On Tuesday night, President Trump gave his first address to Congress since being re-elected to his second term, and the Democrat theatrics were all too predictable.
Democrats held up signs with trite cliches like “This is Not Normal,” “Musk Steals,” and “FALSE” throughout Trump’s speech. Rep. Al Green, a far-left lawmaker from Texas, caused a scene and had to be ushered out of the chamber as he swung his cane like a 2AM homeless wino outside of a Houston liquor store.
Rather than showing their moral high ground, the Democrats just came off like immature sore losers who care more about projecting their own smug sense of self-satisfaction than doing what is right for the country. A poll conducted after the speech showed that only 20 percent of respondents thought Rep. Green’s display was appropriate while 80 percent thought it was out of line.
Meanwhile, a survey conducted by CBS News showed that 76 percent of those who watched Trump’s address approved of his agenda. 63 percent of respondents said they believe Trump spends “a lot” of time speaking on issues that matter to them. 68 percent said Trump’s words left them feeling “hopeful” while 54 percent said the speech left them feeling “proud.”
The public response shows that Trump’s agenda now has the mandate of the American people fully behind it, and Trump risen above all of the divisiveness promoted by his enemies in the mainstream media and permanent government establishment in Washington D.C. Trump has become normalized while the Democrats are going in the opposite direction.
The Democrats are in too deep with the Woke Left. There is no retreating from the insanity they have embraced, and it threatens to be their political downfall. Led by Barack Hussein Obama, Democrats became the Party of racial grievance and ethnic hatred. The native Kenyan projected his deep hatred and envy toward white people across the entire nation. It worked for quite some time, but after Black Lives Matter pogroms devastated communities, the public decided enough was enough.
On the economic front, the Democrat attacks framing Republicans as the Party of the rich and wealthy elites no longer hold water because the Democrats very obviously sold out to the corporate elites who were rankled by Trump’s style and economic policies. The Democrats have increasingly been the party of the rich, thinking that embracing woke platitudes would district and satiate their base of extremists. Democrats were right on the latter, but their embrace of woke has now become an albatross that is sinking their party. Bowing to the rich has also undermined Democrats’ socialist economic arguments as Trump advocates for tariffs that are a salvation to the working class.
The Democrats overplayed their hands, like Zelensky they failed to realize they didn’t have the cards and have sowed the seeds of their own destruction as a result. After eight years of Biden being propped up by a massive private-public conspiracy to act as if his cognitive decline did not exist, the public realized they were being gaslighted on a magnitude they could not have previously fathomed. If all these elite interests conspired to lie about Biden’s mental fitness, perhaps they also could be lying about President Trump, and the deep state agenda to ruin him could exist.
The evolution of the public’s mindset was emblematic of technocrat Elon Musk’s slow transition from liberal Democrat to hardcore MAGA Republican. As Musk began to see something was awry, he started dipping his toes into the conservative movement. Still, Trump was too much for him to embrace, a bridge too far toward extremism in the eyes of the Silicon Valley titan. Musk initially supported Ron DeSantis for President and after that dismal campaign fizzled into oblivion, he finally got aboard to MAGA. And like many MAGA converts, Musk’s tepidness soon morphed into being all in.
Many other Americans have experienced the same mindset. The notion of Trump being “Cheeto Hitler” is not something that all but a small remote fringe of the population will accept. The public has become acclimated to Trump. The propaganda push regarding the Jan. 6 “insurrection,” Trump’s supposed 2024 election steal, and his various felony convictions did not hold. The system was not legitimate enough for those attacks to stick. The assassination attempts of Trump showed the people that he is the one under attack by an extremist agenda. Everything the establishment did against Trump backfired spectacularly, and there is nowhere to pivot.
The histrionics from the Left will only send more middle Americans into the hands of Trump. What is happening right now at the hands of Trump and his co-hort Musk is a shaking up of the Washington D.C. status quo and the exposure of federal corruption on a never-before-seen scale. This is exactly what Trump ran for the presidency to do. This is the fulfillment of his campaign promises. There has been no diabolical cloak-and-dagger fascist mask-pull moment. Trump is fulfilling his agenda and the opinion polls show he has never been more popular as a result.
As the Democrat Party wanes, expect an exodus to occur. There will be a rise of independents, such as Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan, who is running for Michigan Governor as an Independent in 2026 rather than a Democrat despite being a life-long Democrat Party member, in the upcoming years. Moderate Democrats will no longer want to be affiliated with the circus that dominates the Party. Candidates like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will be able to firm up their hold on the Party, perhaps with a presidential run in 2028, only making the matters worse for their national viability. In the meantime, Trump has carte blanche to go to war with the reviled federal bureaucracy with a devastated opposition impotent to stop him. The sky has never looked brighter for MAGA, and Democrats are correct to panic.
