Week 5 began this afternoon.
This is where the Democrats are at now.
“Several dozen Democratic political operatives had just gathered to discuss the party’s future at an upscale resort nestled along the Potomac River when the very first speaker unleashed a blistering address about the “hard truths” they needed to confront.
“Now is not the time for taking refuge in comforting platitudes,” said Jonathan Cowan, the president of the centrist group Third Way, which had organized the private event last week. “Now is not the time to bet on the other guys” messing up “so badly that we win simply by not being them.”
The remark, with a much coarser term than “messing,” reflected a deepening distress, shared by a wide range of Democratic strategists, lawmakers and donors, that the party is at risk of missing a critical window for introspection and reform in the aftermath of the devastating 2024 election.
The fear is that Democrats are squandering one of the few silver linings of losing: the chance to learn lessons from defeat. …”
“The demoralization and fear gripping blue America in the early weeks of President Trump’s administration have left liberal groups and their allies struggling for cash, hurting their ability to effectively combat the right-wing transformation of the federal government.
The small-dollar online spigot that powered opposition to the first Trump administration has slowed to a trickle as shaken liberal voters withhold their donations.
Charitable foundations that have long supported causes like voting rights, L.G.B.T.Q. equality and immigrants’ rights are pulling back, devoting time to prepare for expected investigations from the Republican-led Congress.
And some of the country’s biggest liberal donors have paused giving, frustrated with what they see as Democrats’ lack of vision and worried about retaliation from a vengeful president. Some Democrats say a few of their reliable donors are now openly supporting Mr. Trump, or at least looking to curry favor with him.
Fund-raising slowdowns are common after a presidential defeat and before marquee midterm races fully begin. But interviews with more than 50 donors, strategists and leaders of activist organizations show that many Democrats believe this year is different. …”
Compare to Trump’s first term.
Nothing much was going on at this point in 2017. MILO was being cancelled for defending pedophilia. Andy Puzder was losing his battle to be confirmed as Secretary of Labor. Michael Flynn was resigning as National Security Advisor. Richard Spencer was kicked out of CPAC. Antifa had started rioting at Berkeley. Trump’s honeymoon was already over and he was 5 points underwater.
sad old liberal boomers wanna be patriots all of the sudden lol
Interesting comparison between 2017 and now. It certainly feels much different this time around.
Back to the polls again! Believe the polls!
We need a revival of the House Un-American Activities Committee to deal with commie RAT POS vermin.
