Democrats in the Wilderness

Whitson G. Waldo, III

"The Democrat party appears determined to spend the next 40 years wandering in the wilderness. There have been no fruitful reflections leading to productive responses to the drubbing Democrats took in the 2024 national elections. The few Cassandras who think some change in course is required are considered by Democrat elitists to be dinosaurs worthy of disdain.

"Progressivism has gone down its endless path far enough so that the worldview is post-reality. Progressivism has long since left classical liberalism in the rear-view mirror. Many of their policies today (e.g. killing pre-born babies, protecting criminal illegal aliens, facilitating fentanyl supply with open borders, inflicting irreversible reproductive damage on minors, disregard of monetary inflation that ravages the poor and middle class) are downright evil. As such, it is incompatible with common sense and antithetical to normality. Progressives cannot embrace western civilization, much less explicitly celebrate the Christian worldview.

"Obama has been the power behind the curtain running the DNC since he was President. As a result, progressive fascists occupy all important positions. The party cannot turn back. This means Democrats openly espousing their party’s positions will be less and less popular in the polls. Elections likely will become even more polarized with national polls trending Red as voters awaken.

"Message refinement, lying, dissembling, distortion, misrepresentation, and projection are the recourses open to Democrats. Having sparse rational arguments for their policies, ad hominem attacks will continue with emotional appeals. Democrats will represent themselves as angels of light, but they are deceivers. Once in power, they will revert to form and turn hard Left.

"To continue legislative successes, any successor to Trump must continue putting American interests first. The working-class poor and middle class must be protected from monetary inflation by requiring balanced budgets (with an exception for congressionally declared war). A much smaller government is required. Finally, there must be greater respect for our Bill of Rights to prevent government trampling again." . . .
