Where Goes the Democratic Party

For John, BLUF:  This is a time of uncertainty, as President Trump creates his form of chaos and the Democrats crete their's.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Meet the Man Who Murdered the Democratic Party

From PJ Media, by Author Scott Pinsker, 16 April 2025, 8:06 PM.

Here is the lede plus seven:

A pair of earthshattering, history-altering, Chris Christie-sized stories broke this week, but they’ve (mostly) skated beneath the political periphery.  That’s because you can’t grasp the sheer enormity of the consequences until you connect them together.

On their own, they’re inconsequential, back-of-the-page news stories — scarcely soliciting a shoulder shrug from political wonks.  But together, as a one-two punch, it will change American politics forever.

And it will murder the modern Democratic Party.  There’s been a slow-moving coup… but nobody’s noticed!

It’s tied to the larger political realignment nationally:  Under the MAGA banner, the GOP has evolved into the party of the working man.  The Bush-era days of country club conservatives has come and gone (assuming the club isn’t Mar-a-Lago, of course).  We’ve gone from Wall Street to Main Street.

But the Democratic Party is realigning, too.

Liberals are frothing in furious rage — and not only at Republicans. A record number have lost faith in the Democratic Party.  Its favorability has never been this dismal.  Liberals are begging — pleading — for new leaders and a new direction.  Even in New York, 53% of Democrats want to fire the Democrats’ Senate leader… who is FROM New York.  (Sorry, Chuck Schumer.)  This isn’t normal behavior.

There’s never been a better time for an outsider to seize control.

Our first big story is the Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) whistlestop tour with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).  (In honor of Bernie Sanders, I hereby dub it the B.S. tour.)  Although they’ve been generating headlines for the size of their enormous crowds — even in ruby-red districts — that’s not the most meaningful part.

I agree with Author Scott Pinsker.  I have been saying there is a problem for several weeks.  To quote myself from yesterday:

I am especially worried because i see the Democratic Party rudderless and the danger of radicals rearing up to take leadership.

That was in response to a posting at Actons Create Conosequences, by Dr Cynthia Warson, "consequences & anniversaries".

If the serious Democratd, as opposed t the Progressives, don't provide leadership to the party, we could find our nation devolving into a riots and worse.  Now is hte time for serious Democrats to come to the fore.
