Democrat Addiction to Melodrama, Violent Rhetoric, Infantilism and Profanity

Democrats just lost everything. They control nothing. They … don’t control the House, the Senate, the White House [or] the Supreme Court. So now is the time to break some shit and break some China [boldface added].

                                                            Former Biden Press Secretary Jen Psaki, 2/13/25

No one likes violence, but sometimes violence is necessary. When Elon Musk forces his way into the U.S. Treasury and threatens to steal your personal information and your Social Security check, there is a possibility of violence. … Sometimes the devil will act so ugly that you have no other choice but to get violent and fight [all boldface added].

Alleged Tennessee Baptist Pastor Rev. Steve Caudle, 2/11/25

This will be a congressional fight, a constitutional fight, a legal fight, and on days like this a street fight.  Yes, we will stand [all boldface added].

CNN Anchor Anderson Cooper response to former Republican governor’s correct claim that Biden had spent FEMA money on illegal migrants, 2/12/25

Congressman Robert Garcia hilariously trolls Elon Musk during a [DOGE] hearing by saying that he brought a “dick pic” to show everyone — before holding up a photograph of the MAGA billionaire [Elon Musk].

The Daily Kos, 2/14/25

For years, Democrats … pushed the absurd claim that democracy was about to die if [Trump were] elected president.  [Voters didn’t buy] it. In 2024, Trump won [the popular vote] and control of both houses of Congress.  Rather than [rethink their failed rhetoric], Democrats … after the election, announced a new “constitutional crisis” surrounding Elon Musk’s effort to downsize the federal government [via] the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). … The same media that carried the breathless accounts of the imminent death of democracy with the last election are now running “constitutional crisis” articles with many of the same “experts.” Despite Trump repeating that he “will abide by the courts” … NPR insisted that Trump’s circle [says it’s] “willing to ignore court orders.”  During his first term, Trump lost cases, as did his predecessor, Obama, and successor, Biden, but he complied with those rulings. … For many citizens, what’s most striking is not Trump’s actions, but how Democrats are seeking to prevent the very reforms [most] voters supported.

GWU Law Professor and Constitutional Law expert Jonathan Turley, 2/13/25

[P]oliticians and pundits are in a monstrous mood. The same people who spent the last year declaring the imminent death of democracy if Trump were elected now insist the real threat is the “monster” he has unleashed on the federal bureaucracy: Elon Musk.  … Democrat politicians now [absurdly] claim that reducing government is … destroying government. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) [absurdly] yelled dramatically to an outdoor crowd … that Musk’s government efficiency efforts are “taking away everything we have.” … For decades, both Democratic and Republican presidents have run on reducing government and making it more efficient. But everyone knew that such campaign pledges would be quickly discarded after the election.  What is so terrifying this time is that Musk means it. We know that because he has done it before.

“How the Left makes Monsters of us All,” Jonathan Turley, 2/10/25

[T]he [American] people are … weary [of] all of these psychodramas and melodramas.  They’re starting to see them as substitutes for substantive criticism or substantive discussion.  [W]hen you have nothing to say about [Donald Trump’s] border policy or his new Jacksonian foreign policy, you revert back to form.  That’s what we’re seeing right now [because] the Left is out of ideas. They’re like an addict … fixated on their next … melodrama. [T]hey know [that this is] destroying them [and] that people want substantive debate.  They know they can’t [provide] that because they’re on the losing end of that argument.  They know they should not continue with these psychodramas, the strife, strident, invective, [but] they can’t stop. Like a zombie addict, they can’t stop. … “They’ve … learned nothing.”

Stanford Professor of History Victor Davis Hanson, 2/13/25

Democrats cannot have it both ways. They are either against waste and fraud sucking up taxpayer dollars or they are for it.  [T]heir relentless attacks on Musk and DOGE make it clear which side they’re on:  Not the side of the taxpayer [boldface added]. … The ever-helpful leftist media also opposes Musk’s investigations, of course. … [A]n abundance of proof exists [that] Democrats and their media allies just don’t want to look for all the fraud and waste, and certainly don’t want you to see it.

Liz Peek, The Hill, 2/24/25

Gallup poll:  Biden is the least popular living US president.  [He] is viewed unfavorably by a whopping 57% of Americans, whereas just 39% had a favorable opinion of him.  … The high point in Biden’s favorability was 61% in January 2017, near the end of his vice presidency [but his] ratings steadily declined every month after his inauguration in January 2021 [boldface added].

                                    New York Post, 2/11/25

[Trump’s] agenda is popular.  Most of what he’s done for the first 3 weeks, past 70-30, it’s very popular.  If people were just going on his policies, his approval rating would be even higher. It’s higher than most 2nd term presidents at this [point].

American Journalist, former ABC News Director, MSNBC, Bloomberg News, Mark Halpern, 2/13/25

            Normally the Democrats and the Democrat Party Propaganda Collective or DPPC (aka the “Mainstream” or “Legacy” media) try to promote the impression that, unlike those evil Republicans and MAGA (Trump Republicans), they are really sweet, reasonable, peaceful and inclusive defenders of democracy.    Unfortunately, after stupidly making Trump a martyr by persecuting him in a series of transparently political prosecutions over 8 years and attempts to bankrupt him, and then making a series of even more stupid decisions in the 2024 election, first by rigging the process for forgetful grandpa Joe, and then kicking poor old Joe out and rigging it for joyful cackling clueless Kamala, leading to massive across the board losses in the election, they now find themselves in a self-imposed darkness.  Unfortunately, true to form, and lacking any capacity either for common-sense or for self-reflection whatsoever, instead of formulating some popular polices and arguing for them rationally, they are lashing out with infantile profanity, threats of violence and the usual Democrat and DPPC melodrama and psychodrama.  Democrats can never just try to solve a problem.  It always has to be hysteria and the end of the world.

            The reasons are obvious.  Musk and DOGE are discovering massive Democrat Party waste, fraud and abuse that when exposed will infuriate the taxpayers.  Therefore, they don’t even want to talk about it.  This is not surprising because their beloved self-serving waste, fraud and abuse is simply indefensible.  As a consequence, they can only try to distract, sing silly songs, call people names, threaten, and just plain squeal.  However, the 2024 election shows that this doesn’t work anymore.  Just as a “zombie [drug] addict” knows that they should quit their drug, but cannot, the Democrats literally cannot do quit the hysteria.  At this point, they know nothing else. 

            It is, finally, worth pointing out that the DPPC, by protecting the Democrats all these years in an effort to help them win elections, as they recently protected Biden and Harris, have enabled the Democrats to become over-confident, disconnected from the voters, self-deceptive and incoherent.  Great job, DPPC!

  1. I especially liked Prof. McDonough’s introductory quotation from Victor Hanson who has been one of my favorite commentators for a long time. On this issue of waste, fraud, and corruption, the Dems clearly are not handling the issues in a mature fashion. These inspections by Musk are laying bare many excesses that can be laid at the feet of the Dems, but clearly the patterns of fraud and mismanagement (no management!) have been growing for decades. Careful management of public funds has clearly been lacking in Republican as well as Dem administrations. Of course the waste and corruption related to so-called “woke expenditures” are of recent vintage, but the lack of accountability uncovered so far is likely, I believe, to have grown steadily under both parties. These inspections Dems should be taking this gracefully as an opportunity as a unified government to together root out waste and fraud. If they reached out the hand of welcoming unity, they would not be seen as bad losers but as patriots.

  2. But they are not patriots. They are sore losers.
    We listened to their moaning and groaning for eight, long years.
    We were robbed blind by their poor election choices and their inability to lead.
    Kick a donkey. Party of jackass.
