Democrats Openly Refused to Learn 2024’s Lessons; America Will Refuse Them Right Back in the Midterms.

 

There was a time when political parties engaged in introspection after electoral defeats. Psephological autopsies–despite some of their stupidity–are scarcely novel.

 

But 2025’s Democratic Party appears insistent on bucking the trend of self-reflection, pressing on with its recently rejected extremist platform, promoting its most heinous abusers of the electorate as its most vocal spokespeople,and shoving in America’s face its losing mantra: We’re Not Going Back.

And America should, at least for once, believe the Democrats when they say this.

 

Instead of reevaluating strategies and/or even apologizing to the wider electorate, the party continues to champion policies and positions that alienated a record-breaking number of voters. During the 2024 election, nearly half of Hispanics supported Donald Trump despite the incessant racial pandering and fearmongering (or perhaps, better yet, as a result of them).

 

On cultural issues, the party’s stance is increasingly disconnected from mainstream America. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s “I’m not a biologist” moment still looms large in meme culture, and no one is “over” (nor should they be) how Democrats have championed men in women’s locker rooms for the past decade.

 

For all that Bill Maher and James Carville kick and scream in their own party’s direction, the answer from up top still comes back the same: We’re Not Going Back.

 

On immigration, the Democratic Party finds itself at odds with America again, opposing legislation aimed at deporting non-citizens convicted of crimes, most recently pledging to send emissaries to El Salvador to re-emigrate alleged MS-13 gangster Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

 

Whatever the squishiest amongst you argue of the so-called lack of “due process” behind Garcia’s removal, you will continue to find yourselves spitting into the wind as far as the American electorate is concerned. While data indicates the nation is increasingly quizzical when it comes to Trump’s tariff strategy and broader economic plan, his immigration numbers remain steady and favorable.

 

In January, 158 House Democrats voted against a bill that would have mandated the deportation of foreign-born criminals, which Republicans should freely clip from and cite in the impending mid term election battles. With a svelte majority, the GOP should be looking to go on the strategic offensive, rather than sit back and hope to maintain. At least by the right’s standards, the soil is fertile.

 

Finally, Democrats’ continued commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, coupled with a resistance to any internal leadership change which recognises the shortcomings of the party, gives Republicans a huge opportunity, if they’re smart enough and brave enough to take it: run on the last election.

 

The ad campaigns could literally hark back to November: “Hey, remember when you roundly rejected extreme Democrats and their radical agenda? insert Kamala cackle ==Well, guess what? They’re doubling down. Claiming they weren’t wrong, but you were. A party this obstinate and vengeful against America can’t be rewarded with success in the upcoming elections. Say no to the radical Democrats FOR GOOD until they change… FOR GOOD.”

 

You get the idea.

What to hell is going on with her neck?

 

Speaking of Bill Maher: What pissed me off about his recap of meeting Trump, he says "he would have never talked to Obama or Clinton the way he talked to Trump". He recited a lot of rude comebacks he said to Trump, but said that Trump would just laugh.He was actually saying he was much more disrespectful to Trump and would never do that to his idols. And he was acting as if they are equals.

Bill Maher Gets Into Fiery Spat With Reporter Who Questioned His Meeting With Trump

The Washington Post columnist accused Maher of having “fallen into the trap” by recently meeting with the president at the White House.

Bill Maher had a fiery exchange with Washington Post columnist Josh Rogin after the latter accused him of having “fallen into the trap” by recently meeting with President Donald Trump at the White House.

 

The pair’s spat came after Maher, a vocal Trump critic who has occasionally scolded the left-wing, told his “Real Time” audience during Friday’s episode that he had a “gracious and measured” dinner with Trump, Kid Rock, and UFC Head Dana White earlier this month.

 

“You can hate me for it, but I’m not a liar,” Maher told the crowd. “Trump was gracious and measured. And why isn’t that in other settings? I don’t know, and I can’t answer, and it’s not my place to answer. I’m just telling you what I saw, and I wasn’t high.”

 

A “mind-blown” Maher admitted that Trump’s residency in the White House isn’t as “fucked up” as he thought and applauded the president for his “willingness to listen and accept me as a possible friend even though I’m not MAGA.”

 

After Maher said that he reported on his dining experience with Trump “as honest as I can be” during a panel discussion later in the show, Rogin challenged him about the meeting, telling the “Real Time” host that while he believed he was in attendance in “good faith,” Trump might’ve had ill motives.

 

“I think you’ve fallen into the trap, and I think I represent 99% of the internet when I say this: you’ve played the game of proximity is principle,” Rogin said. “I’m not questioning your motivation; I’m questioning Trump’s, OK?”

 

Rogin then tried to ease the blow of his words by gushing over Maher’s talents, which apparently set the political commentator off.

 

“You don’t have to patronize me, dude. I don’t know you. I’ve never met you,” Maher fired back at Rogin. “Not everybody has to like it. That’s what we said.

There are people who didn’t want it to happen at all. You sound like one of them, it’s OK.”

 

After Rogin tried to talk over the comedian in response, Maher firmly replied, “Did you hear what I said? What is the alternative to not talking? Just sit at your lunch table and don’t talk to anybody?”

 

But Rogin didn’t let up, telling Maher, “I agree with the principle of engagement. I’m just saying from [Trump’s] perspective…all Americans know that for him this was a PR stunt, and in his view you were a prop in that PR stunt.”

 

Piers Morgan, another guest on the panel, cut in on the conversation to side with Maher.

“I don’t agree with that…If you go on social media for five minutes now, you just have this tribal fury raging all day long. Everyone’s got to be implacably there, implacably here, and actually, most Americans and most Brits; they’re not like that,” Morgan explained. “And then, the idea that Bill Maher is now going to stop criticizing Donald Trump… is preposterous!”

 

Elsewhere in the episode, Maher shut down Rogin’s take on his meeting with Trump.

 

“The fact that you began your little rant with ‘the internet’ ― that tells me everything. You take your cues from the internet. Good luck,” he told Rogin.

I love how pissed off the left is about Maher meeting with Trump and reporting it.Bill's audience that night were clapping and happy to hear he got along with Trump, and enjoyed the stories. The left feel like one of their hateful warriors turned on them.
