Democrats, Don't Change A Thing. You're Doing Great.

Six months after an election that saw the Democratic Party lose, in chronological order, their incumbent presidential candidate, the United States Senate, and the White House, some statistical analysis has come out, primarily in the New York Times but also in some other polling outfits, that indicate the troubles facing the Democratic Party are getting worse, not better. 

Over the weekend, the Times ran a story looking at electoral trends in this country during the era of Donald Trump, meaning the 2016, 2020, and 2024 election cycles, and it's pretty stunning.

That's not just a one-off move to the right. It is a consistent move to the right over a 12-year period since the re-election of Barack Obama in 2012. 

This looks pretty red, but when you show the same map with all the counties that moved three times to the right in consecutive elections versus one of counties moving leftward all three elections, it's even more graphic. From the article's author, Shane Goldmacher:

Yes, but what about Georgia, you might ask. Georgia, of course, voted for Joe Biden over Donald Trump in 2020. Surely, the Peach State is a fly in the data ointment, right? 

Goldmacher talked to a Georgia voter in research for his story, and here's what that Democratic voter had to say.

That's petty harsh, but not inaccurate. And it's not just data in the New York Times. Although speaking of New York...

This is not exactly what Democrats want to see in one of their fortress states. 

RMG Research, in partnership with Napolitan News, came out with how the two parties did on the following issues. 

Care to hazard a guess on which issues most Americans considered as primary reasons for their vote? Yup, the ones with a red dot next to them. 

So what has happened to the base of the Democratic Party? In short, they've become hyper-left and very elitist. Look at the trend of Democrats from 2014-2024 in this Gallup survey.

Modern-day Democrats are no longer a center-left national party. The fever swamp has taken over. And as for the people with whom they resonate, look at this stat, again from the Goldmacher story in the Times.

The Democrats, intentionally or not, have lost the mantle of representing the working-class. Those voters are now in the Republican camp. 

Now look again at the Times' graph, except this time, instead of arrows, we're using dots. The larger the dot, the larger the movement over the last three cycles. 

Florida and Ohio are gone for the Democrats. Pennsylvania is slipping away rapidly, and check out Nevada. That huge red circle? That's Clark County, where all the people live. If there is a red dot of that size, Nevada's not going to be a swing state for very long. 

So what are Democrats doing to reverse these trends? Absolutely nothing, which pleases me to no end. 

Glenn Ivey, a Congressman whose name sounds like a nudist colony, is more concerned about his constituent, an El Salvadoran national who illegally entered the United States, beat his wife regularly, and ran drugs and other illegals across state lines, rather than the working-class people he's left on the side of the road for Donald Trump and the Republican Party to win over. 

On Memorial Day, while virtually every normal American spent a little time remembering all the brave Americans who paid the ultimate price to defend this country, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson was busy with another holiday.

You would otherwise think this is a conjuration by artificial intelligence, but it's not. He's just that tone deaf, as is my former Congresswoman, Katie 'Batgirl' Porter. The former UCI housing grifter has announced her candidacy for governor of the Golden State, and offered this up over the weekend. 

That's just swell, Katie. Everyone should totally ride a mass transit system that has homeless and God knows what other viral infections looming...unless there's a cheaper, cleaner alternative. 

Katie's way is $25 dollars a day round-trip. Five times a week is $125. A month will cost you almost $600 dollars.

A little south in Los Angeles, the permits to begin rebuilding after the Pacific Palisades are flying out at the speed of sloth. Here's a video allegedly put out by Mayor Karen Bass' office. I say allegedly, because until now, I thought only Kamala Harris and her team were that optically stupid. But I guess not. 

Let's all count together the number of construction projects visible in Bass' video. I see...one. There were, *checks notes*, a lot more than one before the fire came through there.

The first press secretary for former President Joe Biden that lied to you for two years about his physical and mental cognitive abilities, Jen Psaki, is still employed by NBC News. And as a reward for gaslighting Americans, she has her own prime-time show on MSNBC. On it, she featured another proven liar, former FBI director James Comey. The gaslighting on tap for the evening? All the right-wing violence by the white-supremacist-adjacent Republicans.

The actual data? Pretty much exactly the opposite, as your own eyes and ears would already tell you. 

And speaking of Jew hatred on the left, here's what Harvard just did in the last few days. 

Democrats couldn't be themselves without their comrades in the media. On CNN, Sara Sidner did her part to keep the comedy of the Late Norm McDonald longer than the comic himself. 

Once again, the prescience of Norm McDonald.

60 Minutes' Scott Pelley, purportedly a reporter/journalist, gave a commencement speech at Wake Forest to the young men and women the Democratic Party are losing in droves. 

And how on Earth could the Democrats be losing the young vote, especially young males, with money set aside for the SAM outreach program? 

Steve Buscemi ought to sue for intellectual property theft. 

So what happens if the Democrats do defy the trends, the polling, and constantly staking out the 20% ground of 80-20 issues cutting against them and win in 2026? 

Why, investigate and impeach Trump, of course. 

Don't change a thing, Democrats. Leave poor David Hogg alone. Keep giving a microphone to Hillary Clinton so she can talk about handmaidens of the patriarchy. By all means, have Chuck Schumer continue to blame a Mexican ship that lost power on Donald Trump and DOGE. Keep putting Nancy Pelosi on television to claim how she's always been for the children, that is, the ones that don't get aborted. Feature Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Jasmine Crockett as much as you can. 

You're doing great. I'm sure you'll return to power before you know it.
