The Democratic Party is splintering before our eyes, with independents and moderates fleeing the party in droves while the base is apparently threatening bloodshed if Congressional Democrats do not stop President Donald Trump’s America First overhaul of the country.
After years of peddling hollow messaging on niche gender identities and sewing racial discord, Democrats can’t seem to appeal to or appease anyone. Moderates and the self-preserving among the left have been calling for a tempered Democratic Party and a return to a “moderate economic message” since Kamala Harris’ divisive, identity politics heavy campaign failed to appeal to a majority of voters. Those who are not die-hard leftists are calling for the party to refocus on issues the average Democrat and swing voter cares about, issues like healthcare, jobs, and inflation. For a moment there, it appeared some in the party might be interested in tempering down the vehement rhetoric and attempting to work with Republicans and the President.
That possible juncture is in the rear-view mirror, it seems. An increasingly irate segment of the Democratic base has had enough of Congressional Democrats failing to halt President Trump’s America First overhaul and want their leaders to use any means — even permitting violence and becoming martyrs — to stop Trump.
