The Democratic Party is facing an “existential threat,” but it’s not the bad orange man. To paraphrase the comic strip “Pogo,” they have met the enemy, and it is them.

In trying to figure out what caused last week’s shellacking at the polls, some Democrats are crying, pointing fingers, having tantrums and meltdowns, and claiming the problem is that the party wasn’t “progressive” enough (How many men can you fit INTO a girl’s bathroom?!)

But other Democrats are trying to take the party back from the far-left loons and drag it back toward the center. They’ve sensed that catering to the lunatic fringe and its boutique “problems” while calling working class voters stupid bigots and Nazis for complaining about $7-a-pound butter wasn’t a smart election strategy.

Will they be successful in restoring common sense to the Democratic Party? It’s not looking good, if early reactions are any indication.

For instance, former staffers and interns of Rep. Seth Moulton are demanding an apology, and some LGBTQIA+++ activists even want his resignation over "offensive" remarks he made in an op-ed. Here’s what he said (Better cover the eyes of any children in the room):

He said the Democratic Party spends “way too much time trying not to offend anyone rather than being brutally honest about the challenges many Americans face. I have two little girls, I don’t want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete, but as a Democrat I’m supposed to be afraid to say that.”

I guess he should be afraid to say that if he wants to be a Democrat politician. He should join us over on the Republican side. We’ve been speaking obvious truths for years and not caring what lunatics say about us. It’s remarkably freeing.
