Since the November presidential election, the self-destruction of the Democrat Party has been amazing (and fun) to watch. Never has there been a group of people so unable and unwilling to read the room and listen to what the American people told them they want, and what they don't want. It truly is the textbook definition of insanity. As the 2026 midterm elections creep closer, you might think that Democrat Party bigwigs would be huddled in a room at DNC headquarters, trying to figure out a way to actually win elections, even though we hope they are not. And it appears that our hope may be coming true.
The DNC is a clown factory: Frey, Walz, Psaki, Harris… all stamped out on the same assembly line of incompetence, arrogance, and anti-American nonsense.

On Tuesday, DNC Chair Ken Martin appeared on former DNC Chair Jamie Harrison's podcast, "At Our Table." His argument: Democrats are "following the guardrails of democracy," but Republicans are not. Martin stated:
"When we get into power next time, we damn well better make sure that D.C. is a state, that Puerto Rico is a state, that we eliminate the filibuster rule, right? We get rid of all these antiquated rules that sure in the past made sense, but right now, with what we're dealing with in this country, and we have a fascist regime, trying to destroy our democracy, we cannot abide by those rules anymore. We can't be the only party with one hand tied behind our back." When we get in power – and we will get in power – we're going to win in ’26, we're going to win in ’25, and when we are in power we don't play by that antiquated playbook anymore. We go in there and do exactly what we want and what we said we were going to do to fight for people."
That whole "We follow the rules and you don't" thing might be a tough sell, given the fact that you threw open the southern border to let millions of illegal immigrants into the country in the hope that they would become future Democrat voters. Republicans can also abandon the notion that Democrats and the left are going to give up the fascist and Nazi name-calling anytime soon, especially when it is coming from the top. The thing is, when you have called the other side fascists and Nazis enough times so that you and everyone on your side actually believe it, it makes it much easier to justify blowing off the rules yourself.
We are better than the DNC crime family...

The best way to get revenge, is to vote every DNC member out office. Make their worst nightmare come true. Take away their powers and financial support.
Martin also told Harrison that he is encouraging Democrats to fight, saying:
"If we are not willing to fight when everything we stand for in this country is under assault, then everything is at stake. If we don't win in ’26 and we give this fascist regime an unimpeded path of power for the next four years, everything we value, everything we care about, will be lost. And it's not me being hyperbolic."

But what exactly does "fight" mean? The reality is that Democrats really do have to fight for everything they stand for, and it is under assault. The reason for that is that none of what they are "fighting" for is what average Americans want. What Democrats are fighting for is an unfettered invasion of illegal immigrants and their support at the taxpayers' expense, the climate change hoax, and all the money-making scams that go along with it, men in women's sports, and massive regulations and mandates that invade every aspect of Americans' lives. It is the monumental disconnect between Democrats and the American people that they just don't get, and it has earned them a 33 percent approval rating.
Martin also stated:
"You and I are used to saying this is the most important election of your lifetime, but I can't think of an election I've ever been involved with where the stakes are higher than the 2026 elections. So if we're not going to do everything we can to win right now, what the hell are we doing?"
When Democrats talk about doing "everything we can to win," Republicans had better pay attention, because they absolutely will.
You’re giving DNC consultants too much credit.

The moderate center of the party you imagine doesn’t exist anymore. There’s no one trying to bring them back to sanity. It’s a smoking hole of a party. https://t.co/RcA81NWPnl
