What happened to the party of Presidents Harry Truman and John F. Kennedy? The Democratic Party used to represent the interests of working-class people and display their patriotic support for our country. Today, Democrats show more concern about the war in Ukraine than with the struggles of average Americans.
Some Democrats, like Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett of Texas, are more supportive of foreign countries than America. In an interview on The Breakfast Club radio show, Crockett said, “The fact that I am rooting for Canada and I’m rooting for Mexico a lot is really wild.”
Yes, it is wild and quite sad. Over the years, the Democratic Party has been captured by far-left progressives like Crockett who represent extreme views, such as focusing on transgender rights, which most Americans do not support.
In a recent New York Times survey, 79% of Americans expressed opposition to “biological males competing in women’s sports.” Nevertheless, in January, almost every Democrat in Congress, 206, voted against a bill that would have protected female athletes from competing against biological males.
Recently, at a White House meeting, President Donald Trump said the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) would comply with his executive order, “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports.” Yet, he noted the Governor of Maine, Janet Mills, was planning to defy his order.
Trump told Mills, “See you in court,” and vowed Maine would not “get any federal funding” if it refused to comply with his order. Trump also noted the unpopularity of her position and predicted Mills should “Enjoy your life after governor because I don’t think you’ll be in elected politics.”

Trump is right, this type of radical position does not have the support of most Americans. Nevertheless, the last four Democrat presidential nominees, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris, have allowed their party’s platform to be hijacked by progressives. Consequently, average Americans do not think the Democratic Party represents them.
This mentality helped President Trump win an electoral vote landslide and a popular vote victory last November. He won in every battleground state and made inroads with minority voters, especially with the Hispanic community, capturing 42% support. Accordingly, Republicans won control of the presidency, the Congress, and most governorships, 27, throughout the country.
Crockett takes no responsibility for those losses but blames the American people. She said, “We’ve got to do better at education. People don’t understand.” Thus, Crockett and many of her Democrat colleagues believe that if Americans were more educated on the issues, her party would have won the 2024 election.
This mentality explains why Democrats have lost political control and are reeling in the wake of President Trump’s first month in office. Trump has rushed in starting his second term with a flurry of executive orders and bold action, leaving the Democrats staggered. Instead of an effective response to Trump’s exciting and popular moves, Democratic Party leaders have been laughably out of step.
One of their favorite responses is to play the race card. In the wake of President Trump firing Air Force General C.Q. Brown as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Congressman James Clyburn (D-SC) blamed race. In a CNN interview, Clyburn said Brown was fired “because of his skin color.”
Of course, President Trump, like his predecessors, is allowed to hire the military and civilian advisers he trusts for his administration. Yet, Democrats are very quick to play the race card, no matter the situation.
This race obsession from Democrats and their allies in the media is becoming unpopular among the American people. For example, MSNBC has canceled the show hosted by extreme leftist Joy Reid.
On a nightly basis, Reid would accuse President Trump and other Republicans of racism. This act is wearing thin even among MSNBC viewers. The network is expected to lose 10.5% of its viewers “between the end of 2023 and the end of 2025.” In the weeks ahead, there will be other programming changes on MSNBC, which President Trump called “a threat to our democracy.”
While viewers are leaving MSNBC, voters are leaving the Democratic Party. According to a February 19, 2025 poll by Quinnipiac University, only 21% of Americans approve of the actions of Democrats in Congress. In contrast, the approval rating for congressional Republicans is 40%, and it is 45% for President Trump.
While those are not sky-high ratings, Republicans have significantly more support than Democrats. One reason is the old, tired leadership of the Democratic Party.
For example, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York is hardly inspiring. He is even being mocked by liberal late-night television comics for his pathetic cheerleading at Democratic Party rallies.
In comparison, President Trump, while four years older than Schumer, displays youthful vigor and energy. He is a dynamic leader and Democrats have no one who remotely compares.
This is a major reason Democrat pollster Mark Penn admits that his party’s ratings are “falling off a cliff.” In his latest poll, Democratic Party approval ratings are only 35%, compared to the “high 40’s” in previous surveys.
In an interview on Fox News, Penn acknowledged that voters see the Democratic Party “a lot more negatively than they did on Election Day.” Penn credits the decline to voters’ reevaluation of the party on issues such as immigration, economic policy, and social policies.
Penn lamented, “In the Democratic Party, I have never seen anything like this. This is a record low for the Democratic Party in terms of favorability. It has fallen…I don’t think there’s any leadership right now that’s going to be able to bring that back.”
It is such a toxic environment for Democrats today that ESPN sports commentator Stephen A. Smith is being touted as a presidential candidate in 2028. On his podcast, Smith admitted that his name is surfacing because Democrats “suck right now! Horrible! Because they don’t have a voice! Where the hell is the voice?” Well said, Stephen A.!
Pull the plug. Do not resuscitate. This diseased blob is stage-4 terminal and is destined for the ash heap of history.
Supreme understatement.
The only problem with replacing the Democrats with something else, is………what do you put in its place.
The unreconstructed Leftists will want to put the same thing in place, because they learned nothing. The slightly center left Dems are simply not strong enough to resist.
So what will change? Just the name that these losers operate under.
Agreed. Any replacement would just be a reorganization of the current party structure, and should be considered a Trojan horse, because the people who control the money won’t change. They would definitely use it to hide until they gain power again and start re-introducing Leftist policies.
The NSDAP (Nazi Party) was removed at the end of WWII and their operatives and sympathizers expelled from govt and other positions of authority. It can be done. There are still socialists in Germany, but they don’t have the level of control and influence that the Nazis had during their reign. Political parties come and go, and there are examples throughout U.S. and European history, but the Progressive Democrat Party is now decades beyond its “sell by” date and needs to be removed from the body politic of the American Republic. They have shown themselves to be an organized crime enterprise masquerading as a political party, and their acts of sedition, treason, and massive fraud must be prosecuted and those responsible given the maximum sentences allowed (including the penalties spelled out in the U.S. Constitution for treason).
The Democrats used to wait until they were losing an argument until they played the race card. Now they lead with it, hoping to cut off debate even before it begins. Hoping Jasmine Crocket is the Dem nominee for president in 2028. J.D. Vance or Ron DeSantis would destroy her in a debate and on the campaign trail.
Look at the individuals in both parties. The vast majority are second rate lawyers who were writing wills and defending DUI tickets. No future because of lack of intellect and/or no social standing to attract big accounts.
By joining a “party” they have social contacts and a chance to make some cash. Congress requires little intellect and few morals, period. That is why sex, drugs and rock and roll infest DC. It is great for a blackmail equation extorting money and contracts!
Expect very little, it is all you will receive from your reps.
Brutally frank, but true.
As long as the Democrats remain blind to what the American people want, there’s nothing to fear…
Todays Democrats need to read Michael Savages book the he wrote in early 2024 titled LIBERALISM (Democratic Party) IS A MENTAL DISORDER!!
Chuck Schumer? That pathetic hen-pecked punk of a Senator does nothing to defend his fellow Jews especially in NYC. His leading “chants” was pathetic. Also note, that the large cities run by Democrats are being RUN INTO THE GROUND: Los Angeles, NYC, Chicago – the list is endless. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result. The Dem party is INSANE.
Intensive Care Unit, you say????!!!! No, that would be a medical assignment error! The DNC needs to be in a lock down Psychiatric Unit!
NEVER, EVER vote for a Dem, progressive, liberal or RINO. Or ANY Career pol.
Mitch. Lindsay, Durbin. Schumer. Nancy. Grassley. Warren. Baldwin. Adam Schiff.
Twelve Years total. House & Senate.
…and I’ll add Ron Johnson and Cruz. While I politically agree with these two. They are entering the “Lifer Club.” OUT!
Oh.. This list could be much longer…
Congressional term limits. Twelve years LIFETIME maximum.
No retirement benefits. Afterall, it is “Public Service.” (They retire at the salary they received on their last paycheck. Roughly $170K.. Some more.)
Repeal the Seventeenth Amendment.
Restore States rights.

A vote for Demonocrat is a vote for suicide. Lie-beral Demonocrats are NOT qualified to run our country, but they DO KNOW how to run it into the ground. Their legacy is Lies and Stealing. Those are their true colors.
In the article picture we see Chuckie Schumer, trundling along, no tie, rumpled shirt, a little stooped over, and those glasses forever perched on his nose.
The absolute picture of the loser that he is. The look of defeat is all over him.
Hey Chuck, retire now and spare us another shouting session on the street with auntie Maxine. You can always pretend to cook another burger on your grill.
The Liberal Demo-Rats/Globalists and Socialists are the enemy along with Useless Nations which has Failed its job and now demands a One World Government under their rule
Stephen A. is a dope. Even prior to the pres. election, he was always acting like he was “criticizing” the Dems, then turns around and votes for Kamala.
