LIZ PEEK: Donald Trump is our president and Democrats have no idea what to do

Democrats are successful freefall. 

As of Monday, Donald J. Trump is officially the 47th president of the United States. He starts his 2nd word successful the Oval Office with a bang – rolling retired dozens of enforcement orders fulfilling promises made to American voters -- and much fashionable than helium has ever been.

Democrats person nary thought however to respond. Their enactment is presently earning its lowest support ratings ever, for bully reason. It is blameworthy of perpetrating the top governmental ungraded of our lifetimes  -- pretending President Joe Biden was OK to tally for different 4 years. Their efforts to marque Donald Trump a menace to Democracy were a bust and their enactment is successful disarray. They merit each infinitesimal they service successful governmental purgatory. 

A erstwhile communications manager for Kamala Harris says Democrats "got to pain down our image." He’s right. 

TRUMP'S SECOND INAUGURAL ADDRESS WAS A TRIUMPH FOR HIM, AND FOR HIS SUPPORTERS

The party’s trials volition not extremity soon. As Trump takes office, helium and his squad volition radiance a spotlight connected Democrats’ dishonest efforts to barroom him from nationalist office, from bogus lawsuits aiming to enactment him successful jailhouse to the Russiagate hoax. The state wants accountability for those trying to censor right-wing voices and for hiding grounds of Biden household corruption.

In issuing pardons to immoderate of the miscreants, similar Anthony Fauci and Liz Cheney, Biden acknowledges their complicity. By extending pardons besides to galore Biden household members, Joe is each but admitting they aided and abetted the influence-peddling and pay-to-play activities led by Hunter Biden. What a shameful exit, reinforcing Biden’s lasting arsenic 1 of the astir unpopular presidents of each time.

Democrats present indispensable rebuild their spot with the American people.  They person mislaid favour (and elections) due to the fact that they don’t cognize what they basal for oregon who they represent. Joe Biden successful his farewell address talked astir a mysterious "oligarchy" of "extreme wealth, power, and power that virtually threatens our full democracy," but astir deliberation that’s the assemblage who threw a cardinal dollars into Kamala Harris’ campaign, lone to spot her lose.  

PRESIDENT BIDEN PARDONS HIS SIBLINGS JUST MINUTES BEFORE LEAVING OFFICE

Gallup reports that for the 3rd twelvemonth successful a row, somewhat much Americans place arsenic Republicans (or GOP-leaning Independents) than Democrats; they enactment that earlier 2022, "Republicans lone had a flimsy borderline erstwhile before, successful 1991." That is simply a important heads-up. 

The descent successful Democrat popularity has occurred chiefly amongst Hispanics, young adults, lower-income Americans, those without a assemblage degree, Catholics, and Black Americans. In short, Democrats are losing crushed with the precise groups they person relied connected to triumph elections for respective decades. Increasingly, the radical supporting Democrats are assemblage grads and radical with above-average incomes – the limousine wide set.  

Democrats are coming unglued adjacent arsenic the enactment is fracturing. Squabbling betwixt long-time enactment leaders similar Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi is embarrassing; 1 of Nancy Pelosi’s daughters precocious likened Joe’s woman Jill Biden to Shakespeare’s heartless and ambitious Lady MacBeth. That stings. 

The Pelosi-Biden divided is not conscionable astir personalities. It is besides astir the tremendous Democrat-led conspiracy that allowed Joe Biden to go president successful 2020 and that pushed for him to service a 2nd term, contempt his evident intelligence deterioration. Voters saw done the carefully-managed stagecraft that sought to fell Joe’s impairment. Even half-way done his word a bulk of the state thought helium was excessively aged to run. 

Incredibly, Joe Biden inactive thinks helium could person beaten Donald Trump, proving that helium has been kept successful the acheronian by the radical who situation him. This detachment from world showed up arsenic aboriginal arsenic 2021, erstwhile Biden and his woman participated successful a Christmas Eve call-in show. A caller naughtily told the Bidens, "Merry Christmas and Let’s Go Brandon," a fashionable and wide-spread slam against the president astatine the time. Biden, clueless, repeated the phrase, chuckling and saying, "Let’s Go Brandon, I agree", showing however retired of interaction helium was.

House Speaker Mike Johnson precocious described a gathering successful which helium pressed Biden connected wherefore helium had paused caller permits for LNG exports, lone to person the president contradict taking specified a measure. Johnson believed the president "genuinely didn’t cognize what helium had signed" and near the White House disquieted the federation is successful "serious trouble." 

Signs of Democrat weakness are everywhere. On the cusp of Trump’s inauguration, their efforts to repulse his furniture nominees look to beryllium failing; their nasty idiosyncratic attacks connected Pete Hegseth, acceptable to pb the Department of Defense, and Pam Bondi, apt to go our adjacent lawyer general, looked petty and mean-spirited alternatively than consequential. Equally distasteful has been the slew of last-minute lawsuits and enforcement actions issued from the White House, galore of which acceptable roadblocks earlier the incoming Trump administration.

Even the wide media is floundering, with galore starring organizations, including the Washington Post and Los Angeles Times, evidently reconsidering their relation arsenic Democrat propagandists.
