    The Democrat party right now is a rudderless ship. They have no
    leadership, no prospective victories on the horizon, no serious candidates
    to lead them through the desert, and they all just look miserable. Donald
    Trump at this moment has completely destroyed the Democrat party. Since
    his historic victory in November, the wins just keep coming—to name a few,
    he has single-handedly secured the border, accelerated economic growth,
    passed his “One Beautiful Bill,” secured peace agreements across several
    major countries, defunded NPR and PBS, do I need to continue? It’s only
    July. Honestly, he could pass the presidency off to VP JD Vance right now
    and still go down as the greatest president of our lifetime.

    Democrats are not only taking these losses one by one, but the effort to
    push back on Trump has left them embarrassed, demoralized, and searching
    for answers. Let’s look at five ways the Dems lost to Trump and lost their minds.

    Self-Owns

    No one can pull a classic self-own better than the Democrats. Typically,
    the party is pretty good at sticking together. It can be hard at times to
    peel off certain members to vote with Republicans. Well, that was not the
    case last month when Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) attempted a vote to impeach President Trump. The vote failed on the House floor by a count of 344 to
    79. The founder of OutKick.com, Clay Travis, put it this way on X:

    Democrat impeachment attempt against Trump fails 344 to 79. Democrats
    voted against impeaching Trump 128 to 79. Tough look for AOC.

    I never thought I’d see a day when Democrats on the House floor voted in
    favor of keeping Donald Trump in office. That was something to behold.

    Stupid Stunts

    Usually, when a member of Congress is going to do something stupid, it
    doesn’t involve taxpayer dollars. That was not the case when Maryland
    Senator Chris Van Hollen took a trip to El Salvador to rescue a “Maryland constituent.” After deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador, Sen.
    Van Hollen began his crusade to get this upstanding man back to his family
    in America. The only problem? Garcia is an MS-13 gang member who entered
    the country illegally and has ties to human trafficking. This is the man
    Van Hollen wanted to bring back to the United States? The Department of Homeland Security put it this way:

    Kilmar Abrego Garcia is not a “Maryland Man”—he is an MS-13 gang
    member involved in human trafficking who entered the United States
    illegally. His removal from the United States should have occurred under
    the Biden Administration. He will not return to our country under the
    Trump Administration.

    Once Abrego Garcia was deported, Van Hollen made a show of his trip to El Salvador and the subsequent meeting he had with him. Politically, I know
    how the game is played, sometimes we push the limit to make a point—but
    this stunt by Van Hollen was purely driven by Trump Derangement Syndrome.
    Plus, our tax dollars paid for the trip.

    Stalling

    President Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” was at one point a legislative
    pipe dream. It is now the law of the land, and I give a lot of credit to
    House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) for getting this across the finish line. However, before the vote, Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) made
    history by faux-filibustering and stalling the vote on the floor. The
    stunt was not only a huge waste of time and eventually unsuccessful in
    stopping the passage of the legislation, but it also bit Jeffries in the
    butt. An old tweet surfaced where Jeffries called the filibuster “a Jim
    Crow era relic that has been used to stop progress for decades.”

    Of course, this is when extreme Democrats were working to eliminate the filibuster entirely—so he was against it at that time. Speaker Johnson
    made headlines by speaking shortly after passage of the BBB, stating
    sharply, “It takes a lot longer to build a lie than to tell the simple
    truth.” Democrats have been doing everything they can to stall Trump, but
    the wins keep coming.

    Singing

    Oh Lord, the singing. To protest Trump in the way only liberal democrats
    can do, the singing began. They sang to protest Trump on the Capitol
    steps. They sang to protest the DOGE cuts and Elon Musk. They even did a synchronized dance around the Kennedy Center—which was really special. I
    know that both sides of the political aisle do some kooky things at times,
    but it usually doesn’t involve elected officials beclowning themselves regularly in public. Very disturbing.

    Trump won big, there is no denying that. This list could easily be a lot longer, but you get the idea. Democrats are lost, they’re searching for answers, they’re looking for ways to push back against Republicans—but
    they just keep making things worse. Through insane policies, Democrats
    handed Trump another chance at the White House. Their effort to push back
    has given the right decades of embarrassing videos to use against them.


    --
    November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look
    forward to America being great again.

    We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
    stupid people won't be offended.

    Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.

    Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama
    / Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.

    Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
    The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
    queer liberal democrat donors.

    Ummm ... Trump won "ok". An amazing number of idiots
    still voted for that pinhead K "just because". If
    nothing else the Dems are, or were, much more "unified"
    than GOP. The latter will turn on The Vision over any
    ultra-tiny issue.

    The Dems though, the party HAS fallen apart into several
    factions. The most extreme commie left is TRYING to pretend
    it's the leader, but it isn't working well.

    IMHO there's gonna have to be two or three new parties or
    the regular Dems are gonna have to somehow expel the rads.
    At least 3/4 seem to be fairly moderate/centrist leaning -
    a little left but not ridiculously so. If the party is to
    have any kind of future they'll HAVE to boot the rads.
    Won't be pretty ...

    TDS won't work for the rads anymore because this is Trump's
    last term. His likely replacements are too different.
