What could possibly go wrong for the party of blue-haired, angry Marxists? They know they’re right. They know they’re righteous. They know their opponents are evil, racist fascists. So what if they’ve lost an election or two? They’re on the side of history, you benighted fools! To change course now would be to jump to the wrong side of history, and history hates when you do that! And so the Democrats have decided, after the American electorate decisively rejected the noxious stew they’re selling, to serve up more of the same.
Politico reported Friday that the Democratic National Committee held a major meeting not long after the Convicted Felon, the Emmanuel Goldstein of 2015-2025 (and counting), the focus of evil in the modern world, Orange Man Bad himself, took office again. The ostensible reason for the meeting was to vet candidates for the DNC leadership position, but it was really an opportunity for Democrat top dogs to do some soul-searching and decide which way their party would turn next.
The Democrat Party, whatever else it was, used to be adaptable to circumstances. In 1968, it went down to defeat with presidential candidate Hubert Humphrey, who supported the war in Vietnam. As the war grew increasingly unpopular, the Democrats moved farther to the left (which is always easy for them) and nominated the antiwar Sen. George McGovern in 1972. When McGovern’s far-left candidacy went down in flames, the party moved back toward the center by going with southern Democrat Jimmy Carter in 1976.
All that, however, was a long, long time ago. Now the party of Andrew Jackson and FDR is in the grip of hardline leftist ideologues who seem to care more about adherence to the far-left line than about electoral viability. All the party’s old ability to adapt has been lost; to change course now would apparently make one a class traitor, or a racist, or a fascist, or whatever the left’s favorite term for those it fears and hates is these days.
Even Politico’s Holly Otterbein was disgusted, stating with startling frankness that the Democrats have become a parody of themselves, likening a moment early in the meeting when one DNC leadership candidate broke into song to “a scene from ‘Portlandia,’ a comedy satirizing ultra-liberals (pictured above) — and it was a punchline that was clipped and replayed across social media in the days ahead. Things only got more surreal, and viral, from there.” […]
