Democratic Party mouthpiece Van Jones recently stated, \u201cWe\u2019re the idiots. We lost. So we have to go back in the locker room and we have to sit down and figure out how in the hell did we get beat.\u201d<\/p>\n
Democratic leadership need not invest too much time figuring that out. The majority of voters did not focus on medical costs for the elderly or investment in infrastructure or reproductive rights. Instead, they saw funding for prison inmates to have sex-change operations. They saw an ever-growing homeless population, safe houses for drug addicts on the taxpayer dollar, and a border situation totally out of control. For many, despite the DOGE chainsaw, despite the blatant antagonism of allies, the voters believed drastic measures needed to be taken. Disaster-in-the-making or not, Americans cried out for action. Well, President Donald Trump has delivered.<\/p>\n
If the Democrats in that locker room can\u2019t figure this out, they might as well stay in there. Game over. Trump has said there won\u2019t be a need to vote next time, and we need to take the man at his word. Barring an unmitigated disaster on the geopolitical playing field, Trump\u2019s youthful cabinet will not be going away anytime soon even if Trump chooses to bow out next election. With a Republican thumb on the Supreme Court, their control of the House and Senate, and efforts to shut down various media outlets, the real loser will not be the Democrats; it will be democracy.<\/p>\n
