The Democrats realize that their ship is sinking and are behaving accordingly.
Wounded animals are considered the most dangerous. The Democrats are swirling around the drain and they realize it. Their future is looking bad on numerous fronts:
- Illegals who were in many cases allowed to vote are being thrown out of the country.
- Population movements are from California and New York to Florida and Texas, with Congressional representation changing accordingly.
- A new census without illegals would give the advantage to Republicans
- Redistricting in many states will add Republican seats
- Younger white male voters supported Donald Trump in the last election
- Tightened election laws—photo ID and no mail-in ballots—work against Democratic cheating
Donald Trump and Charlie Kirk have been two of the biggest bulldozers in the Republican push of Democrats over a cliff. The president invented the MAGA movement and is leading the US towards a future that terrifies Democrats. MAGA is a return of the US to its pre-Obama roots: family, patriotism, low crime, meritocracy, a strong military, US influence throughout the world. The Obama to Biden years led to a “fundamental transformation of America”--but certainly not in a good way by most reasonable metrics. Crime went way up. Over 10 million illegal alien entries with associated costs in the billions. Covid destroyed personal freedoms. Trans and DEI were heavily promoted at the expense of women and whites, primarily. A large majority of young Democrats like Hamas the rapists more than their Israeli victims. Russia saw the US as weak and invaded Ukraine. If Kamala Harris had won, the US as we all remember it would have been over.
Donald Trump, the undisputed leader of MAGA, was nearly murdered in Butler, Pa. Charlie Kirk, as the one bringing the younger generation into the MAGA orbit was a huge threat for the Democrats dwindling future opportunities. As the Democrats’ position on all topics is anti-Trump, they currently have nothing to offer the American people. Not lower taxes or safer streets or a closed border or better schools. The Democrats are losing demographics, have no winning program, and with Charlie Kirk, the reliable youth was moving right. He was as much of a threat to their future as was Donald Trump or JD Vance. At this stage, we cannot know how Democrats’ violent anti-MAGA rhetoric influenced the shooter. We do know that a lot of people on the left celebrated the murder of a 31 year old father of two whose signature activity was engaging in respectful debate and discussion.

The Democrats realize that their electoral future is fading before their eyes. Sure, there are states where they can win with or without a pulse. But those states could be in play if enough people, especially the youngins, start moving towards the Republicans. They definitely saw Kirk as a threat as he did something they would no longer recognize: search for the truth. They railed against him, they called him lots of terrible names, and after he was murdered, many praised his death. Charlie Kirk was killed by a person in a relationship with someone claiming to be “trans”, something that Kirk showed to be nonsense. When one cannot debate an idea, he’ll look for other ways to fight it—in this case with a bullet.
The Democrats chose this path to self-destruction. Barack Obama sold himself as the great healer, and there is no question that many voted for him as the election of the first black president seemed to presage a better period in America. Just the opposite was true, as Obama was one of the most divisive presidents ever and injected race into a country that had mostly overcome its racial problems. Obama promised a fundamental change to America, something that would only be relevant if America was so bad that it needed a complete overhaul. Most Americans now look back to the pre-Obama days where we got along, things were cheaper and America was respected and realize that the Obama-Biden years made pretty much everything worse than it once had been.
One of the problems facing the US is that the Democrats have put their own survival and success over that of the country. One can look back at the George Floyd riots as an example. Whereas in the past all levels of government would have worked to put down violent and deadly riots, this was not the case in the summer of 2020. Many local and state Democrats smelled a route to defeat Donald Trump in the upcoming election. They either openly supported rioting and looting or did not make its suppression a top priority. You had the unusual case of federal and local police not being on the same page: the former were present to stop violence, while the latter were on the scene to act as traffic cops. They had no orders from the political echelon to stop the nightly violence in say Portland, and let’s not forget Tim Walz’s wife praising the smell of the burning buildings during the Minneapolis melee. While in the past Democrats and Republicans differed on many things, public safety and responses to emergencies were areas of general agreement. Not anymore. Biden FEMA employees gladly skipped North Carolina homes that had Trump signs on the property. Democratic mayors and governors let anti-ICE riots consume LA and violence to continue in Chicago.
The Democrats for the past 20 years have seen the US as an irredeemably racist, white privileged society. When they had the keys to the kingdom, they did their all to remake the US. The birth year of the country dropped from 1776 to 1619, the year in which the first black slave reached American shores. Even this past week, the “black national anthem” was played at an NFL game. Microaggressions guaranteed that everyone was a racist: he put on his right shoe before his left, therefore he hates black people and might be provoked to kill a few. The real purveyors of hate announced that due to the color of their skin or their last name they could in no way be racists. So their antisemitic and anti-white behavior received a veneer of respectability when all it was was a different form of bigotry and hatred. It is no surprise that a majority of Democratic youth support Hamas, a genocidal Islamic terror group. They have been told over their short years that the US is evil, that Jews and Israel are bad, and that Islam is a religion of peace. One can simply watch video shot by the very terrorists who entered Israel on October 7, 2023 to debunk the argument that Israel is committing genocide and that Hamas is engaged in “resistance” (the most abused word in the English language). But our Democratic youth would rather remain ignorant and certain of its righteousness rather than know the truth. Those who engaged with Charlie Kirk suddenly got a history lesson that no teacher had ever bothered to give them. That’s why they found him dangerous: he pierced their bubble built on lies.
The US is always best served by having two strong political parties offering patriotic alternatives to a better American future. The problem we have today is that one party is far from patriotism and the fundamental values that made America great. In the past it was not so unusual to hear God’s name in public discourse. Roosevelt mentioned it to get America into war and MacArthur mentioned it at the end of the same war. Charlie Kirk was not afraid to discuss God. America works when it runs according to its charter documents. When a Democratic senator recently said that our rights come from the government and not the Creator, we learned how far lost is the party of Roosevelt.
