Right now Democrats are publicly debating the reasons for their electoral implosion. I use the word “debating” rather loosely, since being a leftist requires a great deal of self-censorship. Democrats can discuss fellow cult members’ obsession with chemically castrating children only so much before the great priests of the party denounce them as “transphobic.” Only a few morsels of truth about the mass invasion of foreign nationals can be articulated out loud before a faithful adherent of the open borders liturgy rises with indignation, extends a long finger in the speaker’s direction, and condemns the apostate a “hateful bigot.” No-one who wishes to remain in good standing with the Democrat church would dare question the crippling effects of “green energy”-induced inflation. Challenging the all-important “climate change” cannon is strictly verboten.

So, in the op-ed pages of the failing New York Times and during the prime-time group therapy sessions broadcast from the bankrupt studios of CNN and MSNBC, Democrat operatives tiptoe around many taboo subjects while suggesting to their fellow congregants that the Democrat party must atone for its loss of earthly power. Influential clergymen from Barack Obama’s own “woke” order have even gone so far as to publicly confess the commission of what is by far the gravest Democrat sin: “We’re losing the culture war.”
Egad! That’s the one war Democrats are unwilling to lose! They must be perceived as the “cool” ones at all times. So imperiling is the prospect of surrendering their reputation for being hip and trendy that Democrats will do anything to remain relevant. Smug pretentiousness doesn’t look sexy when you’re constantly being depantsed in viral videos and on social media. Glib aloofness looks a lot like stupidity when ignorant celebrities can’t hide behind their pop-culture mystiques and glamour shots.
If Democrats aren’t in charge of the culture, they can’t be in charge of anything else for long either. Without a monopoly over the haute couture of fame and public adulation, they are no more than an odd collection of doomsayers, snake oil salesmen, carnival barkers, streetwalkers, has-beens, pseudo-intellectuals, hormone-raging adolescents, and empty suits. If the public sees them as they actually are, they will never be allowed to hold power again. It’s never good policy to let the inmates run the asylum. It’s downright deadly to give the inmates nuclear weapons and control over the economy.
Understandably, Democrats are freaking out about their loss of social prestige. They expected the public to defer to the wishes of noted climatologist (snark!) Greta Thunberg as she dictates to farmers across the globe what they can and cannot do with their private lands. They expected fearful citizens to obey the pandemic-loving Anthony Fauci’s every command. They expected women to vote for Kamala Harris because Taylor Swift endorsed her from a pyrotechnic-lit stage. They expected blue-collar workers to reject President Trump’s “America First” agenda because Robert De Niro wasted the last eight years playing an angry, old man with a single line: “F*ck Trump!” They expected Green Day’s hatred for MAGA voters to keep the “cool kids” caged on the Democrats’ soul-crushing plantation. Celebrities flooded the 2024 pop-culture space with anti-Trump histrionics, cringeworthy temper-tantrums, and a glut of Democrat party endorsements. The public tuned out all the noise and voted for Trump anyway.
