A few Democratic officeholders, activists, and pundits are finally coming to their senses that their brand is toxic to a majority of the American people.
The Biden administration killed what was left of it in a number of ways.
First, it serially lied to Americans about the cognitive decline and cancerous condition of President Joe Biden, both while in and after office.
Only when caught did the complicit media fess up that the Biden inner circle serially misled the American people about Biden’s inability to fulfill the duties of the presidency.
Second, left-wing politicos used Biden as a waxen effigy. His job was to pose as a “moderate” cover to push through the most radical and unpopular agenda in the last half century.
Only that way could “Old Joe Biden from Scranton” and his backroom handlers ram down the throat of the American people unpopular policies that nearly wrecked the country: hyperinflation and $7 trillion in new debt, weaponization of the government, and partisan lawfare, an open border and 12 million illegal aliens, a racialist DEI commissariat, a crackpot Green New Deal, defunding the police, biological men competing in girls’ sports, and two theater-wide wars abroad.
Third, without either a functional president or viable initiatives, the new hard-left Democrats sought to brand Donald Trump as “Hitler” and half the country who supported him as “fascists.”
For nearly nine years, the Democrats launched one failed hoax after another on the American people: “Russian collusion,” “laptop disinformation,” and the lying so-called “51 intelligence authorities.” They proved quite willing to undermine the rule of law by manipulating the court system in efforts to destroy their bogeyman, Trump.
Never had the American people seen a political party engineer 93 bogus indictments of a rival candidate and ex-president. Two dozen states tried to take Trump off their presidential ballots. And the Biden Department of Justice sicced an FBI SWAT team to barge into Trump’s home.
The people finally got tired of all the potty-mouthed Democrat videos, the congressional stunts and meltdowns, the pampered rich kids rioting on elite campuses, the knee-jerk obsessions with racial slurs, the firebombing of Tesla dealerships, the romanticization of left-wing political murderers — and always the adolescent tantrums over Trump.
The Democrats had mostly given up on democracy some 13 years ago. That was the last time they transparently and democratically nominated Barack Obama a second time as their presidential candidate.
Ever since, their nominations have been rigged.
In 2020, party insiders — terrified of the left-wing crazy primary field — forced out all the leading contenders.
Then they coronated the debilitated but still supposedly useful moderate Biden as their COVID-era candidate. Biden then bragged that he would pick his vice president on the basis of race and gender.
What followed was the most bizarre campaign in history.
Biden stayed put in his basement and outsourced his candidacy to the partisan media.
Party activists changed long-standing voting laws in the key swing states. For the first time in American history, 70 percent of Americans did not vote in person on Election Day — the majority of them by design Democrats.
Next, in 2024, they forced the now no longer useful Biden off the ticket, nullifying his 14 million primary voters.
Then, without a vote, they rammed in inept Vice President Kamala Harris as the nominee. As a failed candidate in 2020, she had never won a single delegate.
Some in the party now concede it must roust out its radicals.
But Democrats will not.
AOC and her Squad, the unhinged Jasmine Crockets of the party, and the ossified socialist Bernie Bros would demonize any Democrat who offered a sane reboot.
A few fossils in the party may think they know how to save it. But they are terrified that the medicine would be considered far worse than the illness that prompted it.
Would Democrats consider embracing measured and legal-only immigration?
No — the crazy base would scream “xenophobe!”
A return to meritocracy and the Martin Luther King notion of race as incidental, not essential, to who we are?
Again, that would be called “racist!”
Maybe reforms to fix failed schools with vouchers, school choice, and charter schools?
Again, “racist!”
How about developing gas and oil reserves and nuclear power to lower energy costs for the struggling middle class?
That would be condemned as “destroying the planet!”
Restore police forces, end critical race and legal theory, and deter criminals with tough sentencing?
Again, “racist!”
How about ceasing the whiny fixations with “white privilege” and “white rage?” Or quit seeing a “white supremacist” under every bed?
Again, “racist!”
The left created DEI — the use of race to adjudicate every political issue.
And like any addictive, toxic drug, they now can neither survive with DEI — nor without it.
The President of the Chicago Teachers Union, who is black, stated school choice is racist. She sends her child to an expensive private school. The College Fix publishes a list of things that the left has laughably deemed racist, such as math,
Never forget: re: President of Chicago Teachers Union: Al Sharpton also sent his two daughers to elite Font Bonne Hall in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. A far cry from whatever schools near where they lived. Total Hypocrisy. and Never Forget: The Tawana Brawley hoax which caused the suicide of a NY cop.
Here is hoping this Albatross gets bigger and bigger then the Democrats cant move
But they can survive with DEI. Just lie about it and have the media support the lie. After all, didn’t the NYT, in 2020, steadfastly maintain that Kamala Harris, she of the furthest Left voting record in the Senate, was a “moderate centerist.”. Didn’t our ” news media” conceal that Biden had made a deal with Bernie Sanders where, in return for the Left’s support in the 2020 election, Biden would let The Party’s Leftists control White House staffing decisions?
The Left this, the Left that! Doesn’t the Right have something to say? Yeah we got Jim Jordan (no suit
jacket so we can see how hard he’s working) and James Comer both always huffing and puffing how
they’re gonna set things right-Yeah Right!!! As Mr Hanson writes the Left has been very busy and from
the Right CRICKETS111
It seems to me that the best description of the rule of Biden is “oligarchy.”
DEI: “An addictive toxic drug.” I can’t think of a better comparison. It’s perfect. And like any drug addiction, the more you take, more you need. And like any dangerous addiction, something awful is going to hit the fan sooner or later.
