The Pavlovian Left goes berserk at the mere prospect of each new Trump initiative. Its escalating reactive venom and hysteria are calibrated to the success of Trump’s latest policy. Yet the new hard-left Democratic Party offers no counter-agenda to explain its furor. Still less do Democrats attempt bipartisan efforts to craft shared legislation.
Take foreign policy. Democrat senators trashed the recent Trump-Putin Alaskan summit as a failure. Then they became depressed when, just days later, an entourage of European leaders and President Zelensky of Ukraine suddenly flew to the White House.

They have three - AOC, Crockett and Harris. Must have intersectionality. Then there is Mamdani in the wings. He was born in Uganda? That’s just next door to Kenya!

The Democrat party presents no "no counter-agenda" to Trump because its agenda is anti-American. Those who actually control the party behind the scenes, whoever they are, want to destroy the country, and the fake agendas they've used to disguise that goal no longer resonate with most Americans.

Democrats have lost their humanity. Shouldn't it be who instead of what?

They scream and throw fits, but offer no meaningful alternatives. They are on the wrong side of a dozen issues which are 80/20 issues. They support the nutty, destructive 20% views, and the 80% sensible folks just decide that they cannot support Dems any more.

Dems are pathetically incompetent and stupid. Their policies are absurd.
They hate Trump because he has exposed them for what they truly are. And being what they are, they lack the capability to fight back in any effective way. They are reduced to the last resort of fools and the insane; ranting, raving, and casting insults.
Dems have no alternative to Trump because their raison d'être is void. You can't have a champion to defend nothingness.

Answer: TINA. That stands for "There Is No Alternative"... Or, if you like... nature... as in wilderness.
The Demonrat musical chairs calendar says now is time for a POC wokester... but the voting public is increasingly anti-woke. The only pasty white guys left in the D'rat party (Hairgel in CA, Pissger in IL, etc.) are being exposed for the incompetent clowns they are...and the one semi-competent governor (Shapiro in PA) has no chance to win the nomination of a party that now embraces anti-semitism.

It's hard to get excided about politicians running around acting like angry 6 year-olds. That's where the 'rat party is right now, with the useless media running right along side them. Lunatics all.

The Republican bench is deeper and younger than it has been in decades: Vance, Rubio, DeSantis, Hegseth, Noem, Gabbard, Sarah Sanders, etc, etc)!!!!!
The Democrats have nobody who could hope to win in flyover country!!!!
We can never let our guard down against Democrat cheating, but I don't think the future has ever looked so bright!!!!!

The Dems would be better off having AI run as their candidate.
Their humans don't stand a chance.
