Democrats Are Lost

By Steve Hunley

The Democratic Party has a growing image problem and doesn’t seem to realize it.  Working class voters have by and large left to back Donald Trump.  The Democratic party, once the bastion of the working class, is now largely populated by over-educated elitists who resort to the courts to try and make law, believe in censorship of free speech (any but their own) and while they talk about “billionaires,” the moneyed class are now, in truth, Democrats.  Kamala Harris decisively outspent Trump, who also had to wage a campaign through the primaries, something she didn’t have to do after Democrats tossed Joe Biden overboard.  Harris broke fundraising records, in fact.  From October 25, 2024, through November 25, 2024, Harris raised $160 million and spent $277 million, while Trump raised $87 million and spent $113 million.  Harris and her allies spent $1.4 billion on campaign ads.

Tim Waltz famously called Republicans “weird,” when nothing is weirder than their insistence on following their religion of DEI and woke policy, all of which is absent reason, logic and science.  The worldview of excessively trying to fit people into categories by demographics and ranking them according to some sort of marginalization chart of some self-appointed DEI expert is mighty weird.  The notion that someone is deprived or suffering in another country means that they should be able to walk across our country’s borders and be supported by working people here and housed and fed in hotels is neither reasonable nor rational.  The idea of abolishing the police is just plain stupid and it’s past time they admitted it.  The Democrats and their obsession with gender ideology and identity politics is the very definition of weird.

It was surpassing strange and pretty durn weird that the Democrats in Congress, people who claim to be compassionate, can’t get off their heinies to applaud or cheer a 13-year-old boy who has endured a lot of pain and suffering from brain cancer and his dreams of becoming a police officer.  It’s as weird as it is ugly.  What people saw was no human emotion coming out of them, except hatred for Donald Trump and anything he says or does.

They did the same for a young man whose deceased father, who had served our country in the armed forces and as a police officer, had dreamed of attending West Point.  President Trump announced he was going to West Point.  From the congressional Democrats?  Nothing but crickets.  Yet every other viewer with a functioning brain and heart felt a lump in their throat as they watched that boy high-five the young man.  It’s obvious what’s missing: human love.  Irrespective of their political differences, Republicans and Democrats loved our country.  Despite their differences over policies, they loved the American people.

The congressional Democrats radiated something far different from love.  There was not an iota of love for people above politics, for the average people who make up our country and everybody saw it.

The fact that Democrats in the Senate blocked the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, which would prohibit biological males from playing in women’s sports, is outrageous.  Democrats retreated to a stance of states’ rights; it was up to the states and localities to decide, which is a stand most Democrats have not taken since Lyndon Johnson was in the White House.  Democrats have become known for loving mandates and federal regulation better than pigs love slop.  Now, biological males are “women,” and women are “birthing persons.”  Who exactly is waging the war on women?  Pretty easy to follow that trail without breadcrumbs.

Instead, the Democrat women in Congress have put out a digital ad showing them bouncing up and down, squatting and assuming their “fighting” stances. There was Alexandria Ocasio Cortez standing in what looked like Hugh Hefner’s bedroom or a dive bar, showing her fighting spirit.

It’s hard to tell who is actually the less brainy between AOC and Jasmine Crockett of Texas.  Crockett, no bar maid she, actually graduated from law school and recently stated it was not a criminal act for a foreign national to cross our border illegally.  It is right there in the criminal statutes for everyone to see and is indeed a criminal act, which causes me to wonder if Crockett got her law degree from Edna’s Cooking School of Law.  Jasmine was one of the women highlighted in the “fighters” ad of Democrat women and viewers learned she “is not a morning person.”  Nor evidently a legal scholar.  Congresswoman Lauren Underwood revealed she hated balloons, but apparently not clowns, considering the ad.
