hijacked by Marxism
Let’s not sugarcoat it—today’s Democratic Party has been hijacked by Marxism. This isn’t hyperbole; it’s a cold, hard fact. The party of JFK has turned its back on the American dream and embraced the failed ideologies of socialism. The Democrats’ current agenda is all about control: controlling your health care, controlling your energy consumption, and ultimately, controlling your life.
JFK and RFK Sr. believed in empowering the American people, not in expanding the reach of government into every corner of our lives. They stood for individual liberty, personal responsibility, and a strong national defense. They would be sickened to see the party they once led now advocating for open borders, crippling taxes, and endless government handouts.
The Hypocrisy of Today’s Democrats
The hypocrisy of today’s Democratic leaders is staggering. While they preach about democracy and freedom, they work behind the scenes to silence dissenting voices. We’ve seen this play out with RFK Jr., but he’s not the only one. Anyone who steps out of line or dares to challenge the party’s narrative is quickly crushed. This isn’t democracy; it’s tyranny.
And where are the leaders who are supposed to be representing the people? Kamala Harris, who is poised to take the reins if Biden is pushed out, can’t even articulate a coherent policy agenda. Her website is a joke—nothing more than a placeholder with no substance, no vision, and no answers for the American people. Compare that to Donald Trump, who, love him or hate him, has a clear, well-documented agenda. Trump speaks directly to the American people every day, while Harris hides behind empty platitudes and vague promises.
Final Thoughts
The Democratic Party has lost its way. JFK and RFK Sr. would not recognize the party they once led. They would be disgusted by the Marxist ideologies that have taken root and by the leadership that has abandoned the principles of freedom, security, and individual responsibility. The Kennedys stood for something great—today’s Democrats stand for something entirely different.
It’s time to wake up. The Democratic Party of today is not the party of JFK and RFK Sr. It’s a party that has betrayed its legacy and its country. And if we don’t stand up and fight for the America that the Kennedys believed in, we risk losing everything.

Jimmy
It is likely that he would not be able to recognise today’s democrat party. It has morphed into something quite different than it was in 1960.
THey would Vote for Trump??
“THey would Vote for Trump??”
When considering the alternatives, how could they not?
There is no real Democrat party in America today.JFK and RFK SR would agree with RFK today
THEY WOULD BE HORRIFIED The democratic party of today is what they fought against
The word democrat should not be in todays DNC. JFK and RFK would not be a member of todays DNC.
Would JFK and RFK Sr. have left the Democratic party or did the party leave them is a good question.
AND TODAY’S REPUBLICANS HAVE BECOME YESTERDAY’S DEMOCRATIC PARTY!
“…In politics, everything revolves around the positioning of right, left, and center. You’re either rightwing, leftwing, or a centrist. Politicians and non-politicians alike employ all three terms as if there’s a consensus on the parameters for those designations. Even if this were true, who gets to determine what’s right, left, and center, and how are those determinations made? Over time, the parameters shift (always further to the left), so how is someone on the right to know he’s now a centrist or a centrist to know he’s now on the left?…
“There are no answers to these questions because there is no standard for these terms. The terms are completely arbitrary, defined at any given time by finite man and his fickle ethics rather than by Yahweh [God of the Bible] and His immutable morals. Although the following example doesn’t specifically address right and left, it illustrates the disparity between man’s ever-changing standard and Yahweh’s never-changing standard:
‘Two people could have walked down any U.S. street in 1930 – one with a bottle of whiskey under his arm and one with a bar of gold in his pocket, and the one with the whiskey would have been a criminal whereas the one with the bar of gold would have been considered a good law abiding citizen. If the same thing happened in any U.S. city in 1970, the one with the whiskey would be the law abiding citizen and the one with the gold bar would be the criminal.’2
“In a mere forty-year period, man’s standard had completely reversed itself. The same transposition of ethics has occurred innumerable times under all governments based upon the traditions of man.
“Isaiah 33:22 and James 4:12 declare that Yahweh is the exclusive legislator. There are no others, period! Anyone who claims the title of legislator (particularly when his “laws”—whether commandments, statutes, or judgments—are inconsonant with Yahweh’s) is a usurper and is perpetuating the sin begun by Adam and Eve. The same is true for any one of us who would modify Yahweh’s triune law….
“Yahweh is the only lawgiver because as Creator He’s the only one with the authority to determine what is good and evil. His morals as codified in His commandments, statutes, and judgments determine what is right and left. Anything left of His right(eousness) is left, liberal, and ungodly….”

JFK & RFK are turning over in their graves at what the Demonic oooops! I mean Democratic party has become. That’s why they were murdered by the Zionist globalists bent on a NWO.
They wouldn’t recognize it and be disappointed that communism has won.
They would both think it is a communist owned Democrat party. The communists they fought to protect America from have seized control of todays democrat party.
If the leadership of the democrat party were honest they would change the name of the party the “The People’s Marxist Party”. But of course they are not honest. Besides, They might lose the vote of all those people who blindly vote for anyone with a “D” next to their name.
