For months earlier than Donald Trump took workplace, Democrats had the president’s playbook.
That’s not hyperbole; they’d a duplicate of Venture 2025, the file written by a bunch of the president’s former staffers and the Heritage Basis. All of us did; undertaking 2025 was leaked on-line.
As Donald Trump campaigned, Democrats used warnings primarily based on Venture 2025 doctrine to persuade voters to not re-elect the previous president. Trump even tried to distance himself from Venture 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. Venture 2025 and Donald Trump’s personal “Agenda47” are practically similar.
Venture 2025 was so harmful that through 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 Venture 2025 plan will not be a recreation. Look it up,” she stated.
Donald Trump took workplace, and only a few months into his presidency, he hasn’t simply carried out Venture 2025, he’s executed virtually half of it. Democrats haven’t completed one factor to cease him. Like an Orange Thanos, Trump has run roughshod over Democracy, and Democrats are infighting and arguing with themselves, and occasions simply hold getting rougher.
Up to now, 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 impartial inspectors basic at a number of authorities companies, who he’ll most assuredly exchange with Trump loyalists.
He’s withheld federal funding from universities till they bend the knee. And he’s deporting anybody he needs 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 completed…wait, let me verify as I’ve a number of information clippings throughout my desk, and I’m positive there’s something I’m lacking…social media posts.
Severely, the one likelihood Democrats needed to attempt to cease Donald Trump’s agenda, the one alternative to attempt to stall the destruction of democracy — and positive it could’ve led to a authorities shutdown, however it could’ve been Democrats’ first effort towards 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, bought 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 once you had the playbook months earlier than the Trump administration took workplace.
Donald Trump has eliminated individuals of shade and the LGBTQ+ group and their achievements from all authorities language. He put himself on the board of the Kennedy Heart. He’s at present 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 all the time 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 implies that you’re good at mendacity.
Apart from tweets, skeets, threads, TikToks, and TV appearances, Democrats seem to be nothing greater than common Individuals who’re irritated by the president’s actions however powerless towards him. They complain on X about the actions he’s taken or the threats that he’s made, however they haven’t any plan and no finish purpose. Hell, they don’t even appear to have a frontrunner.
Bear in mind when Trump held a pretend State of the Union and Rep. Al Inexperienced (D-Texas) stood up and spoke reality to energy?
Inexperienced, 77, jumped out of his seat together with his cane in hand and started shouting on the president, “You haven’t 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 towards a president who misplaced his manner 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? Properly, 10 of them voted to censure Inexperienced.
That’s proper; each Home Republican and 10 Democrats voted to publicly reprimand the one one who 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 ladies (they’ve repeatedly bought 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 suppose they wanted to be instructed that if the decision is coming from inside the home, you may need to get the hell off of TikTok and X and truly do one thing. Persons are shedding 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 all the time have been, and in case you 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, effectively that will be the second within the night time that I might thanks for inviting me out, and I might collect my issues to go residence.
If I needed to wager on one thing, I’d wager on Donald Trump succeeding in regardless of the long-term play of Venture 2025 is as a result of Democrats aren’t doing something to cease him; in actual fact, a few of them could also be in on it.
