For months earlier than Donald Trump took workplace, Democrats had the president’s playbook.
That’s not hyperbole; that they had a duplicate of Challenge 2025, the file written by a bunch of the president’s former staffers and the Heritage Basis. All of us did; mission 2025 was leaked on-line.
As Donald Trump campaigned, Democrats used warnings based mostly on Challenge 2025 doctrine to persuade voters to not re-elect the previous president. Trump even tried to distance himself from Challenge 2025, claiming at one level that he hadn’t learn it and had no intention of following it.
And everybody knew that was a lie. Challenge 2025 and Donald Trump’s personal “Agenda47” are almost equivalent.
Challenge 2025 was so harmful that in the course of the 2024 BET Awards, actress Taraji P. Henson warned America in an impromptu speech that the doctrine was very actual and to get out and vote as a result of “The Challenge 2025 plan is just not a recreation. Look it up,” she stated.
Donald Trump took workplace, and only a few months into his presidency, he hasn’t simply applied Challenge 2025, he’s executed nearly half of it. Democrats haven’t executed one factor to cease him. Like an Orange Thanos, Trump has run roughshod over Democracy, and Democrats are infighting and arguing with themselves, and instances simply hold getting rougher.
Thus far, Trump and his cruel band of groupies have ended USAID, the main worldwide humanitarian basis. They’ve gutted the Division of Schooling. He’s fired 17 unbiased inspectors basic at a number of authorities companies, who he’ll most assuredly substitute with Trump loyalists.
He’s withheld federal funding from universities till they bend the knee. And he’s deporting anybody he desires regardless of federal judges’ orders for him to cease. Oh, and he appointed a billionaire tyrant because the second-in-command regardless of stated billionaire tyrant by no means going earlier than a congressional panel to find out if he’s match to be this near the president.
And to this point, Democrats have executed…wait, let me examine as I’ve numerous information clippings throughout my desk, and I’m positive there’s something I’m lacking…social media posts.
Critically, the one likelihood Democrats needed to try to cease Donald Trump’s agenda, the one alternative to try to stall the destruction of democracy — and positive it will’ve led to a authorities shutdown, however it will’ve been Democrats’ first effort in opposition to a tyrannical administration hellbent on returning America again to the Chilly Conflict-era — 10 Democrats acquiesced to the president’s calls for and in flip, offered America down the river.
However what’s troubling about Democrats’ nonresponse to Trump’s administration needs to be the truth that they and the remainder of America knew this was coming, and never solely do they appear to have no plan in any respect, however they don’t even appear to have the ability to coexist. Information of Democrat infighting has been rampant, and there doesn’t appear to be a uniform plan to fight the dictator in workplace whenever you had the playbook months earlier than the Trump administration took workplace.
Donald Trump has eliminated individuals of colour and the LGBTQ+ group and their achievements from all authorities language. He put himself on the board of the Kennedy Heart. He’s presently demanding that the Smithsonian undo a “concerted and widespread effort to rewrite our Nation’s historical past,” which the White Home claims makes the USA look to be “racist, sexist, oppressive, or in any other case irredeemably flawed.”
Donald Trump has an issue with the reality, and the reality is and has at all times been that America is a “racist, sexist, oppressive and in any other case irredeemably flawed,” and performing prefer it isn’t doesn’t imply that it’s not; it simply signifies that you’re good at mendacity.
Aside from tweets, skeets, threads, TikToks, and TV appearances, Democrats seem to be nothing greater than common People who’re irritated by the president’s actions however powerless in opposition to him. They complain on X about the actions he’s taken or the threats that he’s made, however they don’t have any plan and no finish objective. Hell, they don’t even appear to have a pacesetter.
Keep in mind when Trump held a faux State of the Union and Rep. Al Inexperienced (D-Texas) stood up and spoke reality to energy?
Inexperienced, 77, jumped out of his seat along with his cane in hand and commenced shouting on the president, “You don’t have any mandate!” Inexperienced was escorted out of the Home Chamber, and it was the primary time since Donald Trump took workplace {that a} Democrat did one thing like combating again.
It was the primary time since Trump’s second time period began {that a} Democrat regarded the bully within the face and stated, “I’m not letting you punk me.” It was a daring and defiant act in opposition to a president who misplaced his approach lengthy earlier than he took workplace, and it was a second of sanity disguised as disobedience as a result of this administration is insane.
Days later, what did Democrats do? Effectively, 10 of them voted to censure Inexperienced.
That’s proper; each Home Republican and 10 Democrats voted to publicly reprimand the one one that stood up and stated one thing to the person who has used the Structure as bathroom paper. The censuring of Inexperienced might be essentially the most defiant act that Democrats have taken since Trump took workplace, and it’s not solely embarrassing; it’s despairing.
I don’t know if there’s a pathway out of this hell that white girls (they’ve repeatedly offered out America to uphold white supremacy and the patriarchy) have put us in. That isn’t my job. I didn’t run for workplace, nor would I need to. However I do know that those that did make a promise to uphold the legal guidelines of the land.
I didn’t assume they wanted to be instructed that if the decision is coming from inside the home, you would possibly need to get the hell off of TikTok and X and truly do one thing. Individuals are dropping their jobs, their households, and their hope, and Democrats can’t appear to cease combating amongst themselves to tackle the precise enemy.
I’m a betting man. I at all times have been, and for those who requested me to push in all my chips on Democrats with the ability to proper this ship and get America again heading in the right direction, nicely that might be the second within the night time that I might thanks for inviting me out, and I might collect my issues to go house.
If I needed to guess on one thing, I’d guess on Donald Trump succeeding in regardless of the long-term play of Challenge 2025 is as a result of Democrats aren’t doing something to cease him; the truth is, a few of them could also be in on it.
