Today’s Democratic Party is in complete chaos, is leaderless with no issues to run on, except as being the anti-Trump party, opposing Trump, on every issue, including the popular issues which got Trump elected.

The Democratic Party is totally unconcerned over the political assassination of Charlie Kirk, a conservative advocate for free speech on American college campuses. Most Americans are mourning the death of Charlie Kirk. Yet, in the House of Representatives, 58 Democrats voted no and 38 Democrats voted present on a resolution honoring Charlie Kirk.

It is worth noting, when Charlie Kirk’s supporters gathered for vigils around the country, out of love and respect, honoring his memory, it was always peaceful with no violence, no riots and no burning of buildings or vehicles. Had a prominent Democrat been assassinated, violent fiery riots would have broken out across the country.

Democrats were more concerned over the cancellation of wannabe comedian Jimmy Kimmel from late night television than the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk.

Kimmel’s cancellation was a business decision, due to the loss of over 70% of his viewership. The final straw was Kimmel’s vile comments concerning Charlie Kirk’s tragic assassination. Thus, Kimmel was a victim of his own “big mouth.” Not a victim of Donald Trump, for having his show cancelled, as Democrats were alleging, until Kimmel’s show was again being aired on all ABC affiliated stations after his insincere apology. Kimmel’s show is still losing money for Disney-ABC, so his show is still in danger of cancellation.

Democrats today are on the wrong side of major issues. They favor rights of violent criminal illegal aliens over the welfare of American citizens. They support the 1,000% increase of attacks on ICE officers who are deporting violent criminal illegals.

Democrats favor transgender men competing in women’s sports, which 96% of Americans oppose. The Democratic Party has never condemned the anarchists who violently rioted during the “Summer of Love” in 2020, yet they unfairly blame Trump for the Jan. 6, 2021, so-called insurrection and are threatening to impeach Trump for that, or anything else they can conjure up, if Democrats retake Congress in 2026.

Democrats have also promised to reopen our borders to illegal immigration, should they ever regain the presidency.

Thus, if the Democrats continue on their current path, they are setting themselves up for major losses in the House and Senate, in the upcoming 2026 elections.
