I also disagree that the kids won't remember.
I think it will be a permanent memory of how violent Democrats are.
After last summer’s hand-wringing, corporate media ixnayed the eggativenay articles about the collapse of the “Democrat brand” and took a Fall vacation, leaning instead into the focus group-approved theme of “affordability” to crush Republican midterm hopes. Yesterday, like a dog going back to its vomit, the Times returned to its frustrated theme. The political analysis article was headlined, “What Voters Told Democrats About ICE, Costs and Which Party Is ‘Judgy.’” The sub-headline was more informative: “In focus groups, swing voters gave Democratic politicians some tough feedback on the party.”
The story, which quoted only young, moderate Democrat officials, exuded a distinct impression that the Times is trying to slam the brakes on the progressive purity spiral. Representative “Sarah” McBride (D-Del.) (the first ‘trans’ congressman) reported that a November town hall revealed, “They want us to be fighters, but they don’t want us to be judgy.” McBride explained that calling everybody a bigot “left a lot of voters believing that we did not like them.” ...
The obvious theme was moderation. Late in the article, almost offhand, the reporter offered an observation that pretty much summed up the problem: “When it comes to a grand, policy-specific vision of the future, Democrats don’t exactly have a plan.” That’s half right. Their problem is not that they don’t have any plans. They have lots of plans. The problem is they can’t say out loud what their plans are, because around 70% of people would instantly hate them.
And until Democrats can answer the simple question, “what is a woman?”, they’ll be stuck conducting focus groups until the cows come home. Focus grouping is weakness when it asks what do they want us to say? Strength is asking, how do we make our plan more persuasive? That’s where ‘affordability’ breaks down. They have a word— but no plan to address the problem the word represents.
Unless they get their act together, we can expect more Democrat angst as primary season proceeds.
What's Donnie's plan to address "affordability"? Lower rates?

This is how 99% of Trump voters actually feel about ICE and deportations:
- ICE has shown too much restraint with these terrorists.
- Spare no expense to enforce the law.
- Great start, but kick deportations into high gear.
- They all have to go back, no carve-outs for illegals at MTG’s construction company.
- Denaturalize and deport many of the legal troublemakers too.
I would never vote for any party that uses the word “judgy”.
2026 record youth turnout for a midterm. Mark my words. And will vote overwhelmingly for Republicans.
