The Democrats have obviously learned nothing from their losses in the 2024 election. They have remained on the losing side of the issues, which catapulted Trump into the presidency and gave the GOP the majority in the senate and kept them in control of the House.

The Democrats are still supporting transgender men competing in women’s sports, which over 95% of Americans oppose. The Democrats still oppose securing our borders and the deportation of illegal immigrants, even violent MS-13 and Tren de Aragua gang members, and support returning violent illegals after been deported.

The Democrats object to DOGE cutting wasteful government spending, because much of the said wasteful spending is being used to covertly fund the Democrats’ socialist agenda, i.e. DEI, fighting a non-existent climate crisis, etc. The Democrats are choosing a lot of minority hills to die on in 2026.

The Democrats party is currently leaderless, in complete disarray, devoid of any ideas to improve the lives of everyday Americans to compete with Trump’s ideas. They are only running as the anti-Trump party, with the promise to impeach Trump again if they retake the House in 2026. Hardly a winning election strategy. If, heaven forbid, the Democrats retake the House, Trump had better never remove the label from his mattress.

The Democrats, unable to block Trump from carrying out his campaign promises, in Congress, are resorting to socialist activist district judges to issue unconstitutional injunctions to halt or at least delay Trump’s implementation of his policies. District judges like James E. Boasberg, an Obama appointee, who attempted to block Trump’s deportation of illegal immigrant criminals to Nicaragua before an appeals judge overruled him. Boasberg should resign his judgeship and run for president himself if he wants to be our commander in chief.

The 677 district judges were created by Congress to make legal decisions within their judicial districts, not issue nationwide injunctions to cripple the president’s executive authority when he is of the opposition party. Congress and the Supreme Court must rein in out-of-control activist judges from usurping power from the executive branch.

If district judges were intended to hold jurisdiction nationwide, Congress have created a set number of national judges, not 677 district justices.

The Democrats should be moderating their political views, but they seem bent on further radicalizing their party.
