Friedman ties in his purpose once again at the end. He accentuates that the nation as a whole cannot develop or reach its full potential until the two political parties work together; until they both place importance to the diversity of the nation. This allows him to demonstrate that without change occurring in the Republican party, change cannot occur in the nation. He shows that the Republicans need to change and the parties need to work together to make nation better. He places emphasis to show that we are well into the 21st century and yet we are still not treating everyone equally, showing the importance of what his point of view is. Then he ends with a sentence that is almost demoralizing to emphasize that we cannot become diverse until the Republican party changes.

He illustrates an image of a world where everyone is included. He forces the readers to imagine a world where politics was helping the people and not working against some of them. He shows how there would be changes within many of the topics and how the people would see an improved society: one that put the needs of the people at the highest.

This is almost a call to action. He shows that there are people that are willing to make a change and have ideas that will benefit society, but they are being suppressed. Their ideas are not given importance and they are not being evaluated. Friedman shows that the time to act is now and that we need to do something to prevent this from occurring. He shows that there are people that believe in changes and that they need to become more prominent.

Friedman highlights how the Republican party has been taking the easy way out. Instead of working to support the rights of the minority and get them more representation, the party is simply trying to deal with their grievances. He then asks a rhetorical question forcing the reader to really consider the impact of the Republican party. After giving various examples of what the Republican party has done and how they are really helping the nation, Friedman is able to emphasize their lack of change. He then brings up democracy, stating that if we want change, then we cannot allow them to have that easy path. Things that are worth doing and that are right for the people are hard, but in the end they are necessary.

Friedman asks a rhetorical question and then builds off of it. He gives more examples of what the Republican members were doing to infringe upon the rights of all the people. He once again shows the unfair practices of the Republican Party to emphasize his point of how democracy in the United States is no longer democracy.

To develop his point of view further, Friedman brings up how in the past, the Republican Party was supposed to become inclusive to all people regardless of race, sexual orientation, and nationality. However, instead of doing that, the Party went back to white supremacy and stopped being inclusive. Through this, he once again emphasizes how our democracy has been breached. He brings attention to how everyone is not being treated equally and that change needs to come.

Now he ties them all in together. But his main point is Trump's administration. He states that deer and the school board are local problems, but the Republican party is national, making it much more influential. By making this small distinction, Friedman brings attention to how Trump's actions affect our country as a whole. This allows him to establish how Trump's administration is negatively affecting the country. To support this, he references the mob that ransacked the Capitol, demonstrating just how harmful their actions were. He even goes on to compare it to cancer, accentuating that this is no small thing. By specifically comparing the political party to cancer, he is showing the readers that this is not just bad, but it is dangerous. By slowly introducing the party's incompetence by comparing it to deer, then showing how Trump could do anything, and then comparing the party to cancer, Freidman effectively demonstrates his point of view to the audience in a way that is hard to deny.

Friedman brings the humor here once again to establish that Trump is just like the deer. He could behave thoughtlessly and without any reason and no one would do anything. Friedman's point of view becomes clear here. He does not agree with how Trump has been given the power to do whatever and how the government was just supporting him no matter what.

Now Friedman ties in deer and the BOE to Trump and his followers. After already establishing the incompetence of both, by bringing up Trump and his followers, he makes the description apply to them too. He describes Trump and his followers as cultlike in an exaggerated way to highlight the flaws of the Republican Party. He makes the question arise in the readers, "Is this even democracy?" As a result, he is able to demonstrate the real reason behind his writing and show the readers that when one person has too much power and is unopposed, that person gains the power to do anything he wants.

Based off of the way that the author compares the San Francisco Board of Education to deer, it becomes evident that he does not regard the BOE highly. He depicts their actions akin to deer that know nothing, emphasizing his view that the board does not know what it is doing and that what it is doing is not significant. He depicts the BOE as incompetent because instead of working to change something that actually helps the students, they are merely changing the names because they were racist people. He includes this almost in a humorous way to mock the ineffectiveness of the BOE.

Once again, the author emphasizes his light-hearted tone. He begins by describing the deer first. Instead of making the article start off with its political nature, he brings in a humorous appeal to the readers. This style of writing slowly builds up to the main claim of the author by starting off with the least important content and working its way up.

This is a hyperbolic statement, but it shows that the author believes the comparison between the three is very important. This contributes to a more light-hearted tone, and creates persuasiveness in the writing as the author emphasizes the significance of these three on democracy.

The article starts off with a funny hook. It is comparing San Francisco's Board of Education, Trump's G.O.P, and deer. This makes the reader interested in the rest of the article, while also setting up the rest of the article. The reader knows that the article is going to compare the Board of Education, G.O.P., and deer.

Next, he offers a solution. He tells the reader what type of changes need to occur in order to change the nation for the better and bring more equality. He goes from stating all the negatives of the nation and the political party to what needs to be done. He emphasize how change needs to occur after persuading the audience that change does need to occur.

At first, Friedman introduces the ineffectiveness of the BOE in a humorous way by comparing it to deer. Then he puts the humor aside and goes into his main point. He emphasizes that the Board has the power to do whatever it wants because there is no one standing against it. It is dominated by Liberal Democrats and as a result, no important change is occurring. Here, he is able to emphasize his main point on the democracy of the United States.

Overall, Friedman seeks to emphasize how the Republican party has not been taking the proper actions for the nation. He likens Trump and his administration to deer who are incompetent. He then brings in examples of how the Republican party failed to prioritize the needs of the people. He also then states some actions that need to be taken for the nation to become more developed. In the end, he shows that unless the two parties work together for the same purpose, there will not be improvements in diversity. All in all, he seeks to emphasize that democracy should include everyone and that democracy only exists if everyone works together. Democracy means that everyone is connected and all the problems are brought to attention so that actions can be taken.
