What Is the Democratic Alternative to Trump?​

23 Aug 2925 ~~ By Victor Davis Hanson

The Pavlovian Left goes berserk at the mere prospect of each new Trump initiative.
Its escalating reactive venom and hysteria are calibrated to the success of Trump's latest policy.
Yet the new hard-left Democratic Party offers no counter-agenda to explain its furor. Still less do Democrats attempt bipartisan efforts to craft shared legislation.
Take foreign policy.
Democratic senators trashed the recent Trump-Putin Alaskan summit as a failure. Then they became depressed when, just days later, an entourage of European leaders and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy suddenly flew to the White House.
The Euros praised Trump for offering some sort of negotiated pathway to peace after over three years of war and some 1.5 million dead, wounded, missing, and captured on both sides -- on Europe's doorstep.
So why did Democrats object to such negotiations by Trump?
Was the reason that no such thing occurred during the Biden administration, when Putin invaded Ukraine, after his earlier invasions during the Obama era?
~Snip~
Under the Biden administration, over 10 million illegal aliens flooded the country, sometimes 10,000 a day at the southern border. More than half a million criminals swarmed in.
Yet now there is essentially zero illegal immigration and over 100,000 criminal aliens deported. A million who entered illegally have voluntarily gone home.
Yet the left has fought the enforcement of immigration law tooth and nail.
Do they believe that it is lawful and moral to break immigration law but immoral and illegal to enforce it?
~Snip~
One, the prior Biden administration was among the most aimless, corrupt, and unpopular in modern history.
So the contrast with Trump's successes is too hard to bear.
Two, Democrats so hate Trump the messenger that they seek to destroy his entire message, even when it benefits their own country and the world at large.
If Trump conducts peace, they prefer war. If he wages war on crime, they side with the criminal. If he stops illegal immigration, they want more illegal immigrants.
Three, they fear they have no alternatives to the Trump record, because his agenda is common sense and supported by a majority of Americans.
Fourth, the left cannot stop Trump's success.
Nothing seems to destroy him -- not the raid on his home, not 93 lawfare indictments, not efforts to strike him from state ballots, not two impeachments, not even two assassination attempts.
Instead, all that only made him stronger -- and thus more hated.


Commentary:
Question: “What Is the Democratic Alternative to Trump?”
Democrat answer: A Socialist Marxist Democrat controlled government forever.
Democrats are hanging on the hope that one more round of anti Trump hate and historical mid-term election gains will put them back in the cat bird seat. As reported on TV Democrat focus groups are telling politicians that they don’t hate Trump and MAGA enough.
Unfortunately, their actions and policies are turning people away from the Neo-Democrat Party that has been taken over by DSA Marxist Democrats funded by the CPUSA.
History shows us that much of the post WWII Democrat directed foreign policy was naive and misguided, but everything collapsed when the collapse of the Soviet Union undermined the career prospects of all of the Soviet studies PhD who became irrelevant unless we could keep the Russia a threat to our vital national security affairs going. That sad sack Bolton is a cautionary tale about all of them. It seems that the whole point of the National Security Deep State with their own idea of their constitution protecting them is to prevent a sovereign president from any rapprochement with Russia undermining their “Cosa Nostra.”
Fact: Putin invaded Ukraine, after his earlier invasions of Georgia and the Crimea during the Obama era. The left’s solution?

• Biden’s idea was handing Ukraine billions of US tax dollars
• Depleting US defense weaponry that protected American families to supply ukraine
• Biden kept the fighting going and the casualties mounting
• There was no path to victory
• A negotiated peace was never contemplated

Obama, Biden and Democrats are okay with arming foreign countries. Yet, grabbing guns from Americans is an obsession with them since the 1930's. The same Democrat Lefties that gleefully trample Second American Rights, are hell bent on supplying weapons to foreign countries.

Democrats can't change who they are. Trump has awaken the country to the fact that the Dem party is led by a tiny minority of elitist snobs and freaks who do not represent the vast majority of Americans. That's why the Dem party is circling the drain. The word is out and the elitist snobs and freaks can't change who they are.

In related news Dems are putting out lists of WOKE words and phrases to stop using, in a lame attempt to fool people into thinking they changed.

Newsom is a hot potato now that an illegal who shouldn't have been driving anything let along a truck killed 3 innocent Americans. That will be Exhibot A or B for him in any presidential campaign. I''m guessing that Pete Buttigieg guy will be in the mix. Newsom will be older and lose some of his slickness and his track record offers just a massive target. Cali probably isn't as bad as people say, they are still happy people. He is losing on the Green agenda, his close friendship with President Xi, the number of.illegals etc.

The only gun grab was under George SonofaBush, jr, in New Orleans after an emergency was declared, disarming people in their home, by the police and state troopers, backed up by the Federalized National Guard, deployed by presidential directive. It was a shameful time for the Guard.

I hate to break this to you, Danny but the Democrats are in deep shit. People are leaving the Democratic Party in droves and joining the Republican Party. The New York Times puts the number of those people at somewhere over two million and it's getting worse by the day. That is compounded by illegals leaving the country either by being caught and deported or self deporting. You're going to be losing multiple Congressional seats because the next Census is going to reflect that. Then there is the issue of money. The Times was also talking about how the Democrats only took in 18 million in donations over the last few months while the GOP took in over 80 million. As for redistricting? The Democrats can bluster all they want about doing the same thing in other States as the GOP is doing in Texas but the cold hard fact is that they've ALREADY gerrymanded the crap out of the States they control and if they want to get in a war with the GOP on this issue there are a lot more States controlled by Republicans that haven't been gerrymanded much at all! So bring it on, Gavin! Posture for the cameras but don't cry when your little stunt backfires on you.

What Is the Democratic Alternative to Trump? Anyone But Trump?​

 

[Crepitus]

we don't have anyone that stupid.

 

[odanny]

Who does the GOP have on the bench after Trump? I'm trying to think of someone even close to being as out of touch with reality as Donald Trump is, and the only one I'm coming up with is Marge Taylor-Greene.

Think of it like 1953, and Stalin kicks the bucket. Who rises?

Very true, but they will fire up a gaslighting campaign in 2026 based a phony love of country and the American worker. They still control all major media so we can't underestimate that power.
