Dems are caught in the ’80/20 loop’ and it’s killing them…

President Trump’s speech to Congress was a massive success—many are calling it the greatest presidential speech of all time.

While President Trump celebrated a major political victory with last night’s speech, Dems took yet another devastating hit. Their situation is getting dire, and more people are starting to notice what’s being called the “80/20 problem.” We’ll get to that in a moment.

Even Brit Hume—a well-known Trump critic—couldn’t deny the reality. He summed up President Trump’s night perfectly:

And the American people were please, as well. Just take a look at these two sets of numbers:

The Americans who tuned in felt “hopeful” and “proud.” According to this CBS poll, they also saw President Trump as both “presidential” and “unifying.”

What this shows us is that this was a turning point for the White House. They came in with a mandate—and they’re delivering, hitting every target along the way.

What made the night especially interesting—aside from President Trump’s solid points, heartwarming moments, epic takedowns of the Dems, and perfectly timed humor—was the Democrat reaction. They desperately tried to revive their tired 2016 resist act, but it fell completely flat and looked completely awkward.

The American people are in a very different headspace. They’ve seen what President Trump can do for the country. They watched the debacle of the 2020 election. And they just suffered through four years of Joe Biden’s disastrous presidency and the left’s unhinged, failed policies. What are the Dems resisting? Law and order, a secure border, no more endless wars, ending fraud and waste? Nobody knows, not even the Dems.

They’re right—those bingo cards aren’t a winning strategy, especially when the American people are feeling hopeful and energized.

The Democrats have a massive problem—they’re pandering to the unhinged 20 percent while the other 80 percent look on, wondering where common sense and sanity went. This is the infamous 80/20 problem, and it’s exactly why President Trump won in a landslide in 2024.

Trump planted his flag with the 80 percent on every major issue. The Democrats, meanwhile, bet everything on the radical 20 percent—and they lost big.

But what’s truly remarkable is that they’ve learned nothing. They’re still doing it. Stuck in the same 80/20 loop, doubling down on the losing side. And it’s killing their party.

Take any major issue in the US—like men hijacking women’s sports—and the Dems’ 80/20 problem is on full display.

And speaking of the Democrats’ 80/20 problem, just take a look at this poll—it says it all. According to CNN, a staggering 80% of Americans thought Al Green’s behavior was inappropriate after he was tossed from the speech.

It’s very clear to see that Dems have an 80/20 problem—a massive gap that spells big trouble. But the real issue is that they don’t even seem to realize it. Instead of course-correcting, they’re doubling and tripling down on the insane 20 percent.

Ideology is all they know.

It is their panacea.

They will double down, triple down, quadruple down when things go afoul of their plans.

It’s all they know how to do.

To them, their ideology is their religion. Government is their temple and it must grow, and grow and grow.

Anything that upsets their plan is heresy and must be destroyed.

They do not know how to deal with loss, because that is not supposed to happen.

Like the Borg on Star Trek, if you do something different and illogical, they will freeze...................

What are their goals?

1. They seek to FLIP the censorship issue !
2. They want their money.
3. They want DEI

Hmmm

On March 7, 2025, we rally to defend science as a public good and pillar of social, political, and economic progress.
We call on policymakers, institutions, and the scientific community to uphold the integrity of science, protect its accessibility, and ensure its benefits serve all people. To achieve this, we seek the following policy actions.
1. End Censorship and Political Interference in Science
Science thrives on open inquiry and evidence-based decision-making. We demand:
⛔️ An end to government censorship: Prohibit all forms of political censorship in scientific research, including restrictions on the topics of scientific research that are eligible for federal funding.
📊 Restoration of public access to scientific information: Restore all scientific data, reports, and resources on federal websites to pre-January 31st, 2025 status, ensuring full public access to primary scientific sources.
🧑‍⚖️ Protection of research independence: Mandate legal safeguards against political interference to preserve the integrity of federal research and communication.
🗣️ A commitment to freedom of scientific expression: Protect scientists’ rights to communicate their findings freely, without fear of retaliation or suppression.
2. Secure and Expand Scientific Funding
Publicly funded science drives innovation, strengthens the economy, and improves lives. We demand:
💸 Restoration of federal research funding: Reinstate federal funding for scientific research across all disciplines to FY 2024 levels and commit a 20% increase in federal scientific funding over the next three years followed by annual increases indexed to inflation to ensure sustained scientific advancement.
💼 Reinstatement of wrongfully dismissed federal employees: Rehire all unlawfully terminated scientists and administrators at federal agencies (including, but not limited to, the NSF, NIH, CDC, EPA, NOAA, NPS, NWS, NASA, FWS, and FDA) with full back pay and benefits.
💵 Removal of the 15% cap on indirect funding for NIH-funded grants and reinstatement of indirect funding policies as they existed prior to January 1, 2025.
3. Defend Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility in Science
Science is strongest when it includes everyone. Attacks on diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility are attacks on science itself. We demand:
🧬 Preservation of equitable access to STEM: Maintain and expand federal programs that broaden participation in STEM training and careers.
🥼 Protection for minoritized scientists: Enforce anti-discrimination protections for minoritized scientists to ensure equitable participation and impact.
🔭 Reinstatement of DEIA initiatives: Restore all DEIA programming within federal agencies to pre-January 1, 2025 status, ensuring continued progress toward equity.
Science is for everyone. Science keeps us safe, and enables us to live longer, healthier lives. We call on leaders at every level, regardless of political affiliation, to champion and protect scientific research, education, and communication—for the progress, prosperity, and well-being of all.
STAND UP FOR SCIENCE
STAND UP FOR SCIENCE
March 7, 2025. Washington DC and nationwide. Because science is for everyone.
