Kevin Park's Play of the day:
Trump's Golden Age Of America?
"Why Would Anyone Ever Vote Democrat?"
In the last two blogs I've been discussing the question that my friend Bobby
sincerely asked:
"Why Would Anyone Ever Vote Democrat?"
In the first blog I discussed the two groups that make up today's Democrats.
Dems #1. Sane, Sensible, Moderate and Dems #2. Looney, Left-wing, Radicals.
The latter group falsely refer to themselves as "Socialists."
If you go to their Democratic Socialists of America website, you'll find out
they are "Communists." They want to destroy Capitalism and bring about
"Wealth Redistribution." (What gulag did these "pinko wingnuts" escape from?)

Today let's start to look at possible Answers to Bobby's Question:
"Why Some People Will Vote Democrat"
Reason #1. Dissatisfaction with President Trump and the Republicans
Trump 1.0 was a legitimate Oscar candidate. Like most "sequels"
Trump 2.0 has "stunk the joint out" so far. It has been a series of
catastrophes and former White House staffer Kate Bedingfield predicts:
"Republicans are going to get their clocks cleaned in the midterms!"
I believe Kate is right. President Trump roared in and from the get-go
he started issuing Executive Orders. Many were from the Project 2025 playbook
which he previously denied knowing anything about. His plan included bringing
in Trillionaire Elon Musk, who with a DOGE team, fired 200,000 civil servants.
Trump then abolished the Department of Education and turned most of FEMA
over to States. The borders were aggressively sealed and ICE teams had a target
of capturing 3,000 illegal aliens a day. Supposedly ICE was after the "worst of
the worst" only. But that was a lie. Sadly, masked ICE agents have shot and
killed 4 people in their hardline approaches to their assignment.
In the meanwhile, the President seemed to have forgotten his promise to
bring down prices on housing, food, gasoline, energy, and daily living.
(Walmart shoppers soon felt the bite of his tariffs.)
Instead, his energies were directed at cleaning up crime in Washington D.C.,
ripping down the White House's East Wing, building a huge new Ballroom,
erecting a 250 ft. memorial Arch, fixing a reflecting pool, planning
a Potomac golf course, and preparing a site for his Presidential
Library in Miami. He also salted away over $2 Billion in the first year.
Without consulting Congress, he took control of Venezuela and then
started a "War of Choice" with Iran. After 4 days he announced that
America had already won. Nearly 150 days later that fight is still raging.
Through all of that, the Republicans and his Cabinet sat silently
with their "thumbs up their arses" and were afraid to disagree with him.
They let President Trump act as an:
"Unempathic Emperor who was oblivious to the day-to-day struggles
of his citizens while devoting his energies to prosecuting
perceived enemies and building Vanity Legacy Projects!"
Those Republican Congressmen had to see that many of Trump's
decisions were driving Independents away. They were "cowards" who
were chicken and hardly ever gave the President honest advice. In that
regard, they failed Trump 2.0 which could have done much better. Continued
