Does the Democrat party have a future? The party does seem bent on self-destructing.
Let’s bring Victor Davis Hansen in, to start this discussion.
Certainly, they have been having their problems. Last I was looking at the polls.. which was probably a week ago …approval rating of the Democratic party Nationwide is a little over 31%. The way things have been going lately, it’s actually probably lower than that now. Every time I think they can’t go any lower in approval, they apparently take it as a challenge.
Meanwhile of course, Trump’s approval ratings are in the middle of ’70s, in particular when you break it down issue by issue.
When you consider that Giggles McKneepads only got 45% of the popular vote last November (always assuming no vote for of course) it becomes clearer that large swaths of Democrats who voted for Harris are beginning to realize that Trump at the helm wasn’t such a bad idea, after all.
That 31%? They are manifestly experiencing a great deal of butthurt. The American people when given the choice, chose the guy that the left have been spending the last 8 years labeling as Hitler, deciding that he was the better deal than the hastily installed Harris and the Democrats. That’s got to hurt.
From the look of the Democrats in Congress at the State of the Union the other night, and the usual leftist outlets, they’re still trying to figure out if the reason they lost was because they weren’t screaming “sig heil”loud enough.
Keep in mind also that they lost despite the Harris campaign spending pretty much double what Donald Trump’s campaigns spent, leading me to observe immediately following the election last November that the era of big money influencing elections was pretty much over. In any event, with the department of government efficiency on the case, their money laundering has come to an end, anyway.
Let’s face it, the Democrats have two major problems right now.
They first are not dealing in issues that the American voter actually cares about. These issues do not include DEI, sending billions of tax dollars to people that hate us, allowing an unmitigated invasion, and allowing women’s sports to become a fallback for subpar male athletes, to name but a few bits of done since they’ve been trying to push down our throats.
Trump is doing as well as he is because he is actually responding to the will of the people. You know, the voters. Citizens.
People, watch on your gasoline stations and you’ll notice that the prices for fuel are already dropping. I can tell you personal experience that diesel prices are also dropping …which means prices for everything else like food and clothing etc is also going to come down. Remember, kids…diesel moves everything you have.
The other problem that the Democrats have is one that’s been building for a couple of decades now. It is an issue of credibility. If it’s possible for a credibility rating to be Sub-Zero, the Democrats have managed it.
Consider the number of things that they have lied openly about. The entire January 6th scenario. Russia, russia, Russia. If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor. Bill Clinton reneging on his promise to cut taxes before the echo from his taking the oath of office died.
Add to that the thinly veiled support of the Democrat party for scams like BLM, man-made climate change, the electric vehicle mandate,
To those, Let’s add the criminal misappropriation of funds from the tax coffers, the scope of which we’re just starting to scratch the surface on, while they scream bloody murder over it.
Even if, by some miracle, the Democrats start talking about issues but the American people are actually concerned with, with the credibility they have for at least the immediate future and probably longer, nobody’s going to believe them.
Rather they will take the recent history of the Democrat party into account and assume, probably correctly, that they are simply mouthing what the public wants to hear so they can get their power back.
And finally, we have the woke ultra left which has been driving the party off the cliff for the last several years. It’s not a good look for a party desperately trying to regain the attention and respect of the American people.
Think about it, now…If the Democratic party as a whole goes to the center as pulling data suggests so many rank and file Democrats would like to see, we’re going to see the party splintering at the very least, and a number of the party simply giving up on it all together and becoming Trumpist Republicans. And as I’ve already pointed out that’s already happening.
I noticed Bill Maher the other night, wondering openly if we will ever see another Democrat president. He seems to doubt it. I consider it to be an open question, but suggest that the two issues I’ve mentioned here are prohibitive.
Resolving a problem requires proper problem identification. The word on the wire being that the Democrats are considering running Rahm Emmanuel in four years tells me that they still haven’t gotten the handle on what their actual problems are. Trust me.. a fourth term for Barack Hussain Obama none of us need…. And the voters definitely understand that. Who are the other frontrunners? Steve Smith? Harris version 2.0? Bernie Sanders? Tampon Tim?
The problems that beset the Democrat party right now self-inflicted as they are, have been a long time building.
My read is that in the short term they’re not going to find any significant voter traction …being essentially leaderless and unwilling to address their problems properly leaves the question of any long term future in serious doubt.
