The wacky results of Dem control
The midterm elections are only weeks away. The Democrats are in complete control of the House, Senate, and presidency. Donald Trump's name appears nowhere near a November ballot. Yet the only things Democrats talk about are the former president and his "Make America Great Again" voters. It is as if Joe Biden's and Nancy Pelosi's political troops have no interest in touting their successes in opening the Southern border to endless illegal immigration, promoting divisive lockdowns and "vaccine" mandates, passing a Green New Deal spending extravaganza, encouraging transgender drag queen shows for elementary-schoolers, emptying prisons of criminals, eliminating cash bail for felony arrests, leveraging Americans' pain at the gas pump to push them into expensive electric vehicles, or presiding over the highest rates of inflation in over forty years. They've accomplished so much in such little time! Maybe their campaign slogan could be "Making Americans Poorer and Less Secure for Their Own Good" or "Vote Democrat: Because We Know Better."
Or maybe the Democrat party realizes that its policy "successes" have caused so much pain for the American people that the only path to continued power consists of cynically demonizing half the country as "extremists," "insurrectionists," and "terrorists" who must be defeated at any cost. For a nation not engaged in violent civil war, it sure sounds as if 75 million Trump voters have been officially declared the enemy. Senator Mazie Hirono says pro-life Americans who oppose abortion are "literally a call to arms." Representative Hank Johnson says parents attending school board meetings to protest racist, sexualized, and Marxist indoctrination disguised as academic curricula are part of a "coordinated attack happening across the country." Ohio Senate candidate Tim Ryan says, "We've gotta kill and confront" MAGA "extremists." Department of Homeland Security chief Alejandro Mayorkas claims that the country's biggest national security threats come from "domestic extremists" who are "radicalized" by "anti-government sentiment" or "false narratives propagated on online platforms." Chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Mark Warner commemorated the twenty-first anniversary of the 9/11 Islamic terror attacks by equating those heinous acts with the January 6 Capitol protests. And all of these pronouncements targeting ordinary Americans as enemies come after President Biden stood before a red-drenched Independence Hall in Philadelphia on the first of September and all but "declared war" on MAGA Americans, repeatedly labeling them a "danger" and "threat" to "democracy." Yikes! The war on MAGA is real!

Democrats have decided to demonize rather than argue policy differences. Such demonization looks like a lazy way to argue against policies they disagree with.
