The Democrats know they really should be killing Republicans in the polls right now, except they aren’t for reasons they seem unable to fully understand. I don’t mean that as an insult of their intelligence. It’s probably closer to the opposite actually. It takes a lot of brain power to create the kind of insulated partisan bubble that many progressive live in these days.
Pamela Paul has a new column for the Times in which she explores the ideas of John Judis and Ruy Teixeira, authors of a new book titled “Where Have All the Democrats Gone?” The gist is that Democrats just aren’t as appealing as they think they are.

Dems should be killing Republicans in the polls by now??? Say what? Because their great Afghanistan withdrawal, inflation, the trashy non bidenomics from hell, a doddering shuffling arrogant, callous, crude, crass half brain that is residing in the WH? Hannity showed last night a fragment of the vegetable standing in front of an audience mumbling to himself, not talking at all, starting a sentence not finishing it and everyone just stared at this white figure who cannot figure out his own brain.... all of that is supposed to be killing Republicans in the polls by now? What planet am I living on?

Border, crime, inflation, national security, sexualization of children and the complete breakdown of the educational system. And FJB brain has more holes in it than a pound block of good Swiss cheese. (No need to even discuss Kamala.) There's more but it isn't that hard to figure out. But then again we are talking about dems. AOC comes to mind.

The line "It takes a lot of brain power to create the kind of insulated partisan bubble that many progressive live in these days" caused my brain to recall a video clip I saw a few days ago.
The video narrative goes something like this:
"Democrats say that blacks cannot be racist because they are a minority.
I say that racism is an attitude, a state of mind, and being a minority or majority has nothing to do with it.
According to the Democrat's reasoning, if the leader of the Ku Klux Klan were to be dropped off in Beijing, China, he would no longer be a racist because he would be in a minority.
It takes a lot .... about $60,000 dollars worth..... of tuition to be spent to arrive at a conclusion like that."
On the current Democ'Rat administration, it seems to me that if they were to do everything that they could, in every facet of American government and American society, to weaken, demoralize, and destroy America..... they would do EXACTLY what they are actually doing.
Everything they touch is a disaster.
This CANNOT be from incompetence. If they were that stupid and incompetent, they would get SOMETHING right, somewhere, just out of statistical probability.
But no, EVERYTHIING they touch is as Disaster.
Finance, Culture, Border, Crime, Drugs, Foreign Policy. (and that's just a START!) All disasters.
This HAS to be on purpose.
The Democ'Rats are not Stupid. They are EVIL.
The Democ'Rats are

Obamacare kicked people off good policies as many has it has insured. It turned out to be a tax that many people, mainly young people, are forced to pay with limited near useless coverage. Bidenomics is a joke and the uptick in jobs they described has been mainly due to people returning to work from the Democrat forced Covid shutdown. Inflation is ridiculous. The list goes on. Defunding the police has ruined cities and illegal immigrants are a drain on this country and services no purpose but to try to get future democrat votes.They have to rely on such tactics because their policies suck. Also too many up and coming young Democrats have failed at their leadership roles. The only thing that comes from Democrats is Trump hatred and never good policies worth supporting, They are confused because they believe what the almighty DNC oz tells them to believe. They don't understand because they live in a fantasy world where decisions are solely made with emotions. They live in an alternate universe. Wake up snowflakes!

The democrat party is totally corrupt. Totally. It is a dangerous cancer on this country. It'll be our ruin if it is able to continue.

There's not one single competent person in Biden's administration because the focus is on diversity rather than intelligence and ability! It's deliberate and has diminished the respect other nations have for our once great Republic. Call it trickle down incompetence or whatever but we see it full blown in all cities run by Democrats as well. All our nation has become is a gravy-train for foreign aid Biden and his goons gladly hand out while their minions are profiting through massive fraud. Like they say- just follow the money even though the Biden's think that have perfected a fail proof system through their LLC network.

The non-left has been so completely demonized that the garden variety democrat will accept open borders a tanking economy, committing their grandchildren to paying for foreign wars just to keep the evil MAGA crowd and their pesky constitution out of government.

Excellent article. Be sure to read the highlighted texts from Progressives and see where their collective heads are.
