You might be excused for thinking that the Democrats are flat-out insane in clinging as tightly as their girlish arms can to the dismal side of a raft of 80% v. 20% hot-button issues and ostentatiously obstructing the ability of the winners of the last election to govern, but there’s a method to their mendacity. The total war strategy by the party that mostly can’t do a push-up – the recent spate of embarrassing consultant-driven videos of congressweenies pumping aluminum notwithstanding – is a bluff, a fake, a front. Democrats are not fighting Republicans – they really can’t since we just ran the table on all three branches. They are fighting each other, with the Loony Left terrified of the Even Loonier Left.
All this stuff, from Cory Booker’s Spartacus monologues performed for an empty Senate to packs of Dem reps being dissed and dismissed by GS-5s at the doors of ICE jails to the endless cringerrific vids they litter our X timelines with, is them not trying to win the battle against the GOP. They can’t. It’s an attempt to prove their Bolshevik bona fides to the kooks to their left who are eyeing their seats. It’s performance art and, like all performance art, it’s a painful combination of stupid and ridiculous that appeals only to a select group of goofs. Unfortunately for Team Donkey, it’s those goofs who are currently ascendant.
There are so many examples of them attempting to avoid the crocodiles by hiding in the minefield. The border issue comes to mind. Even their reptile brains understand that they can’t very well scream because Trump slammed shut the border doors that President Eggplant and Vice President Down-the-Hatch threw open. That’s why they are stuck complaining incessantly about Trump kicking the Third World invaders out. But they can’t just complain that we’re being a little harsh – we’re not being anywhere near harsh enough, of course. No, they have to shriek in the defense of perverts, thugs, gangbangers, murderers, wife beaters, and other assorted scumbags. Every single time they offer up some examples of ICE’s perfidy in the regime media, a deeper dive reveals this guy’s got a record that makes Jeffrey Dahmer look like Mother Teresa. When you’re to the point that you’re so afraid of your own left wing that you fly down to El Salvador to have margaritas with a dude who beats on his wife like a French president’s wife beats on him – I take no position on the question of whether or not Brigitte Macron has a penis – you know you’ve crossed the line into insanity.

The Democrats choose to die on the hill of DEI, although DEI is as popular as an STD. They are still pushing the insanity not only of allowing hairy sasquatch boys to wander commando through girls’ locker rooms, and are all in favor of allowing Munchausen mommies to carve up their kids to conform to their delusions. They won’t lock up criminals because that’s racist, and they won’t let you rebuild your house when it’s been burned down through Democrat incompetence, presumably because doing so is racist, too.
Just look at Israel. The Democrats used to have a lock on the American Jewish vote. Now, it’s all from the river to the sea. Regular Democrats are siding with the psychopathic murderers because Democrat activists are siding with the psychopathic murderers. It’s a suicide pact, and Democrats are entering into it, figuring that they can pull out before they have to pull the trigger. But all it does is put off the inevitable. At some point, they’re going to have to confront these sociopaths. The problem is that regular Democrats— the ones who are just leftist lunatics instead of leftist ultra-lunatics— don’t have the energy in this fight. The last time the merely leftist lunatic Democrats pulled off a win was when they managed to stuff Droolin’ Joe Biden into the presidency ahead of an ultra-leftist lunatic. That worked terribly for them, though not as terribly as it would’ve if the ultra-leftist lunatics had won. They’re really in a bad place, and you have to laugh at them, except for the fact that in a two-party system, both parties have at least some chance of victory, which means there is a non-zero chance that the ultra-leftist lunatics might take power down the road.
But that’s down the road, fortunately. The polling for the Democrats has never been worse among normal people. That’s not their audience for these antics. They’ve got to take out the short-term target before they start thinking about the target waiting two or three terrain features ahead— that is, they’ve got to deal with the ultra-leftist lunatics before starting to appeal to normal people again. Standing right in front of them are the Zohran Mamdanis with switchblades, looking to cut their figurative throats. Or not-so-figurative throats, should he and his Marxist/jihadi axis of evil get real power, but again, that’s down the road.
Short-term pain is what Democrats seek to avoid, and the short-term pain comes from the insane super leftists gunning for them. This means they’ve got a focus on survival, not being smart. The smart play is to appeal to relatively normal people by being relatively normal. Keep in mind that relatively normal people don’t like acrimonious politics. They don’t like screaming and yelling. They want to be able to cede politics to the professionals and go about their lives, raising their families, having good jobs, and generally doing anything else but politics. The Democrat Party could do that, and boost its standing considerably, by rejecting reflexive hyper opposition and obstructionism, and working with Trump and the Republicans to provide bipartisan victories. That way, they do not look insane. But that’s impossible. Their left wing won’t tolerate it. It has to be total war, except the kind without guns, only because they don’t have any.
They have backed themselves into a corner. They can’t do a U-turn and stop being obnoxiously obstructive because they’ve already designated Trump and everyone who voted for him as literally Hitler. There’s nowhere to go from there. You can’t reason or work with literally Hitler. To do so admits that the other side is not literally Hitler, and you’re kind of a jerk for lying about it. They certainly aren’t going to be able to do that, at least not until they get their butts kicked in a few more election cycles. While history is on their side for 2026, the economy is getting better, and if the economy is rocking, they are doomed. And then what will they do?
Well, if recent history is any indication, they’ll double down on dumb.
