Democrats around the country are still licking their wounds after last month’s stinging election defeat — but the party might be sailing toward an even bigger iceberg.
New research from progressive polling outfit Navigator Research shows the party’s reputation is in tatters even among previous backers, who have come to view the Dems as weak, obsessed with “woke” initiatives such DEI and overly accommodating to the elites at the expense of the middle class.
They’re “not a friend of the working class anymore,” a respondent wrote.
Navigator at one point asked participants to compare the Democratic Party to an animal.
One likened them to an ostrich because “they’ve got their heads in the sand and are absolutely committed to their own ideas, even when they’re failing,” said Politico, which first published details of the research.
Another person answered koalas, owing to the fact that the marsupials are “complacent and lazy about getting policy wins we really need.”
Rachel Russell, Navigator Research’s director of polling and analytics, said the findings represent “a pretty scathing rebuke” of the Democratic Party.
“This weakness they see, [Democrats] not getting things done, not being able to actually fight for people — is something that needs to be figured out,” Russell said.
“It might not be the message, it might be the policy. It might be something a little bit deeper that has to be addressed by the party.”
The research was conducted just after the 2024 election and included three distinct focus groups: young men in battleground states who voted Trump in 2020 but Biden this year; battleground state voters who backed Biden in 2020 but abstained from voting in 2024, and blue-state voters who previously backed Democrats — or third-party candidates — but supported Trump in November 2024.
“The elites that run the Democratic...

They never were...they just disguised their faux concern with a lot of Marxist BS to razzle dazzle the useful idiots.
“Liberalism is just the ideological disguise of the ‘will to power’ of some people who could not themselves BE less liberal.” Camus
In hindsight, the Dems throw in the border wide open for four years, trying to get illegals to vote, and then ultimately pushing for amnesty while relocating illegals to red districts in red state seems like the only option they had to maintain power. I know Elon Musk was saying this over and over that this was the plan, and I think we all knew it as well. But what I didn’t count on myself was how resoundingly America rejected the disgusting Democrat party and if we can do deportation at the level that Trump is talking along with securing the border, I think the new GOP with increased blue-collar in minority participation, can stay in power for at least a generation if we do this right
Not to mention the death of the legacy media and the rise of Twitter, in order to get the truth out. No wonder, the progressive and leftist were trying to destroy Twitter, I think the power of it was displayed last week when they shut the spending bill down within hours of it coming out.
They go back to the tactics that always worked in the past.
Hate and emotions will always drive women’s vote because they are not rational actors (en mass) but they neglected the other half which cost them dearly. The media which they need so much is no longer as influential as it was and they were not able to wield the control over social media platforms because there are too many.
If they stay true to form, they will dismiss the electoral college as racist, they will discount the popular vote, they will try to censor social media aka “disinformation”. They will start to blame the voters for not being smart enough to understand their message and they will attack Trump 24/7 blaming him for everything from earthquakes, rain storms, plane crashes, seasonal flu and flat tires.
I hope it fails again in 26 and 28 but the counter messaging needs to start yesterday.

Simplistic narrative.
Leftists are thoroughly capable of pushing through their murderous agenda and fact is that conservatives barely got through what in retrospect should have been a 75-25 win.
There is a big market for the evil of Leftists and by defining them as somehow unable, their power is seen as deranged....AN IT IS NOT!
withdrawal and regrouping is not a loss of power just a way to make it more effective.
But sloths are so cute. I’m going with “snake”.
We (MAGA America) need to double our efforts.
2026 will be a crucial election, with Democrats working to take the House majority and stop Trump’s agenda.
One sign of trouble is that they are analyzing themselves using animals as analogies.
They refuse to critique their world view at the base of it all.
They’re like peacocks: preening, arrogant, full of themselves and valuing style over substance, how things look over how things are, appearance over ability.
“They go back to the tactics that always worked in the past”
I agree. The Obama/Maoists will persist with the Marxist class warfare playbook and hope that they get a better salesman. That’s all they got. They won’t even retreat from advancing the trans/pedophile agenda.
Strange, I don’t feel troubled.
“Strange, I don’t feel troubled”
Me, either. I’m exhilarated!
they will be forced to give in on men in womens sports eventually, mark my words.
The good news is I hope they continue with their woke DEI crap within their ranks.... They’ll get dumber and dumber and keep going farther left.
That’s a man baby!
