"The Democratic Party is going through a massive set of internal crises. You have a party that got trapped two ways," he said. "One, defending a broken status quo that nobody likes because they thought that Donald Trump was going to make it worse. *** And then offending most people in the country, calling everybody sexist and racist and transphobic and every other name, and then saying, 'please follow us.' That's not a good strategy, folks. Defending a broken status quo and offending most of the country, turns out, is not as popular as my party thought it was going to be. And so it's going to take a while for people to get it figured out."

In the meantime D's seemingly only have TDS rants like the one from Sullivan. Hint to our friends on the left: come up with an actual alternative to Trump, just don't rail against him, telling us how crazy he is. You already told us he was an existential threat, a Nazi, etc. Try some actual POLICY stuff (not messaging about policy) that matters to every day people. Here is an example: acknowledge the USAID crap about Trans programs all over the world was an overreach. Lean into equality (not equity)...for example, there is a reasonable argument for overturning the DOD policy against Trans service members because - according to Hegseth - people should be judged on their merits. That's substantively different from funding Guatemalan pronoun advocacy in the Brazilian rain forest

One of the only world leaders in 3 years talking (and working for) peace while the war merchant's try to smear him, and his predecessor's son (and family) made Millions in graft.

Rich.

You thought that Trump was "working for peace" in that debacle in the Oval Office with Zelensky?
There was ZERO diplomacy by Trump and JD Vance.
Just a bully and his attack dog.

That was right out of an episode from The Apprentice where a contestant got ambushed.

You're easily duped.

TDS.

Ever notice it is mostly the left getting angry?

I’m angry this morning.

I feel like I’ve just woken up from a dream where everything I thought I knew about good and evil has been flipped upside down.

Where the good guys were the ones I was told by a liberal media to hate.

And the bad guys… well, it was me.

I judged you…

I'm angry this morning.

I feel like I've just woken up from a dream where everything I thought I knew about good and evil has been flipped upside down.

Where the good guys were the ones I was told by a liberal media to hate.

And the bad guys… well, it was me.

I judged you and didn't do any research to learn if I was right or wrong.

I thought I was better than you and I never even met you.

I thought you should be censored because your thoughts were dangerous.

I was polite in public, but I secretly hated you.

I knew deep down that being "good" was more than just using the right pronouns for someone or saying to a group of people you thought Trump was a bad person…

But it's easier to do that than it is to actually DO good.

I think for me, that's the #1 thing most people on the right, don't understand about the left.

On the left, being "good" requires only a checklist of beliefs. If you say you believe in the right things, you are left alone, you pass their test... and are now considered a good person.

It has almost nothing to do with your outward actions.

In a normal world, actions = accountability.

If you do something wrong, I can lovingly correct you, we can argue, we can grow and learn together.

On the left, this dialogue is almost nonexistent.

You either say the right thing or you are biggot, racist, unkind, totally backwards, and on the wrong side of history.

This does not generate growth in a person, it actually generates a bizarre form of morality in which saying the "acceptable things" creates a fictional, moral-forcefield around you.

Dialogue is lost. Dissenters are not tolerated.

Saying things is easy. Doing real good in the world... well, that's really hard.

So, you take the easy path.

This is how many people, who truly mean well, who want to do the right thing, end up caught in an endless loop of ever-increasing posturing and wokeness.

It started from a place of tolerance and kindness, then the goalposts for kindness move and you are left behind.

Wow look at this. It is the left who murders and suicides people. When they can't win with lawfare they get out their guns:..

This is pure evil. AOC and Jasmine Crockett have blood on their hands. Actions have consequences and we cannot tolerate politicians inciting political violence! https://t.co/qgfKeRFw7z

🚨 BREAKING: The HALT Fentanyl Act has just passed the Senate.

The bill permanently places all versions of fentanyl on the DEA's list of most dangerous drugs, "Schedule 1." A huge blow to traffickers once signed by Trump.
