‘Death Spiral’: Gutfeld Says Dems Are ‘Paralyzed’ By ‘Activist Trauma’ And ‘Sunk Cost’ Of ‘Terrible Policies’

Fox News host Greg Gutfeld said Friday evening that Democrats are “paralyzed” by their “activist trauma” and the “sunk cost” of “terrible policies,” which could continue to result in them having no control.

Since President Donald Trump’s election win, Democrats have struggled to gain control of a unified message for their party, with some concerned about further pushing progressive policies. Gutfeld, on “The Five,” discussed what he called the Democrats’ lack of authenticity with voters. He highlighted a recent TikTok trend that some lawmakers attempted to jump on. Gutfeld cast doubt on the “four categories” of Democrats gathering together to help win in the midterm and general elections.

“I mean, if the Democrats are facing a fork in the road, it probably belongs to Governor Pritzker. I don’t think there’s four categories. I think there are only two, pragmatists and losers,” Gutfeld said. “The pragmatists, which are like Harold , these are people who realize that you got to change or you’re going to die. The losers are the people who prefer to die rather than change, but they’re operating in an illusion where they think they’re winning.”

“They think that their activist drama still exerts control or power over the American people when, in fact, it’s only a tiny group of activists. They’re basically, they’ve got guns and they’re shooting blanks. Nobody buys it,” Gutfeld added. “ actually makes their adversaries, Republicans or Trump, look better by acting the way they do. They’re also paralyzed by the sunk cost of all these years, pushing terrible policies. You don’t want to let it go because you put so much into it.”

Democrats faced backlash online from conservatives Thursday after posting a video in which Democrat Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Jasmine Crockett, Lauren Underwood, Katherine Clark, Judy Chu and Susie Lee could be seen jumping up and down in a fighter stance mimicking video game characters, which was previously a TikTok trend.
