Let’s stop lying to ourselves, Democrats aren’t losing to Trump because he’s some political genius. We’re losing because our party has gone soft, addicted to symbolism and afraid of its own shadow.
Somewhere along the line, Democrats traded FDR’s “New Deal” for transgender furry conventions. Real Democrat voters don’t care about the latest problem with transgender athletes, they care about the environment, Safety, Education. If we keep letting the loudest corners of the internet dictate our agenda, we’re finished.
Every time Republicans dangle bait pronouns, cancel culture, woke this, woke that Democrats walk right into it. Newsflash most Americans aren’t looking for the Pronoun Police. They want a government that actually delivers results. JFK didn’t win hearts by lecturing people, he won them by making people believe he would fix real issues. We’ve got to learn the difference.
The GOP has branded itself as the party of strength, even while bowing to Trump like a cult. Democrats, meanwhile, look timid. That has to die, literally die. Being tough doesn’t mean becoming Republicans lite it means standing on business and refusing to apologize for it.
If Democrats want to win again, they need to grow a backbone, ditch the performative politics, and speak up for whats important.
