Democrat Party is the grammatically correct term for the Democratic Party. The Party is not "democratic", and proper nouns like "Democrat" are not converted into adjectives by adding "ic" as a suffix. It is not the "Republicanic Party," or the "Libertarianic Party", or a "Smith-ic Wedding." Predictably, many Democrats dislike the term "Democrat Party," perhaps because the official name is the "Democratic Party of the United States" since 1844[1] and perhaps they prefer the false illusion that their party is somehow more "democratic" than other parties.

They do have kind of a point though, albeit not about the name of the party -- why isn't the generic term for a member of the Democratic party a Democratic? If someone is psychic, they're a psychic. If they subscribe to Stoic philosophy, they're a Stoic.

https://www.conservapedia.com/Michel_Foucault
Regarded as a left-wing icon and a "gay" icon, Foucault can be best classified as a sociopath rather than a socialist, insofar as there is any consistency in his ideas. There is no other explanation for his eccentric insistence on the similarity between such disparate institutions as schools, hospitals, factories, prisons and barracks. It is notable that while he insisted on their resemblance, he himself chose to live in universities, not in a prison, factory or barracks.

E=MC2 is liberal claptrap. Conservatives know that the sun burns because god tells it to. In fact, that's how everything happens everywhere always.

Quantum mechanics is the branch of physics that describes fundamental subatomic behavior.[1]The basic principle of quantum mechanics is that there is an uncertainty in the location of a subatomic particle until it is observed. This explains why the Second Law of Thermodynamics is always true, and why everyone declines with old age. Quantum mechanics explains the discrete nature of small-scale interactions, wave-particle duality, the uncertainty principle, and quantum entanglement. Quantum mechanics forms the basis for our understanding of many phenomena, including chemical reactions and radioactive decay, and is used by all computers and electronic devices today. No other theory explains all this.The order created by God is on a foundation of uncertainty. The Book of Genesis explains that the world was an abyss of chaos at the moment of creation. Quantum mechanics is predicted in several additional respects by the Biblical scientific foreknowledge.Several parables in the Bible foreshadow the insight of quantum entanglement about paired photons having opposite spin, by contrasting two men in their relationship with God. The Prodigal Son contrasts two brothers, two churchgoers are contrasted in Luke 18:9–14, and two brothers are further contrasted in Luke 21:28-31.The term "quantum mechanics" comes from the idea that energy is transmitted in discrete quanta, and not continuous. Another historical name for "quantum mechanics" was "wave mechanics."

Conversion therapy, also known as reparative therapy or Sexual Orientation Change Efforts (SOCE), consists of counseling or treatment to change someone's sexual attraction from homosexuality to heterosexuality. The Bible can be a powerful basis for the therapy. Perhaps because of its effectiveness, homosexual activists have sought laws prohibiting conversion therapy in many states, and liberal California, Oregon, New Jersey, Illinois and the District of Columbia have banned this therapy for minors. But on February 24, 2015, an Oklahoma House committee passed a bill to protect the right to conversion therapy, and the therapy remains fully lawful in the vast majority of the United States. Liberal Dem Governor Andrew Cuomo has tried to ban it for minors by issuing an unusual executive order in New York.[1]The successful approaches can range from a change in someone's activities, such as sports, to an elimination of the animosity that someone might be harboring, such as anger towards his father. Conversion to Christianity and regular attendance at church can help; Paul referenced converts from homosexuality to Christianity in the New Testament. Aversion therapy, by which someone is averted from an unwanted activity or attraction by associating it with something mildly unpleasant, is an additional approach.Sports activities correlated with very low rates of homosexuality are baseball, football, basketball, boxing, martial arts and wrestling.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (born October 13, 1989[1]), often referred to by her initials AOC, is a progressive Democrat, Soros mercenary and outspoken advocate of the murderous ideology of Socialism. She is a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus noted for her use of Marxist clichés and statements about "token blacks."[2] She has been condemned by the United States Holocaust Museum for mocking the deaths of Nazi holocaust victims.[3][4]At 29 years old and the youngest female ever elected to Congress, and has built a national Twitter following using Godwin's Law. Ocasio-Cortez personifies the failures of the American publicly funded education system and is a serious embarrassment to any sensible person under the age of 30.[5]A Catholic, she has been praised by America, The Jesuit Review.[6] As of March 7, 2019, Ocasio-Cortez has 3.4 million Twitter followers. Ocasio-Cortez had four ethics complaints filed against her in the first six weeks after taking office. The Gallup Poll gives her a net 10 point negative favorability rating which may be impossible to ever overcome. With the 2020 Census, New York is likely to lose one seat due to the outflow of population from an inhospitable tax environment; Ocasio-Cortez is on the chopping block of the Democratically controlled legislature.[7]

Ocasio-Cortez is a cultural Marxist reared to believe the dialectical materialist view that capitalism is a transitory phase to socialism in which the planet will be ruled by an enlightened elite of anti-democratic technocrats, should it survive a climate crisis. She believes the Marxist notion that capitalism is an ideology, and not a simple paradigm of fundamental economic laws. A descendant of white Europeans during the Spanish Conquest (La Conquista) of the Western Hemisphere who imposed colonial rule and cultural hegemony over Native Americans and trafiicked in the African slave trade, Ocasio-Cortez now thinks she is an oppressed woman of color.

Who are you going to counter-quote, Wikipedia?
Wikipedia is an online wiki-based encyclopedia hosted and owned by the non-profit organization Wikimedia Foundation and financially supported by grants from left-leaning foundations plus an aggressive annual online fundraising drive.[1] Most of Wikipedia's articles can be edited publicly by both registered and anonymous editors,[2] mostly consisting of teenagers and the unemployed.[3] As such, it tends to project a liberal—and, in some cases, even socialist, Communist, and Nazi-sympathising—worldview, which is totally at odds with conservative reality and rationality.

Reality is variously defined as the totality of everything that exists, or as an aspect of a thing which exists independent of anyone's awareness or perception of that aspect. Reality is independent of the human mind, i.e. reality would continue to be the case whether or not anyone believed it, or indeed whether or not there were any human minds to believe it in the first place."That which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away." -- Philip K. Dick"You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality."[1] -- Ayn Rand
