After years of breathtaking incompetence and failure under Joe Biden, Donald Trump decided once again to put his very comfortable private life on hold and embark on an unprecedented rescue mission to save America. And as President Trump campaigned for re-election, he was hounded by four bogus indictments from weaponized prosecutors seeking to jail him, as his political enemies simultaneously tried to bankrupt him and remove him from the ballot.
Democrat politicians, the biased liberal media, activist judge, and deep pocketed leftist think tanks relished in throwing everything they could muster at the man. Then, the American people got involved and made it clear who makes the decisions in our constitutional republic.
On Nov. 5 voters rejected the vile actions of the radical left and propelled Trump back to the White House with a clear mandate to govern. Trump’s amazing, against all odds victory created hope for America’s future just when we needed it most.
As a result, the Democrat Party and the entire entrenched power structure on the left are collapsing before our eyes. Here are five examples suggesting the end of the radical left is near.
The Talent Problem. As President Trump delivered his game-changing first address to Congress since his inauguration, it was impossible to miss the rows of joyless left-wing politicians sitting in the chamber of the U.S. House of Representatives. After watching the spectacle unfold, the main takeaway was that the Democrat Party has absolutely no “bench” to speak of.
There are no leaders on the left who possess the “right stuff” necessary to win future presidential elections, such as authenticity, credibility, and electability. So, there’s a good reason Trump is dominating and the crazed resistance is falling flat: there’s no messenger; and perhaps just as importantly, there’s no compelling message either.
The America First Problem. Today’s Democrats have both a patriotism problem and an America problem. Their shameful antics during President Trump’s big speech before Congress were seen by millions and showed a broken party incapable of even cheering for the best citizens among us who deserve praise.
Democrat politicians are so adrift, so Trump-deranged, so out of touch, they refused to applaud for a 13-year-old cancer survivor, the safe return of a hostage, a young man accepted to West Point, the family of the heroic Corey Comperatore, the grieving widow of a slain police officer, or the family of Laken Riley. This is sick behavior; and evidence of a party that is very ill – perhaps even on its deathbed.
Let’s face it, if you no longer have the decency or compassion to even support your own countrymen, it might just be time for some soul-searching.
The Broken Status Quo Problem. The Democrats have no answer to President Trump’s common-sense America first reform agenda. In the face of a $36 trillion-dollar national debt, the response from the left has been to attack President Trump, Elon Musk, and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) for having the audacity to cut wasteful spending and shrink the size and scope of government.
Similarly, Democrats’ response to Trump’s border security policies, is only to double down by attempting to thwart criminal deportations and side with illegal immigrants and sanctuary cities instead of American citizens. Yet another tone-deaf position that makes America far less safe.
The Democrats are also refusing to help reform our broken education system, lower energy costs or end the war in Ukraine. Taking up the mantle of the broken status quo — low test scores, high prices and forever wars — is a recipe for disaster.
The Radicalization Problem. Liberalism — and socialism for that matter – has always been about expanding the central government, higher taxes, more spending and less liberty. And in 2025, there’s really no appetite for it in the United States of America.
This is a bitter pill to swallow for leftists, but it must be acknowledged, or the Democrat Party will continue to fail. It was the late British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher who said, “the problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.”
Well, with an unsustainable national debt and annual budget deficits stretching as far as the eye can see, America is out of money and on a glidepath to bankruptcy unless the Trump-Musk spending reforms become codified into law.
The Weakness Problem. In order to change — or moderate — Democrats must stand up to their radical base and their stable of deep pocketed anti-American benefactors.
In the first two months of the Trump administration, they appear too weak-kneed to acknowledge this. If anything, career Democrat politicians are digging in on dangerous and rejected policies such as Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and Critical Race Theory (CRT).
Today’s Democrat Party can’t even change direction on the crystal-clear issue of banning men from competing in women’s sports. Politics is a numbers game, and if you hang your hat on opposing “80-20” issues it doesn’t take a genius to know where you’ll end up as a party.
Going woke means going broke, but Democrats are refusing to listen to the American people. Arrogance like this will get you a one-way ticket to the ash heap of history.
After the fake impeachment investigations, after the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax, after weaponizing the justice system, and after all the inflammatory rhetoric paved the way to two assassinations attempts, the Democrat Party is floundering badly.
Thanks to President Donald Trump, their corruption, deception and failed policies of the past are finally being exposed for all the world to see.
