The Democratic Party is polling about 31 percent approval, a near-historic low.
Despite enjoying a huge lead in fundraising, legacy media favoritism, and incumbency, in the 2024 election, Democrats lost the White House to Donald Trump. Ever since, they have offered nothing new, no novel agenda, no innovative policies—nothing other than screaming that they are loudly against everything and anything that the president is for.
In the past, what did they accomplish by following their prior two impeachments with attempts to de-ballot Trump? Who thought sending an FBI swat team to raid Trump’s home or waging five lawfare civil and criminal suits and issuing 91 felony indictments against him would win over the public?
Was conducting a media barrage of Hitler-Trump invectives, or lowering the bar of demonization that likely led to two assassination attempts of Trump a good way to win an election?
Apparently not, given the Democrats have now lost the presidency, the House, and the Senate. The Supreme Court is conservative. They have no power to subpoena anyone; they cannot block any nomination. Much of their old administrative state control is eroding. All the main issues—the economy, energy, border security, illegal immigration, crime, DEI/woke, and foreign policy—poll against the Democrats. The more they shouted that biological men must be able to compete as transgendered females in women’s sports, the more that 80% of the public disagreed, women were turned off, and the absurd idea was exploded by Trump.
The power of the administrative state, the legacy network news, print media, and Silicon Valley’s social media and search engines, the billions that poured into the Biden and Harris campaign all went for naught.

Given that collective meltdown, what would a sane Democratic Party do?
If they were stable, then they might renounce political suicide and perhaps return to something akin to the Clinton efforts of 1992 and 1996. Then the once self-destructive Democrats finally gave up on disastrous out-of-touch McGovernism, Carterism, an Dukakism. Instead, they began to embrace legal-only immigration, secure borders, balanced budgets, support for law enforcement, and meritocracy.
The result?
After twelve years in the wilderness (1980-1992), the Democrats regained power for the next 16 of 24 years—only in the second term of Barack Obama to go full radical Jacobin and soon lose it. ...
What the Democrats don’t realize is that they staged a French-style cultural, political, and economic revolution and tried to destroy their enemies by weaponizing government and the media—and they have now lost.

“Democrat” party.
Luv VDH, but come on man
The day before yesterday, there was a segment on CNN with Scott Jennings (why he stays there I do not know) in which he said the Democrat party takes a 80/20 issue and parks themselves firmly and loudly on the 20% side.
Eighty percent of the voters will support a position (such as on illegal immigration) and the Dems will take the twenty-percent’s view and loudly insist that is what the people want.
It’s a little bit of an exaggeration, but I think he is right. Insisting that the voters support waste and fraud in government and want to send their tax dollars overseas to support trans-GIBLETS is a losing position. At this point, Democrats will have to depend on fraud (again) to win in the 2026 mid-terms. Hopefully, Trump and his team will have completely shut down that avenue by the end of this year.
Dems polling at 30% approval.

“Hopefully, Trump and his team will have completely shut down that avenue by the end of this year.”
I think that the democrats will have real trouble funding their corrupt election fixing machine without USAID gravy train funding their NGO scams.
Found this -
An immigrant group behind a major lawsuit challenging President Donald Trump’s executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship receives millions of dollars in government funding annually, a Washington Examiner analysis of public records has found.
One think hat such a luminary as VDH on politics would know (insist) on using Democrat instead of Democratic. It’s the Democrat Party, not the Democratic Party
AMEN!
I wish that President Trump would issue an Executive Order to make Executive Branch people use the proper term for the Democrat (not DemocratIC) Party in all communications.
Never underestimate the short memory, or short attention span of people.
Some of purposely use Democratic to mock the Democrats for using it. I realize it is hard to tell. Just call me an idiot please and let me have my fun. Thanks.
They have no qualms about doing so, because their goal is to vastly reduce the population of the entire globe, who are no longer really needed with with automated slaves, robots, can do what is needed, as they see it.
These people are pure evil, plain & simple.
.
Look up any official resource you can find. It’s the Democratic Party.
I call them the Democrat party—not because the name is technically correct—but because they are viciously undemocratic.
See my tagline.
Democrats don’t need to appeal to real, live people.
They have 30 million bogus voters on the rolls.
Unless President Trump is able to somehow clean up the voter rolls and institute paper ballot voting democrats will steal enough elections in 2026 to retake congress.
To do that he will have to fight many spineless, corrupt republicans as well as every democrat in Washington and state legislatures along with every Deep State judge from coast to coast.
Thoroughly hogg tied. Deliverance crazy
Democrat party = Deep State PSY OP.
C.I.A. creations like Obama.
Completely corruptocrats like Biden installed as POTUS.
Now we find out communist media complex was propped up with U.S. tax dollars - NYT, Politico. Reuters, AP - and the “Soros DAs” funded by taxpayers as well via Tides Foundation money (40+ million).
So it’s propaganda USAID funded.
One audit of just seven states (story here last week or so) found 1.5 million+ more voters than on the voter roles.
Need to AUDIT OR ELECTION SYSTEM.
We’ve been ruled by a corrupt minority cabal of leftists and Deep State stooges.
There is no “real” Democrat party and the Bush Republican wing was also a Deep State tool. Two parties that were the distraction for the peons run by the oligarchy.
The just end of the Demonicrat Party should be on the gallows.
