Coming Election Cycles Look Bad For Democrats

Democrats are in a ton of trouble when it comes to their own voters, as support for the party has fallen to historic lows.

A report from Politico, which dug into the recent polls, showed disaster for the Democrats, with the news organization saying the 
left-wing party should be "very afraid."

"Congressional Democrats have typically enjoyed higher popularity with their voting base than their Republican counterparts. But 
the trauma of the 2024 presidential election defeat appears to have ruptured that relationship. A review of Quinnipiac 
University's annual first-quarter congressional polling reveals that, for the first time in the poll's history, congressional 
Democrats are now underwater with their own voters in approval ratings," Politico said.

The poll showed that 49 percent of Democrat voters disapprove of congressional Democrats while only 40 percent approve.

It is even worse when juxtaposed to last year when 75 percent of their voters approved of them while only 21 percent disapproved.

Politico compared the Democrat collapse to that of the Republican Party before Donald Trump and the MAGA movement came along on 
the heels of the Tea Party movement that preceded it.

What is worse for Democrats is that their voters do not know if they want to move left or right. A recent Gallup poll showed that 
45 percent want the party to be more moderate, whereas 29 percent preferred a more liberal approach, and 22 percent wanted to 
keep the status quo.

The anger with the party from its voters is that there does not appear to be the same effort to "resist" Trump as there was 
during his first term.

This all came to a head when Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer of New York and other Democrats voted for cloture on a 
government funding bill that allowed Republicans to pass the legislation.

The report suggests that longtime Democratic leaders could face serious challenges during the primary season, as incumbents could 
lose to a new candidate.

"There are 13 Democratic-held Senate seats up for reelection next year - many of them involving veteran senators in the bluest 
states - raising the prospect of a stream of younger, insurgent candidates more closely aligned with the party base, similar to 
what the GOP has contended with over the past 15 years," Politico said.

"A handful of liberal groups have already called for Chuck Schumer to step down as party leader after voting last week for a GOP 
stopgap funding bill. Democratic House members have also felt the sting of grassroots rage in recent days at town halls marked by 
testy exchanges with deeply frustrated liberal constituents," the outlet added.

Schumer has not had the support of some in his party that he used to be able to count on, Politico noted further.

He was criticized by former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for his controversial vote with Republicans to prevent a government 
shutdown.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition

All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike 
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."

Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into 
three distinct phases or stages:

"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm, 
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."

"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting 
solely of hyperbole."

"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."

The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything 
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something 
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received 
positively by TDSers.

The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was 
a punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.

Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles 
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people 
in reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
