Much has already been said about the behavior of Democrats during Trump’s speech to Congress this week. What I have not heard anyone say is that the Democratic party needs to change or die off like the Whig party.
It’s not just that what they are doing is offensive to a growing number of people, it’s the fact that it’s not working. The resistance, the color coded outfits, the tantrums, the screeching about Russia and Hitler. It’s over. No one is buying it and it’s doing nothing for the country or even them.
Even the decidedly liberal outlet Politico is admitting it:
Insider poll: The Democratic Party has ‘lost its way’Voters still have a sour view of Democrats six weeks after President Donald Trump and Republicans swept into Washington with control of all branches of the federal government, according to a new poll.A plurality of voters — 40 percent — said the Democratic Party doesn’t have any strategy whatsoever for responding to Trump, according to the survey by the liberal firm Blueprint that was shared first with POLITICO. Another 24 percent said Democrats have a game plan, but it’s a bad one.A paltry 10 percent said that the party has a solid technique for dealing with Trump. And that’s coming from a Democratic outfit’s survey.The unsparing findings, issued by a group backed by mega-donor Reid Hoffman, amount to a major rebuke of the party’s approach to the dawn of Trump’s second term. And they come at a moment when Democrats are already feeling despondent after their roundly mocked response to Trump’s address to Congress on Tuesday, which was lambasted as unproductive and amateurish.“Voters correctly identified that the Democratic Party has lost its way,” said Evan Roth Smith, the top pollster for Blueprint. “The Democratic response [Tuesday] night was more or less a continuation of what we’ve seen from Democrats so far.
A CBS News poll indicated that 76% of people who watched the speech found it positive and hopeful.
Watch this clip and pay close attention to the yellow line, which indicates independent voters.
The toxic message coming out of left wing media is making Democrats worse by constantly upping the ante.
The always great Ace of Spades suggests that Democrats are simply incapable of changing:
Democrats are in the same position they’ve been in since Obama: They are cowed by their hardest-left, most partisan maniacs who they dare not cross and who they’re always trying to placate.They continue losing moderates and normies, and have no plan out of this spiral towards extinction except continuing to hope that the moderates and normies either don’t mind or don’t notice that they’re hard-left maniacs, or hoping that the moderates and normies become as radicalized as they are and join the hard-left partisan maniacs.They have no other plan except this. This is the same “plan” they’ve been trying since 2015: We’ll just scream and cry and whine and slander people until they give in to us out of exhaustion.But the trouble is that this plan already did work… for a while. For a while, normies were willing to just give in to the Screamers and Emotional Blackmailers in hopes that they would be appeased and just leave the normies alone for a while.But they never did leave them alone. So now the normies understand that there is no appeasing these people, so they’re done appeasing them. Forever.
While we’re at it, someone might want to tell the Democrats that it’s not the 1960s anymore.
The American people are looking for solutions. If all the Democratic party has to offer is protests, the country will simply move on without them.
