Like I have a potty mouth, especially when I’m mad.
Representative Jasmine Crockett
Perhaps you've noticed that the United States no longer has a two-party political system.
The Republicans are alive and kicking, propelled by an energetic septugenarian president. The Democrats, however, have devolved into "the Resistance."
As demonstrated by today's government shutdown, the Dems no longer see a need to compromise on significant policy issues. Their congressional leaders are content to engage in bombastic, profanity-laced rhetoric and embarrassing public spectacles, like Representative Al Green's tantrum during President Trump's congressional address earlier this year.
At the local level, Democratic-run cities are unable to keep crime in check, operate functional schools, or control illegal immigration. They care more about transgender sports than children's reading proficiency.
The Democrats' elites realize that they have no hope of winning the next presidential election. The swing states are shifting red, and voter registration patterns favor the Republicans. California Governor Gavin Newsom has a better chance of becoming the Pope than being sworn in as the next POTUS. As for Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, he comes off to most voters as a real-life Jabba the Hutt.
The Democrats' new strategy is to sabotage American culture and undermine democratic values from their sinecures in blue states, blue cities, and safely blue congressional districts. Their party leaders--Chuck Schumer, Adam Schiff, Bernie Sanders, AOC, Jasmine Crockett, the Squad--seem to think their jobs are simply to be obnoxious.
However, the Democrats have one last chance to regain relevance. If they pour millions of dollars into key congressional districts during the 2026 election season, they may be able to recover the majority in the House of Representatives.
If the Democrats regain control of the House, they'll pass an impeachment resolution to oust Trump. Of course, the Senate will never vote to impeach him, but the histrionics around an impeachment effort will give Democratic politicians media visibility.
Even if the Democrats recapture the House of Representatives, they are done as a viable political party. Americans in the Heartland are sick of them, and there are enough voters in Flyover Country to consign the Democratic Party to the dustbin of history.
