Democratic riot culture is destroying politics and endangering lives

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/...re-destroying-politics-and-endangering-lives/

There are plenty of complaints that our politics have deteriorated over the past decade. One of the biggest culprits remains the normalization of riot culture by the Democratic Party, where scores of activists are convinced that they can block traffic, assault law enforcement, and that their violence is a justified form of resistance. The result has been dangerous for everyone involved.

Interesting statistics.



The math behind this is actually really fascinating, and it explains why the Left has to rely so much on institutional capture and mass migration to remain alive.

The children of Liberals adopt their worldview 89% of the time, while Conservatives see their kids adopt theirs 81% of the time.

But this advantage on the Left is dwarfed by the fact that they’re essentially an anti-catalyst movement.

We know that women have kids at a higher rate than men across the board, but Conservative men have kids at a higher rate than even Liberal women.

This means that ~59% of Conservatives become parents, while just ~31% of Liberals do.

That’s almost a 2X fertility advantage.

And when you multiply those numbers by the ideological detainment rate on both sides, you see that:

59% x .81 = 47.8
31% x .89 = 27.6

So that rounds to a minimum of 48 Conservative-aligned children per 100 Conservative adults, compared to a minimum of just 28 Liberal-aligned children per 100 Liberal adults.

Conservatives are reproducing their worldview at ~70% higher rate per adult than liberals.

And this is a minimum estimate because all our math here assumes that both the Conservable and Liberal families had only one kid, but we know Conservatives on average have much larger families.

The Left can’t compete with this organically, so they have to essentially steal the children of Conservatives through the education and media system (which they’ve all ideologically hijacked) and import new voters who will make up for their own collapsing birthrates.

If you ended all immigration and dismantled their dominance over education, the Left would be extinct in 20 years.

TIM ALLEN - ON TRUMP: Whatever your feelings for Trump, these are some interesting points that Tim Allen makes. Put your hatred aside and think about these observations. Tim Allen is credited with writing this ...

Tim Allen wrote... Here are some interesting points to think about prior to 2020, especially to my friends on the fence, like moderate Democrats, Libertarians and Independents and the never Trump Republicans and those thinking of "walking away" from the Democratic party:

- Women are upset at Trump's naughty words --they also bought 80 million copies of 50 Shades of Gray.

- Not one feminist has defended Sarah Sanders.

It seems women's rights only matter if those women are liberal.

- No Border Walls. No voter ID laws. Did you figure it out yet? But wait... there's more...

- Chelsea Clinton got out of college and got a job at NBC that paid $900,000 per year. Her mom flies around the country speaking out about white privilege.

And just like that, they went from being against foreign interference in our elections to allowing non-citizens to vote in our elections.

- President Trump's wall costs less than the Obamacare website. Let that sink in, America!

- We are one election away from open borders, socialism, gun confiscation, and full-term abortion nationally. We are fighting evil.

- They sent more troops and armament to arrest Roger Stone than they sent to defend Benghazi.

- 60 years ago, Venezuela was 4th on the world economic freedom index. Today, they are 179th and their citizens are dying of starvation. In only 10 years, Venezuela was destroyed by democratic socialism.

- Russia donated $0.00 to the Trump campaign.
Russia donated $145,600,000 to the Clinton Foundation. But Trump was the one investigated!

- Nancy Pelosi invited illegal aliens to the State of the Union. President Trump Invited victims of illegal aliens to the State of the Union. Let that sink in.

- A socialist is basically a communist who doesn't have the power to take everything from their citizens at gunpoint ... Yet!

- How do you walk 3000 miles across Mexico without food or support and show up at our border 100 pounds overweight and with a cellphone?

- Alexandria Ocasio Cortez wants to ban cars, ban planes, give out universal income and thinks socialism works. She calls Donald Trump crazy.

- Bill Clinton paid $850,000 to Paula Jones To get her to go away. I don't remember the FBI raiding his lawyer's office.

- I wake up every day and I am grateful that Hillary Clinton is not the president of the United States of America. The same media that told me Hillary Clinton had a 95% chance of winning, now tells me Trump's approval ratings are low.

- "The problem with socialism is that sooner or later you run out of other people's money." —
Margaret Thatcher

- Maxine Waters opposes voter ID laws; She thinks that they are racist. You need to have a photo ID to attend her town hall meetings.

- President Trump said — "They're not after me.
They're after you. I'm just in their way." Now, go Back & Read this Again like your Future Depends upon it, Because it Does!!!

DEMOGRAPHIC DOOM FOR DEMS: Fresh U.S. Census Bureau estimates just dropped a political nuke

Blue states are BLEEDING population → projected to LOSE ~10 Electoral College votes after 2030.

Red states are exploding → expected to GAIN ~9 (net Republican shift of 8–10 EVs in most projections).

If trends hold, neither the old "Blue Wall" path (MI/PA/WI) NOR the Sun Belt strategy by themselves gets future Dems to 270.

Breakdown:

Blue bleeding:
California -4
New York -2
Illinois -1
Minnesota -1
Oregon -1
Rhode Island -1

Red booming:
Texas +4
Florida +3–4
Idaho +1
Utah +1

Swings mixed (but tilting right):
Arizona +1

THE TRUTH!!!



In reality, the Democrat Party is wildly unpopular, they are just propped up by voter fraud and manipulation of perception.

They control the media and polls, who trick the public to believe the Dems are more popular than they are, then the fraud backs up their illusion.

Without voter fraud, the Democrat party would cease to exist. Their survival relies solely on the ability to lie to the public and cheat in elections.

The entire thing is a ruse.

Both parties are unpopular. My question for dems is what would they do differently if they were in charge? For example how would they lower the cost of healthcare, housing, utilities, and groceries. What would they do with border security and existing illegal immigrants? How would they reduce the deficit? How would they deal with Russia/Ukraine? So far the only proposal I've heard is that Trump sucks and has destroyed our democracy.

Shhhh. Dont tell them.

 

[TigerGrowls]

The cold civil war between the MAGAs and the Wokes is gradually moving from a clash along their outer boundaries to deep penetration thrusts and counter thrusts reaching their respective core systems.

The MAGAs are trying to defeat voter fraud, voter manufacture, the money laundering of tax dollars to left wing fronts and to lessen the hold of Woke over media and education.

The Wokes are simply trying to physically and legally suppress the MAGAs using their media strength to justify it.

Their respective strengths are dissimilar. The Wokes are far better organized and funded. But the MAGAs very often have reality on their side. The struggle is likely to be protracted. Moreover it is now impossible to disengage and return to the Uniparty consensus of the early 2010s.

The fight will outlast its chief present personalities; in fact various versions of this conflict are taking place in Europe, the Pacific Rim and Latin America. "It's bigger than the both of us".

The Woke hope is that by winning in the USA and ruthlessly suppressing the MAGAs they can use the American strength to engineer a global Woke triumph.

But this is unlikely simply because the Woke program effectively weakens the societies in which it triumphs. Thus there are really only two outcomes: MAGA wins or China wins.

Yet another excellent assessment of today's democratic party. Sad so many are still beholden to their cult here.

Why I Will Never Regret My Vote for Trump​

https://www.sashastone.com/p/why-i-will-never-regret-my-vote-for

To Trump’s enemies, this was yet another crisis not to go to waste. It was the perfect way to reel back some of those Nicki Minaj supporters who might be thinking about flipping to Trump. The midterms are coming up, and they’re desperately worried about losing votes of yet another necessary demographic.

That’s all it’s been for ten years now, emotional blackmail to convince us that Trump really is that bad while offering nothing in return. They have addressed nothing. They have fixed nothing. They have offered only a fanatical cult and a rigid ideology of an oppressor/oppressed mindset, and then demanded everyone go along with it, or they’re racists, homophobes, bigots, Nazis.

------

So let me make it perfectly clear for those who might be wondering after the scandal du jour: I don’t regret my vote for Trump and I never will, because even now, the Left is worse. Their reaction is worse. They are never telling the truth, not to us, not to themselves. All they have to sell is hate and fear.

They aren’t getting less crazy and more sane. They are not becoming kinder, more tolerant, and more forgiving. They still have no idea what democracy means - spoiler alert: you can’t always get what you want. They have never learned the lesson in ten years. They still believe that winning their war is forcing all of us to go along with their distorted version of reality.

And add that to these crazy people on TikTok, and you start to see that the reason Trump won is that he’s closer to normal than they are. They just don’t realize that they’re the problem.

Another symptom is the compulsion to suddenly and fervently embrace fringe ideas, the more radical the better.

A plague of antisemitism is now sweeping through the left’s swamps, and Mamdani is propelling it forward.

Another obvious example of the rise of the fringe is the infatuation with economic policies that have failed every time and everywhere they’ve been tried throughout history.

Then there’s the compulsion to defend the idea of throwing open the border to all comers, and refusing to arrest and deport the worst of the worst — brilliant!

Anyone calling for the elimination of ICE is effectively supporting freedom for criminal aliens and ignoring the safety of citizens.

 

[m.knox]

The Democrats Aren’t Built for This​

As @fatpiggy rightfully pointed out in another thread, the only thing democrats care about is getting Trump.

https://archive.is/qItvw#selection-679.0-679.35

I traveled around the country and interviewed about four dozen Democratic candidates, elected officials, party leaders, operatives, and voters I met at rallies, town halls, and other gatherings. What I encountered was a political party on a search: for a winning message; for a fresh identity; for new leaders; for the elusive white knight, whatever that might look like. In the past, saviors have occasionally materialized, but rarely how a broken party imagined them. No one saw Barack Obama coming, sweeping in to define a winning coalition of Democrats in 2008. Nor, for that matter, did anyone envisage Donald Trump doing the same for Republicans eight years later. Fortunes can turn fast.

But Democrats have remained stuck in their funk for an unusually long stretch. For much of 2025, their doldrums felt much worse than the typical rough patch that parties endure after bad election defeats. They were staggered, self-pitying, and seemingly traumatized by the denouement of the Joe Biden years. They have wallowed and feuded.

They have also analyzed themselves to death. If sheer tonnage of voter case studies and white papers could rescue a party, Democrats would be set for years. My inbox overflowed with the latest theories on how Democrats had lost their way and what was needed to revive them. Dueling autopsies were produced by various advocacy groups.

 

[m.knox]

Can Dems rescue their party from its radical left rebels before the chaos spirals out of control?​

It's hard to see that so many on the left don't realize what their party has become.

https://abernathyroad.substack.com/...e&r=7zf8u&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email

As we have witnessed, it is a recipe for disaster when federal forces arrive to enforce the law, local police refuse assistance, and radical left agitators take to the streets. Violence and chaos ensue. It is a dangerous pattern, but one openly encouraged by a growing number of reckless elected officials currying favor with their far-left base.

Defying federal law by declaring some cities are “sanctuaries” for illegal immigrants is an astounding revival of the old “states’ rights” argument — a throwback to the reasoning that defended slavery in the 19th century and Jim Crow laws in the 20th. It has led to heated encounters that have been chaotic and even deadly, but risks even more violent confrontations.

The radical left is driving the chaos

The radical left and the growing socialist wing of the Democratic Party are driving the chaos. It is obvious that neither the Trump administration nor the Republican majority in Congress has the ability to influence the extreme left and quell the rebellion without calling upon the kind of overwhelming force no one wants.

Rhetorical alternatives to the use of force can only come effectively from Democrats who have not succumbed to political insanity. We can hope that the non-anarchists still represent the majority of the Democratic Party, but that’s not a certainty.

So far, those whom we might expect to offer voices of reason — high-ranking Democrats and revered party elder statesmen — have either been mostly silent or have even sprinkled fuel on the fire.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and his House counterpart, Hakeem Jeffries, have sided with Democrats threatening ICE funding. Most Democrats in Congress have dutifully lined up behind them. Some have insisted on conditions such as prohibiting ICE agents from wearing masks, despite knowing that the masks only came on after agents began to be “doxed” – their identifies revealed, home addresses shared, and families endangered.

Will a Democrat stand up to lead?

-------

Are there Democrats today who will put aside their personal distaste for Trump in the cause of national unity? Are there Democrats who will say the following to the radical protesters of their party: Don’t protect illegal immigrants from the legal consequences of their own decisions. Don’t throw things at law enforcement officers. Don’t push police barricades out of the way. Don’t drive your vehicles into traffic and block the road. Don’t get into the faces of federal agents and dare them to assault you.

Ya think?

legacy dem leadership is trying to pivot tot the middle. But the party has left them behind running to the left. Obama and Clinton have little say in the Democrat party. They need to leadership from a new voice and a fresh face.

 

[fatpiggy]

Too little too late. They should have spoken up long ago.

Persoanlly I think pubs hold both House and Senate post midterm.

Democrats are acting like petulant children and are contradicting views held by the mainstream just years ago.

Trump is crushing it with the economy so Dems will gain no votes there, possibly even lose more.

Ddems are going to have to deal with the backfire of Epstein running through the Dem party. The oooulace sees the loons like Boone who through Epstein sh it at Trump only for him to come out clean as a whistle.

Democrats have no ideas or platform right now. They need fresh leadership and a major pivot to the middle or they are at real risk of losing mid terms.

Charles Manson never killed anyone himself. He was too much of a *****. He just brainwashed a gang of low-IQ, far-left morons into doing his dirty work, convincing them they were noble “social justice” warriors.

Today’s Democrats are running the exact same Manson cult playbook. Same manipulation, same deranged idiots, same deadly results.

 

[TigerGrowls]

 

[TigerGrowls]

Agree.



I wonder if people understand how desperate the anti Trump forces must be to sacrifice their top level of control over parts of MAGA (Bannon, high clown Massie, MTG and other "true cons" ) to die on the hill of the Epstein files. All in an effort to stop the Trump blitzkrieg. This tells me they are very worried about the midterms.

If the anti-Trump forces lose the mid-terms, it's basically over for them. There will be little chance for 2028. If they can't win 2028, the Trump agenda of a secure border, deportations, anti-fraud efforts, dei ending, tariffs, trade deals, etc can't be rolled back in any shape or form soon enough to stop them from taking effect. Then there is the census count that they lose control over and the sea change that will cause in power in D.C.

2026 could be their final stand.

It could be, in all seriousness, the most important election in the last 10 years. The anti Trump losers are holding on by their fingernails at this point.

 

[TigerGrowls]

Andrew Fraser Tytler writing in the 1780s:

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.

The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage.”

Why the Democratic Party Can’t Moderate​

So many on the left pretend it isn't happening. "ANECDOTAL!!!" lol...

https://www.compactmag.com/article/why-the-democratic-party-cant-moderate/

Shawn Thierry would seem to embody the modern Democratic Party: an African-American woman, a lawyer, and the daughter of a city maintenance worker and an English teacher. The generations of African-Americans who built her district of Sunnyside, Houston’s first black community, were working-class, Christian, and loyal to the Democratic Party. They helped deliver Texas for Kennedy and Johnson, under whose terms the Democrats passed sweeping civil rights legislation. But African-Americans, particularly older voters who form a significant share of the Democratic base, tend to be more socially conservative. Rather than see Thierry’s vote in favor of the ban as one that reflected the will of voters in her plurality-black district, the state Democratic party determined that allowing the progressive groups to remove Thierry was less costly than defending her.

Shortly after her loss, Thierry released a statement announcing she was leaving the Democratic Party. “The Democratic Party has veered so far left, so deep into the progressive abyss,” she wrote. “This is not the party I grew up with. I have witnessed firsthand how the so-called ‘liberal’ left now stifles thoughtful debate, silencing dissent with an iron fist—demanding blind allegiance to ideology, where one must comply or be cast out.”

Thierry is not the only Democratic state lawmaker forced out of the party by what the liberal commentators have come to call “The Groups.” Last year in Florida, former Senate Minority Leader Jason Pizzo, the highest-ranking Democratic elected official in the state, announced he was leaving the party, which he described as “dead” in his departure speech. In interviews following his decision, Pizzo spoke of mounting pressure from national consultants and advocacy groups pushing Democratic officials to prioritize socially divisive issues that he believed voters don’t actually care about. Ultimately, Pizzo said he had grown tired of working for a group of people with “no purpose on how to solve things with sound policy.”

The National polls measure the popular vote, which she won by 3 million votes so they were correct.

Trump's current low approval ratings are corroborated by all the special elections that Democrats have been slaughtering, including deep red districts where Trump won by 15+ points.

This Democrat Just Blasted the Democrats' Plan to Boycott Trump's State of the Union Address​

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/dmitr...to-boycott-trumps-state-of-the-union-n2671573

Stephen A. Smith, an ESPN commentator and Democrat, blasted congressional Democrats over plans to boycott, and potentially disrupt, President Trump’s State of the Union address next week. Smith argued that the party continues to project immaturity, and unlike the rest of Americans, must make a spectacle out of every disagreement they face at work.

"The president of the United States is going to give his State of the Union address, and the Democrats got other plans," Smith said. "So some are talking about walking out in the middle of this speech. Others are talking about boycotting it altogether and essentially finding something else to do."

"I'm here to tell you that neither is acceptable. Neither should be acceptable. At some point in time, ladies and gentlemen, there's got to be an adult in the room."

This comes after it became glaringly apparent at the Munich Security Conference that several prominent Democrats, many of them viewed as potential 2028 presidential contenders, struggled to answer even basic foreign policy questions. Critics noted that, regardless of where one stands on Republican foreign policy positions, GOP leaders tended to speak with clarity, confidence, and a defined strategy. The contrast, they argued, was striking. And according to Smith, that same lack of authority isn’t only limited to the international stage; it’s showing up at home as well.

"If you're going to act as juvenile, as petulant, as petty as you accused the president of the United States to be, how are you ever going to hold a high moral ground, at least high enough to judge him accordingly?" Smith asked. "If people on the right can turn and look at you and say, you're no better, you act no better, where's it going to get you? See, these are the kinds of things that end up getting people like myself and others in the news, because we're talking about getting things done. I've said repeatedly, and I'll state it again, and I'll make news by saying it again. I have no desire to be an elected official."

Maybe to some extent, but the majority of immature children are on the left today. All because of an election that didn't go their way.... Twice. I have empathy though.
