Seven months after Trump [won the 2024 election,] Democrats have been backed deeper into a corner by the far-left activists they still fear, whose creed contains only 3 fundamental dogmata: Trump-hatred, perpetual self-victimhood, and identity politics … In the days that followed, I heard several high-level Democratic operatives who [all agreed that] we are done being bullied into unpopular, losing positions by the far-left …. We will get back to our roots: looking after the working class, the poor and the disenfranchised. Except they didn’t. Exactly the opposite.
Douglas Mackinnon, The Hill, 5/17/25
[W]ho is Zohran Mamdani? The debate is raging whether he is antisemitic or just pro-Palestinian; anti-ICE or just pro-immigrant? However, one thing seems to be increasingly clear. Mamdani is a serious Marxist and that should concern anyone in New York City. Recently, PolitiFact declared that it was “false” that Democratic New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani is a “communist.” This was in response to President Trump‘s calling him a “100% Communist Lunatic” on Truth Social. However, while we can quibble over whether the term “communist” is supported by past statements, it appears that Mamdani is likely a Marxist.

‘Oh My God!’ CNN’s Data Guru Stunned by Democrats’ 70-Point Shift on Israel: In 2017, the Democratic Party … sympathized with the Israelis by 13 points … [Now] Democrats sympathize more with the Palestinians by 43 points. … That’s a change of 56 points over … just 8 years. [A]ll of a sudden, … the pro-Palestinian position … reigns supreme in Democratic politics, not the Israeli position. [T]hat’s part of the reason why Mamdani [did] so well in this [Democrat Mayoral] primary, … [Democrats are] now on the side of the Palestinians, not the Israelis.

CNN Poll: Democratic Party’s favourability drops to a record low
CNN, 3/16/25
A new Gallup poll shows a sharp decline in national pride among Democrats, with just 36% describing themselves as “extremely” or “very” proud to be American — the lowest level recorded for the party in the past 25 years. … In contrast, Republicans have maintained consistently high levels of patriotism regardless of changes in political leadership.
Revolver News, 7/1/25
The era of big government is over. … Our goal must be to enable all our people to make the most of their own lives, with stronger families, more educational opportunity, economic security, safer streets [and] a cleaner environment …
After years of neglect, [my] administration has taken a strong stand to stiffen the protection of our borders, increasing border controls by 50 percent [and] increasing inspections to prevent the hiring of illegal immigrants. I will sign an executive order to deny federal contracts to businesses that hire illegal immigrants.
Our fourth great challenge is to take our streets back from crime and gangs and drugs. … The Crime Bill of 1994 is critical to the success of community policing. It provides funds for 100,000 new police in communities of all sizes. … Criminal gang members and drug dealers are destroying the lives of decent tenants. From now on, the rule for residents who commit crime and peddle drugs should be one strike and you’re out.
DEMOCRAT PRESIDENT WILLIAM JEFFERSON CLINTON, STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS, 1/23/96
[A]bout a decade ago [the Democrats] became captured by this … progressive, woke, [Marxist] oppressor vs oppressed ideology. All you have to do to be welcomed into the progressive fold is claim you have … been oppressed by the Western Establishment … regardless of how vile your philosophy may be. … [T]he college protestors openly welcome these … front groups … even though the sponsor of these groups, Iran, and the practitioners, Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis, are the most oppressive fascist organizations and movements on Earth. They’re anti-woman, anti-religious and racial minorities, anti-sexual minorities. It’s the most oppressive, most fascist group but the progressives that claim to be fighting, quote, unquote, fascism, is welcoming racism and fascism into their group because it enlarges their tent.
Julien Epstein (Georgetown University, J.D.), Former Democrat Chief Counsel House Judiciary Committee, former staff Director of House Oversight Committee.
Julien Epstein is the kind of Democrat I grew up with. Not crazy Marxist Islamists and stuff like that. They [didn’t] want to destroy the country.

After having taken a thrashing in the 2024 election, losing the presidency to the hated Donald Trump, losing the Senate, losing the House and losing the popular vote because they had gone way too far left, one would have assumed that the remaining rational grownups in the Democrat Party would have engaged in some self-reflection, taken stock of the policies, and determined a rational course ahead. One would, however, be wrong. These are Democrats after all. Instead, working with what’s left of our “news media” (the Democrat Party Propaganda Collective or DPPC), Democrats have doubled down on the same absurd policies that have led them to their current distress. They are hoping that vilifying Trump as a heartless right-wing extremist fascist dictator wannabe will lead them back to the promised land of money, power and sanctimony. They do not, however, appear to have grasped that this did not work in the 2024 election, or, putting the point differently, they do not appear to have noticed that the voters are wise to their scripted hysteria.
The reason why is not difficult to find. For, in fact, Trump’s agenda is closer to Bill Clinton’s commonsense centrist agenda of the 1990’s, the one that Democrats and their DPPC groupies praised as brilliance incarnate back in the day. That is, it is not Trump that is the extremist. Rather, the Democrat Party, terrified its vicious far-left base will call them racists, sexists, homophobes, transphobes or whatever if they depart from the juvenile far-left slogans that they memorized in Socialism 101, Marxism 303 or some comic book.
One of the best examples of this is the current trans-craze that has literally unglued the Democrats. Since they are always looking for some fringe group to add to their coalition of professional victims, they have embraced the insane idea that one can just dispense with biological science that has been under development in a consensual enterprise for 2,400 years since at least Aristotle by claiming that a boy can just decide that he is a girl or vice versa. This does not mean that one should not be compassionate towards people who exhibit “gender dysphoria”. One should! However, Democrats, given their “perpetual self-victimhood, and identity politics”, saw a means to create a new group of political victims that they could exploit for new votes. At the root of the extremist leftist trans movement, not the rational compassionate response to suffering people, is a political agenda, a power play, not an attempt compassionately and scientifically to help suffering people. In fact, most children with gender dysphoria grown out of it after puberty. That is, however, a tad late if one has chopped off their genitalia and replaced them by a substandard version of the opposite set because Democrats want new voters. One might ask famous de-transitioner Chloe Cole about the joys of the “trans agenda.” Nothing symbolizes the plight and plot of the current Democrat Party more than this cynical and cruel exploitation of suffering people for their own political purposes.
