In the course of American history, political parties have lived and died. The Democratic-Republicans, the Federalists, and the Whigs all eventually wore out their usefulness for those who kept them alive, and they were abandoned. But in modern history, there has never been quite the crumbling of a once strong and viable political party as we are witnessing now with the modern-day Democrats, especially as they are seemingly willing to fight to the death for illegal immigrants and criminals. As Republicans watch in amazement, they tend to chalk it all up to a grand collective psychotic event. But what if it is way simpler than that?
Remember when democrats backed a D.C law to REDUCE the max penalties for crimes such as murder, home invasion, armedcarjacking,

Now tell me again how the Democrats don't support criminals. pic.twitter.com/v65k5pdZ7G
The answer may be simple, but it is threefold. The elements combine to produce a toxic mixture. The first element is their obvious desperation. Like everyone else, they see the poll numbers, and they are not good. Currently, the Democrat party approval rating is hovering around 33 percent. Since the 2024 presidential election, several state legislators have exited the Democrat party. One of those is Kentucky State Sen. Robin Webb, who may have spoken for many others who have already or are thinking of leaving the party, when she said, "While it's cliché, it's true: I didn't leave the party—the party left me." Bottom line: Democrats need bodies (notice I didn't say "warm bodies'); they need butts in the seats.

We now know that Plan A for Democrats was to throw open the southern border and just import the new crop of assumed future Democrat voters they needed. It seemed easy enough. But now Donald Trump is deporting that new crop of voters. What do they do now? Who else might be a likely group to jump at the offer to be "helped" by Democrats? That would be criminals, or as the left likes to call them, "justice system-involved persons." Democrats are banking on the fact that if they throw criminals enough get out of jail free cards, those folks will suddenly become civically-minded and flock to the polls to vote for Democrats. It also explains the soft-on-crime stance in many blue cities and states. Theoretically, felons cannot vote (although we know it happens). If you don't create felons, you still have voters.
But that desperation, which has led Democrats to be on the side of lawbreakers, has revealed something else. Republicans often talk about Democrats being obsessed with power, getting it, and keeping it. It is no longer just an obsession; it has become a full-blown addiction. Many of us, myself included, know someone who has struggled with addiction. Some characteristics are common to most forms of addiction, especially those who have been addicted to hard-core drugs like heroin and methamphetamine. Recovering addicts will often tell you that they did things to get that drug that they would have never done otherwise. They will also tell you that they were willing to literally do whatever they needed to get that fix. Sound familiar yet?
The Democratic Party's position on crime is far more radical than most Americans realize.

Even most Democrats have no idea how radical their leaders are.
Dem politicians *SUPPORT* career violent criminals--like the one who murdered Iryna Zarutska--being on the streets.
But the most significant issue is this: you will never hear any Democrat say it out loud, you won't even hear them imply it, but at this point, there has to be an unspoken thread running through the party, and that is survival, and survival is a lot like addiction. You will do things you would never do otherwise, and you will do whatever it takes to get it. The Democrat party wasn't always crazy. Sure, they were different eras, but former President John F. Kennedy wasn't crazy, and neither was Bill Clinton. But there is no doubt that neither would get elected as Democrats in 2025.
Democrats are not going to kick their addiction anytime soon; just the opposite, they are taking it to the next level. And while that's great for Republicans, it's not good for the country. Residents of the largest city in the United States are poised to elect a communist. That's exactly what Zohran Mamdani is, regardless of what he calls himself. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has shut down the government because he is afraid of the blowback from the far left of his party if he doesn't. That far left, the AOCs, the Mamdanis, and elected officials in places like Portland, Oregon, and Chicago are the people who have made criminals the new crop of Democrat voters.
Whoever first said that crime doesn't pay could never have envisioned today's Democrat party.
Democrats have lost their minds. Supporting criminals. Supporting illegals. Denying any riots or any crimes are happening. Someone needs to tell them we have video.
