It’s no longer a case of political analysis—it’s now a hostage situation a la Die Hard in Los Angeles, except no Christmas party. The Democratic Party base is insane. It’s niche, regional, illiberal, and loaded with crazies. The foot soldiers of the Obama coalition are now Republicans. We took that from them, and they’re not coping well. It’s now the old, crusty, ex-hippie, New Left clowns who hope to repeat ’68, but those days are dead. They will, however, threaten violence against those who stand in their way, which leads us to our current standoff.
The Schumer Shutdown is now 21 days old, and it hasn't done a thing to hurt President Trump’s popularity. Trump has become more popular since the shutdown. No one is blaming him for this mess like last time, either. Why? Well, what’s at stake is night and day. Democrats shut down the government to extort another $1.5 trillion for illegal alien health care and NPR funding. That was never going to last.
Now, the new talking point is about expiring Obamacare subsidies, which is an issue, Republicans know it, but the time that would’ve been spent resolving it got dashed because Democrats shut down the government. We’re the side that wanted a clean seven-week Continuing Resolution to give time to fix this and 12 other appropriation bills. Still, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) had to do this to appease their base, which is five times more likely to endorse or support political violence.
Last weekend, legions of the dead, aka the ex-hippies, wasted their Saturday at these "No Kings" protests, which were another absurd exercise, since Trump won the Electoral College, all seven swing states, and the popular vote. It’s why there was no serious anti-Electoral College psychobabble this time around—we owned the Democrats in all phases of the game.
What Trump is doing is nothing shocking. He laid out everything on the stump. What we saw last weekend was a bunch of deranged lunatics still sore after 2024.
It’s the "we only like the USA when we win" bunch. They should try what we do – not be insane and focus on winning elections.
But this shutdown, demanded by the Democrat base, didn’t ding Trump’s popularity, and now these pathetic "No Kings" rallies are already forgotten. The Left does not have the reach anymore. We all see their true colors, and it’s a hideous sight. All Democrats have are "anti-Trump" tantrums, with no agenda, message, or leaders to rally around.
What a mess, but one that I’m not willing to clean up for obvious reasons. I want Democrats to remain in the wilderness, which now goes beyond political interest, but also self-preservation. These people are now shooting people and attacking federal facilities.
