Democrats are infamously short sighted and simply unable to see the big picture, ever. They can't learn from their mistakes.
Democrats have this awful habit of occassionally winning a hard fought victory, but instantly throwing it out the window. By that I mean, instead of recognizing all of the hard work that went into the fight, building off it and using it as a model for new battles, Democrats convert their victories into an entitlement. Before the ink even dries, they dismiss and deny that they earned the victory through hard work, and instead they treat every meager success as if it's some kind of righteous fulfillment of something that they think was owed all along. And since everybody owes them, they take no responsibility for themselves. And since they take no responsibility for themselves, they see no reason to continue working to cultivate the good and wonderful results in society they claim they stand for. Instead, they start whining about the next batch of whatever they also claim is owed to them.
And that's what happened with the recent debt limit fight, and it is happening now with the public reaction to Donald's indictment. Kevin McCarthy had to really go out on a limb to get enough support for that bill to make it happen. He landed himself in really hot water with his own party, and put his position is danger. Democrats had to even step up and pledge to support him if the hard liner Republicans tried to oust him. When was the last time you saw that kind of cross aisle cooperation?
But their cooperation only went so far as to get that one bill passed. The moment it was done, the Democrats began sitting back and gleefully watched as McCarthy had to begin fighting himself out of a wolf's den. Because Dems think that McCarthy owed it to them to get the debt bill through. And they think that they are entitled for McCarthy's life to be miserable, because he's their adversary. So they're all to happy to leave him out to dry.
If they were smart, Dems would see the big picture. They'd build off a bipartisan victory and the strength of centrist moderation on both sides being able to shuck off the whackadoodles. If Dems were smart they would see this as an opportunity to catalyse change, move the Republican Party's center of gravity back toward the center. But no. They can't be bothered. So they get what they're getting now.
Kevin McCarthy's position has been substantially weakened by the political capital he had to burn to get the debt ceiling bill done. So what is he supposed to do with Donald's indictments? What else can he do? He has to pander to the whackadoodles. Of course he's out there saying the things that cultists want to hear! He needs them. There's no profit in centrism if it's not bipartisan, and there can be no bipartism centrism if the party will weaponize your moderation by relishing the other side's intra-party tensions like a mormon girl shooting her first gangbang.
So Democrats, here we are now. Donald is indicted and nearly every single elected official in the Republican party is going to twist and spew all kinds of absurd rhetoric to defend him. And the effect is going to be to further empower Donald politically, bury the cult deeper in their religious worship, and even draw out some more new voters on Donald's side who haven't cast a ballot since Nixon.
