Quote of the Day
Being out of actual new ideas, they’ve spent the last quarter century or so simply reflexively opposing anything a Republican President does. Bush and the Gulf War set them on the path of taking the side of the Muslim world.
And once they got on that tiger they had no choice but to keep riding it. Hope you are sitting down, but I’ll say that even Joe Biden must have been repulsed by the atrocities of October 7th. But by then he needed the Electoral Votes of Michigan more than he needed to have a soul.
Lost ’em both anyway.

The New Old Fashioned Hate – Chicago Boyz
I think I have posted something similar to this claim before. Democrats in this country reflexively opposes anything the Republicans say or do. This makes them vulnerable to manipulation and the current administration has been utilizing the vulnerability. It is not quite this simple but it illustrates the point, if President Trump says the sky is blue the Democrats feel morally obligated to claim it something other than blue.
This has led to President Trump claiming reasonable positions in the middle ground, such as trans women should not be competing with biological women in sports. And the Democrats lose several percentage points in the polls because they are compelled to oppose this position.
And what was the point of the “No Kings” protest? Did they think President Trump would change his behavior because of street protests? He got 312 electoral and 77,303,568 popular votes last year. Those are all that are important to him. The Democrats express all the emotional energy they can muster, and he just trolls them to urges them to even greater heights. Democrats believe they have accomplished something profound. Trump and his supporters get stomach aches from laughing so hard.
They are saying aliens in the country illegally are not criminals. They are shutting down the government to give free and/or subsidized healthcare to illegal aliens. Are they aware of the U.S. debt is approaching $38,000,000,000,000? Can’t they cut aid to criminals to help reduce that debt? More and more people are coming to believe they are deliberately trying to destroy this country.
I wish they would engage in a constructive debate. If they really tried, they probably could contribute some decent ideas and/or tweaks to the administration agenda that would be good for the country. But they cannot allow themselves to “collaborate with the enemy.”
It is no wonder they are polling at the lowest approval rating in decades. They have earned and continue to demonstrate their worthlessness nearly every day.
Sometimes I think they do not rise to the level of useful idiots. Perhaps, even, they cannot rise to that level. They are stuck at the level of useless idiots.
I think part of the problem is that Democratic Party’s very loud extremist base won’t let them shift these positions.
Everything Trans has to be embraced and championed, or the a large chunk of their base might abandon them.
Guns has to be the problem, otherwise they would need to admit that certain communities have a large cultural problem. This would alienate a large chunk of their base.
All refugees must be good, or a large chunk of their base will be alienated.
The USA must be bad, or they would alienate some of their biggest donors.
The truth is that they could gain more voters by moderating several of their positions while staying strong on the environment and civil rights. But, a huge chunk of their base would be alienated.
“And what was the point of the “No Kings” protest? Did they think President Trump would change his behavior because of street protests?”
No, the audience was other liberals, not conservatives. It’s an attempt to rally others to a cause, and is a precursor to more effective action, e.g. a national strike, which is what people like Bernie Sanders are calling for.
And in general I agree with your point, Dems have TDS pretty bad (sortof like MTHead has JDS syndrome so every time I post the word “commie” appears in his reply). Trump has done so many outrageous things that to support anything that comes from that direction now makes you obviously a traitor to the liberal cause. You can say “even a stopped clock is right twice a day” and still get told “no, it’s wrong. it’s always wrong,” which is ultimately going to render them entirely inert. The paralysis of the democratic leadership is just a reflection of the larger rot throughout the party.
Which is unfortunate. I rather liked the idea of two (or more) opposed parties managing a balance of power. Losing that is unlikely to go well for us.
Compromise became a dirty word a while back, and “Bipartisan” is seen as treating with the enemy. It explains a lot of vindictive legislation.
As for the “No Kings” events, they provide an opportunity to scream “Orange man bad!!” and post on social media that you are “on the right side of History” TM . Signaling to other Leftoids is more important than convincing others.
I would posit that both sides have been bought and paid for. And they are doing exactly what they’re paid to do.
Notice how neither side can quite get it all done?
But the struggle keeps bored humans busy while the real masters call the shots.
And it appears to be two sides working for/against the middle class. While the slow march is always toward the same conclusion. Totalitarianism, and destruction of the natural human order. Then humanity itself.
Such has always been the ways of satan. And those who buy into this world’s riches.
And those that ignore the real battle between God and fallen angels.

Beware the day I quit commenting about your communist bent. It means I will have given up hope for you….. Johnny.
