<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Beating up on President Trump has become a hyperbolic obsession for those on the left ever since he came down the escalator after announcing his plan to run for President in 2015. It became a movement when the left-wing establishment launched its plan to resist Trump in all things all the time. It was the coincidental launch of the evergreen “Trump Resistance Movement” and “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Since all the controversy over the January 6, 2021, riot on Capitol Hill, the left has used primarily one strategy against Trump &#8212; that he is an existential threat to the Constitution and the American democracy. ; They call him a fascist and compare him to Adolph Hitler. ; He is pure evil in their biased eyes. He is described as a wannabe authoritarian king who will usher in an American dictatorship. They characterize his MAGA supporters (millions of voters) as a Nazi-like cult.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The strategy did not work. ; At times, it seemed that their ridiculously extreme criticism actually accrued to Trump’s benefit. ; When Trump signaled a run in 2024, the left piled on with the harshest accusations – and endless lawsuits. ; No presidential candidate in American history had received such extreme demonization.  ;And yet, Trump had his greatest election victory in 2024 – winning the popular vote and all the battleground states. ; He improved his numbers in every state and almost every county across America.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So, how did Democrats, the left-leaning media react? They shattered in deranged disbelief and anger. And their only strategy in dealing with the reinstated President was to double down &#8212; be more extreme and more intense than ever in their ion their mendacious claims and narratives. No matter what Trump does, they spin it as anti-American &#8230; anti-democracy &#8230; illegal &#8230; immoral &#8230; unconstitutional. Adam Serwer, writing for <em>The Atlantic,</em> epitomized the extreme anti-Trump fearmongering when he said that Trump will thrust America into a new “dark age.” </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">No matter how much Democrats and the left-wing establishment peddle their fantastical end-of-the-world narrative &#8230; no matter how many times they re-package it – no matter how many times they double down &#8230; no matter how many times they expand it &#8230; it never seems to work. It just goes back to what Lincoln said. “You cannot fool all the people all the time.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Trump has his faults – perhaps more than most presidents. (I have pointed out more than a few in the past.) He may do things that some folks do not like. He may not adhere to traditions or norms. He may be a disruptor of the establishment. But he is not a threat to the American democracy. The foundations of the Republic are solid. He will serve out his term, and the American people will elect a new President.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">By what of insanity do Democrats think that a continuation of their failed political narrative – taking it to new levels of extremity – will suddenly work? It is time – past time – for Democrats to calm down. To stop the constant hysterical fearmongering and hyperbolic demonization of Trump and at least half the American people.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In their pursuit of universal anti-Trumpism, the left presents an agenda that appears to oppose deporting illegal aliens – even the hardened criminals. They oppose reducing waste and fraud in the federal programs – and act as if every bureaucrat &#8230; ; every expenditure &#8230;every grant to colleges and institutions is a matter of life and death. ; They support defunding police – and have done so in some cases. ; They oppose tax relief for the average American solely because Trump proposes it. ; They seem willing to accept unfair trade practices merely because Trump is fighting against them. ; They seem oblivious to the fact that without cuts and reductions in federal spending, the entire economy will crash.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In short, the Democratic Party has become the party of false narratives and pervasive negativism. ; They have no positive agenda – only platitudes and accusations. ; And the American people are increasingly weary of it – fed up. ; It is why Trump won the election in 2024 &#8230; and why so many Democrats have turned away from left-wing media &#8230; and why the Democratic Party has the lowest favorable rating in its history. ; ; And they still do not get it. Yeah!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So, there ‘tis.</p>

When will Democrats give up their ridiculous “end of democracy” narrative?
