Dems double-down on a playbook they KNOW the voters hate headed into the midterms

Wow: The Democrats who won November’s three big US elections are going for the full Joe Biden playbook — a terrible signal to send for this year’s midterms.

Even the “moderates” are making Trump-bashing the crux of their “platforms” as they pander to the hard left on energy, immigration enforcement and even the economy.

Start with New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill. The supposed “moderate” she took office Tuesday by calling President Donald Trump a tyrant and a lawbreaker.

“Our Declaration denounced tyranny,” she huffed, and Jerseyans “recognize the parallels”; Trump is “illegally usurping power.”

She turned reality on its head to slam federal law enforcers and cover up for anti-ICE goons, claiming on ABC that protesters “have been peaceful, but ICE hasn’t been.”

She theatrically interrupted her inaugural speech to sign two orders to supposedly control energy costs — though one just shifts costs from ratepayers to taxpayers, while the other triples down on the “green power” pursuits that send electric bills soaring in the first place.

Meanwhile, the first act of Virginia’s new gov, Abigail Spanberger, another victorious “moderate,” was to scrap her predecessor’s order for state and local officials to work with ICE; her Democratic colleagues in the legislature got busy passing a long list of tax hikes — with savage gerrymandering and soft-on-crime “justice reform” underway as well.

Attempting to turn ICE into the enemy is just another scam. I don't think it'll work.

democrats are doubling down on the scumbag things you read, see, and hear, they will also double down on the things you don’t, like voter fraud and stealing elections at midterm. democrats want and demand power, and the power to control you, they will achieve it by any means necessary. You have no democrat friends, everyone that votes for any democrat is an enemy of your family, faith, and freedom.

Truly- what are our options? We don’t seem to be a Republic any longer - most of us have no representation in DC. I’m not sure we’re a democracy - it’s more of a kleptocracy by the elected and those who bought them.

Betrayed again! And I can just imagine them saying “so..what are you going to do about it?”.

The easiest and saftest thing to do in politics is to gripe about the opposition. It’s money for nothing, and chicks for free.

There are exactly ZERO democrat moderates. NONE!

You have a better chance of finding Elvis, Jimmy Hoffa or the Easter Bunny.

“..There are exactly ZERO democrat moderates. NONE!...”

Nope....none.
The reason is that they’re outright, anti-American, viceous, violent, godless communists wrapped in a scharade cloaked in what was once the democratic party of old.
Something needs to be done and done soon to confront their overthorw of our country, or the USA as we love and know it, will cease to exist. They’d kill us all in a heartbeat IF and WHEN they get the chance... they’re ruthless enemies of the Republic.
