As we enter the 2nd half of 2025 - a quick update:
Democrat Party 2025
1. Support for some of the worst illegals in the country - protesting their removal
2. Violently opposing and obstructing law enforcement from carrying out federal law to arrest some of the worst criminal illegals tied to cartels and the private businesses that they use to traffic minors, drugs, and launder money
3. NOTHING can be cut from the federal government. In fact, the Courts should decide that.
4. Doubling down on trans kids, indoctrinating them, and opposing attempts to stop kids from being mutilated, and to prevent grooming.
5. Support for Hamas and increasing hostility to Israel
6. In freaking out about deportations and tariffs - they’ve ignored the increases in real wages. Americans will do those jobs! Oh and the tariff revenue.
7. Tim Walz employed a man that assassinated a member of the Minnesota legislature - they want to brush this off as a MAGA nutter because of that Papa John’s dude and his USAID work in the Congo on behalf of African immigrants. Oh, and this was off the heels of a radical leftist trying to burn down Josh Shapiro’s residence in PA. But MAGA violence bad.
8. Obama is talking - he wants the government to control speech and the press. This interview occurred after their No Kings protest. The last time this country seriously opposed a king, we created a document that among other inconveniences for the left, ensured free speech and the press. Religion and guns too.
9. They are walking out of Congress during hearings on the physical condition of President Auto Pen. No interest in investigating for the American people who was running the country the last 4 years.
10. But give them credit. They have come up with their equivalent of the Newt Gingrich’s Contract With America - a plan that provides a clear cut alternative to MAGA, and hope for America’s struggling working class.
Here are a few examples of that plan as articulated by some the most prominent members of their party:
We're only halfway thru year 1 of Trump 2.0.
And it is awesome.
