Democrats need to find a mission other than showing a hatred for Trump
Editor:
In the aftermath of the President’s speech to Congress, my reflections have brought me to accept certain unsavory truths. Left wing liberal Democrats have a pathological hatred of Trump.
It doesn’t matter what the issue is or if the American people support what he’s doing. One of Trump’s most poignant remarks substantiated this when he stated that even if he cures devastating diseases, he would not warrant their approval. They are totally combative to him. At this point in time it seems inconceivable that the Democrats will admit that Trump has done any good for our nation.
The Democrats are still licking their wounds from the November loss and following James Carville’s advice to play dead.
The walking dead manifested themselves, like true zombies, during that speech. A new low. Except for Al Green of Texas who made a fool of himself and sacrificed his dignity to disrupt and create bedlam. Did he really think he would awaken the zombies in attendance?
Then the “This is Not Normal” sign. You know what isn’t normal – the Democrats had a chance during the Biden presidency to do something about corrupt capitalism but instead sidetracked that to focus on the grievances of extreme liberals, illegal immigrants and gender diversity.
Now that Musk is trying to reduce our national debt, which is unsustainable, and advocate for transparency, they are all up in arms – targeting him as the bad guy. Normal business practice where first and second line supervision are continually under pressure to cut heads has always been the law of the land.
When Musk asked employees to list the 5 things they accomplished in the past week, everybody went nuts. Many huge corporations have done this for years on a timely basis. GM started this in the 1970’s calling them Monthly Highlights – a very common practice.
If you didn’t turn them in, you didn’t get your paycheck. When I taught, my lesson plans had to be done weekly, and if I was out sick, my alternate plans for the sub were ready to execute.
The Democrats have become impotent and that in turn has prevented them from doing the right thing. That is NOT normal!
The ridiculous “bingo signs” ( Symone Sanders Townsend and Michael Steele of MSNBC) reminded me once again of their failures and difficulties as a political party to face the facts. They really never achieved their break through moment and are trying to redefine their identity. However this identity crisis has prevented them from creating a platform that extends beyond their antagonism to Trump.
Their refusal to not even applaud DJ Daniel a boy diagnosed with brain cancer, or Jason Hartley who had just gained admission to West Point illustrated their stubborn refusal to open their minds. A disgrace!
Marc Fogel, an American school teacher, arrested in 2021 by Russia; sitting in the audience with his 95 year old mother – and the zombies didn’t flinch to acknowledge his release.
When hatred is this intense, one seldom welcomes varying views, belief systems and behavior. It becomes intolerant and is an overt act of discrimination. The unity of humanity is corroded and breaks down.
Instead of listening to James Carville, the Democrats better wake up and redefine who they are, to align their party’s purpose with the goals, safety, prosperity and solidarity of the populace.
