Can the Left Ever Stop Its Craziness?
American Greatness ^ | 19 Jun, 2025 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 06/19/2025 4:23:50 AM PDT by MtnClimber

The more the left rages, the more Trump rises—while Democrats trade policy for tantrums and canonize chaos in place of compromise.

California Senator Alex Padilla recently crashed a press conference by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. He deliberately wore no identification. He gave no advance warning that he would disrupt her briefing.

Instead, Padilla barged forward to the podium, shouting about the deportation of illegal aliens.

Immediately, Padilla got his media moment wish—once Secret Service agents, who had no idea who Padilla was, forcibly removed him.

Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) recently attempted a pseudo-filibuster, speaking nonstop for 25 hours straight—not to delay legislation, but to fixate on Donald Trump.

South Carolina Democratic state Representative Julie von Haefen just posted on social media an image of a bloody guillotine. It bore the title “In these difficult times, some cuts may be necessary” and was juxtaposed with an image of a hanging, beheaded Trump, who, a year ago, was the target of two failed assassination attempts.

The more Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and California Governor Gavin Newsom scream at Trump for nationalizing the California Guard to stop LA’s nightly violent anti-ICE protests, the more the two appear on the side of those who riot, destroy property, and attack police.

Yet who really wants to side with illegal aliens who spit on and burn American flags while waving Mexican flags?

Recently, some Democrats and leftists have romanticized Kilmar Abrego Garcia—an illegal alien, accused domestic abuser, gang member, and alleged human trafficker.

They also canonized illegal alien Mahmoud Khalil. But that pro-Hamas “student” helped organize and defend sometimes violent and antisemitic demonstrations at Columbia.

For some on the left, the assassin of a United Health Care CEO, the rich kid Luigi Mangione, has become a folk hero.

Communist governments often ignore the criminals and focus state power on destroying their political enemies.

Padilla got his media moment wish

I saw that fool's televised display of his narration of the event. What an idiot. They're not just mentally ill, they're stupid. And, the left will never abandon crazy. That's their program.

This is our thorn in the flesh and we'll never rid ourselves of them. We have to be vigilant to never give up the fight against liberalism if America is to endure.

Because the Left prohibits dissenting voices, prohibits criticism of itself, and demands ideological lockstep, it is doomed to continue further into the abyss.

It’s hard to know who the Democrat base is at this point.

It’s not the working people.
It’s not young people.
It’s not men.

The Democrats seems to have a core set of values:

Illegal immigrants are more important than US citizens.
Transgenders are more important than normal people.
Racism is good if it’s directed against whites.
Anything that hurts America is good.

I think the Democrats depend on the mentally ill. And if the Democrats abandon their insane policies, they will lose their base.

Sociopaths are the backbone of the DIMocRAT party.

Read up on sociopaths...it explains much of what is occurring.

Most people cannot believe that sociopathy is so widespread and embraced by many.

The Democrat Party is full of aggressively stupid people. They play the Villain and Victim game with every issue. Their problem is that normal people don’t believe anything they say.

Ping! Out to the Victor Davis Hanson list

Trump talks nonstop about protecting the middle class. Unions like him; Wall Street mostly despises him.
Trump wants to deport as many illegal alien criminals as possible. But he is willing to consider green cards for unlawful aliens who are working, crime-free, and with long residence in the U.S.

Prof Hanson nails it! Trump offers solutions, the Left is just left crying in their beer and vapes.

Yeah, except it isn't really communism, it's what GWB started with the explicit trifecta of globalism, socialism and crony capitalism. This was to be effected by turning over US power, wealth and US sovereignty to internationalist bodies, like WEF, the EU, WHO, NWAR, and a host of NGOs.

Further undermining US sovereignty required destroying the bond between the state, the people and geography through cultural and racial replacement. It worked in a number of places. Fortunately it failed here, partly because Trump became President, and reasserted US sovereignty, which means the power of the executive to fight enemies foreign and domestice.

The real war is between the US as a sovereign state to serve the welfare of the US citizenry ver all of those trying to destroy that for one reason or another. Thus we have bureaucrats, domestic and foreign making invoking the power of the state against recalcitrants who decide to cook family meals on a gas stove, or the bearers of mechanical skills who must be suppressed because the need to haul their tools and material and workmen around in a Ford F-150 rather than use public transportation. Create 15 minute cities and we can fix all of that, the idiot globalist bureaucrats who have never changed a light-bulb decree. We are watching the unraveling of a world-wide plot by the incompetent against the competent.
