Victor Davis Hanson: This Isn't the Democratic Party Anymore—It's the Jacobin Party

@JamesCarville and Susan Rice have already noted the plan: pack the court the moment they get back in—no amendment, no Congress. Just do it.

Add D.C. and Puerto Rico for four Senate seats. Kill the Electoral College. Kill the filibuster.

Look at the 1992 and 1996 Democratic platforms under Clinton—secure borders, deportations, teens who commit murder tried as adults, balanced budget. Today, that platform would be called racist and fascist by the very party that ran on it.

Thirty years ago, a Nazi tattoo would have been disqualifying in the Democratic Party. Today, the Party endorsed a Senate candidate in Maine who has worn one for 20 years. Nobody objects. They're incapable of objecting.

This isn't the Democratic Party. It's something completely different—the Jacobin Party. And just like the French Jacobins, it's run by very wealthy people who want to tear everything down and start from year zero.

One, I hope they don’t win.

Two, if they do, I hope they don’t go down this path.

Three, this would trigger some level of violence.....deservedly.

[Blue Highway]

It’s amazing they have no actual power in any of the three branches of government right now, and yet are threatening to do these things and yet people will STILL vote for them. On the flip side, Republicans (yet again) have all three branches of government, and are led around by the nose of the radical leftists about defunding ICE and too timid to stack the courts and abolish the filibuster. It’s like Thune and Johnson are working for the Dems already.

[reasonisfaith]

Let’s see what happens.

IQ scores will be posted outside the classroom in the hall.

[Vision]

Or they could decided to be grateful for being Americans, stop terrorizing it, and enjoy their freedom and bountiful country.

[9YearLurker]

They know the uniparty backs their agenda. They’re just the wing of it that doesn’t have to pretend they want something else.

[Scrambler Bob]

IQ scores will be posted outside the classroom in the hall.
= =

Won’t take much paper or ink.

[neverbluffer]

Hoe exactly will they pack the SC without congress?

[Sarah Barracuda]

So basically they want to destroy America, with this and Jews being targeted by their leftist allies, heck I might have to move to Israel I dont know if it will be safe in America anymore

[TornadoAlley3]

They will not do any of that if we sit on our hands. Thune.

The Electoral College is in the Constitution. Do Rice and Carville think they can just kill it via EO?

[hanamizu]

Killing the filibuster would be fairly easy. Granting Puerto Rico statehood would just require a majority vote in both houses and the President’s approval. Packing the Court is possible but it’s important to remember that even FDR failed at doing it.

Eliminating the Electoral College would require passing an Amendment most importantly getting 3/4ths of the states to ratify.

D.C. statehood has all kinds of Constitutional problems. The 23rd Amendment would have to be repealed as well as the parts of the Constitution that directs that the District be controlled by the Federal government.

The whole point of the District is that the Federal government could not be held hostage by a hostile state government. Reducing the official district to a few Federal buildings won’t work. State police waiting on the sidewalk ready to arrest government officials and employees the now 99% democrat state government doesn’t like.

[plain talk]

“yet are threatening to do these things and yet people will STILL vote for them.”

Some day they may vote to change this country to communism. I hope not. But this indicates the power of allowing illegals into the country and allowing them to vote and the power of leftist indoctrination by all our major institutions.

[hinckley buzzard]

They will get nowhere with Trump still in office to veto everything. And then there will be another election in 2028 which, if they actually try this crap in the meantime, should be a democrat bloodbath. Talk is cheap among the out-of-power kibitzers.

[Nateman]

No need to speculate. That is exactly what they tried after the successful Biden coup in 2020. Two of their own Senators refused to goosestep in formation. They also tried to Nationalize elections, even though the Filibuster was still in effect. Ted Cruz stopped a late night effort at unanimous consent.

The invasion they engineered didn't just let them in, it bribed the World's worst of the worst to fly in!

Anybody who thinks RATs are merely the loyal opposition are fools . They are very much enemies as much as Iran is.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Well they are commies so it really doesnt matter what the law is, they will just do it anyway

[reasonisfaith]

The bloodbath of the 2026 midterms will be a surprise to some.

Because it will favor actual republicans.

[Vesuvian]

Yes, we will write them sternly worded letters....

[Vesuvian]

Once the SC is packed, the new justices will rule that the EO is totally legal, and the Constitution is racist anyway.
