The Poisoning of the Democrat Mind

On Tuesday night, President Donald Trump stood in the House of Representatives and introduced DJ Daniel, a 13-year-old boy battling brain cancer who desperately wants to be a police officer. His local police department made DJ an honorary officer. Last year, a video went viral of people ridiculing DJ for proudly wearing his uniform. He went viral for a the second time on Tuesday night when Democrats refused to applaud him for his struggle with cancer.

At the not-quite State of the Union, President Trump heralded DJ's valiant fight against cancer and made him an honorary member of the United States Secret Service. On Wednesday, DJ got to roam the White House, and reporters videoed him hugging President Trump in the Oval Office. On Tuesday night, Democrats could not muster the normalcy or decency to just clap for the kid.

On MSNBC, the rich, white, neurotic women who hold the Democratic Party captive let loose. Nichole Wallace openly hoped DJ would not grow up to be like the police officers who committed suicide after Jan. 6, 2021. Rachael Maddow called it "disgusting" that Trump would invite DJ to the ceremony. On CBS, Stephen Colbert blasted the Democrats for failing to do anything significant to protest Trump even as Americans watched Congressman Al Green get dragged out of the House Chambers. Democrats held up signs and dressed in bubblegum pink. All that was missing in the Democrats' circus was a flaming trapeze. They resorted to a metaphorical flaming bag of poop in their conduct.

On Wednesday, Steve Rattner, who manages Michael Bloomberg's billions after a stint in the Obama White House, went on MSNBC's "Morning" to reiterate that former President Joe Biden had a great economy. The American public disagreed and removed Biden from office. Only with him gone do Democrats now care about an economy they cratered. But for four years, MSNBC, The New York Times, the late-night hosts, the pundits, the editorialists, and the activists all insisted everything was fine.

They insisted Joe Biden was fine. They insisted Kamala Harris was sharp. They insisted the economy was great. They insisted the border was secure. They insisted indicting Trump could stop him and that convicting him would turn Americans against him. They insisted a massive COVID-19 relief package would not provoke inflation. They insisted that they could call their Green New Deal the Inflation Reduction Act and Americans would believe it. Now they cannot clap for a kid with cancer or show compassion to the family of Laken Riley, murdered by an illegal alien, who was also present on Tuesday night.

Their editorialists affirm them. Their talking heads echo them. Their pundits praise them. Their activists push them until further and further left they go. The party of women wants men in women's sports. The party of science embraces the pseudoscience of transgenderism. The party of compassion ignores a kid with cancer. The party that smugly thinks it is on the right side of history has gotten on the wrong side of the American people.

To Democrats, led by their media voices, the problem is the people, not the Democrats. The people are stupid, duped, racists, bigots, Nazis, desirous of whiteness or otherwise bad. The only virtuous Americans are those who agree with the progressive left, which amounts to around 20% of the American public. Likewise, it is never their policies or proposals, just their messaging that is off. Guided by the voices of MSNBC, a network watched, on average, by just two-tenths of a single percent of the American public, and the neurotic women and gay men of The New York Times, the Democrats are not so much out of touch as they are outside reality.

Democrats have built an echo chamber that is poisoning them. Their preferred news network, newspapers, and voices, intoxicated by power and control, lack the humility to relate to people outside of their bubble. Their thought leader on MSNBC instead of wishing a young Black teen battling brain cancer well, hoped he would not grow up to commit suicide. That is what the Democrats are doing by listening to Wallace, Maddow, Colbert, etc.
