Virtually every time you tune into conservative talk shows, you hear show hosts and their guests declare that the Democratic Party is all but finished. The same phenomenon occurs when visiting conservative news and opinion sites.
Seemingly everyone on the Right is convinced that we are witnessing the demise of the Democrat Party. We learn of demented Democrat leaders who rationalize or mock the assassination of Charlie Kirk. We see extreme radicals like Zohran Mamdani who could well become the next mayor of New York City. We encounter stories about Michelle Wu in Boston, Eric Johnson in Chicago, and Karen Bass in Los Angeles among countless woke mayors who are driving their cities into the ground.
We think to ourselves, okay, great. They're digging their own graves. It will only be a matter of time before the voters un-elect them and bring in individuals more moderate, more rational.
We encounter reports about ineffective governors like Gavin Newsom of California, J.B. Pritzker of Illinois, Wes Moore of Maryland, and Phil Murphy of New Jersey and we conclude that the voters in those states will not continue to elect such leaders, especially those who espouse radical ideas about illegal aliens, voting procedures, the dispensation of tax dollars, and so on.
Half of America
Now consider that the Democrat party is not dead. Half of America continues to believe that Trump is an evil dictator, the GOP only cares about the rich, Republicans are racist, U.S. foreign policies is in shambles, the tariffs aren't working, transsexuals belong in women’s sports, Putin perpetually outfoxes Donald Trump, China is overtaking us, and illegal immigrants deserve a ton of freebies
Half of the country believes as such because, as you and I know, they've been thoroughly indoctrinated by Leftist media, which unfortunately predominates in society and largely controls public discourse. Certainly the blogs, alternate news sites, and a variety of other credible sources have made inroads.

Still, 74,999,166 million people voted for Kamala Harris, a highly unqualified candidate who would have had zero capabilities on the international stage, allowed millions more to flood our borders, vanquished our education system, and drained the U.S. Treasury beyond repair. In other words, all is not well with much of the voting populace.
Prior to her installation as the Democrat presidential nominee, Harris had the lowest rating among VPs, ever. As a senator she was unpopular. When she ran for the Democratic nomination in 2020 she was eliminated by one stinger observation from Tulsi Gabbard.
Harris hastily exited the primaries without garnering a single vote. Yet, four years later, incredibly, nearly 75 million people voted for her.
Money to Spare
One can argue that many millions were simply casting a non-Trump vote.
Switch out Kamala Harris, however, and grab someone like Gavin Newsom. Although he's a disaster as a governor, occasionally he does spout a few intelligent sentences.
Newsom will be bankrolled beyond belief by Leftist billionaires and the power elite in California. He will represent a potentially formidable adversary to the Republican nominee be it J.D. Vance or Marco Rubio.
If not Newsom, somebody else will emerge. Why is a madman like Mamdani on the verge of claiming the mayoral post in New York? He is being bankrolled to the tune of two billion dollars by George Soros in a grand scheme designed to make it look like Mamdani’s campaign is all grassroots.
We Are Not a Lock
In any case, we must not let down our guard. It is sobering to recall the so-called Red Wave that was supposed to occur in the 2022 elections. Likewise, we are not a lock for the 2026 primaries. What’s more, we are not a lock for the 2028 presidential election, and House and Senate elections.
No matter what amazing accomplishments Donald Trump and company are able to achieve over the next several months and years, the Left will twist the news and, sadly, their constituents won't know the difference.
So it doesn't matter how ineffective and how far to the Left the Democrat Party has moved. They are not dead. They've got the funds, they've got the resources, they've got the global audience, and they've got everything they need to continue on.
We must be vigilant and make sure we vote in all forthcoming election, influence our friends, write commentary and opinion pieces, and make our voices heard. To do less is to signal that we've been lulled to sleep. To believe that we're simply going to keep winning elections from now on is pure folly.
