You hear it everywhere every day.
“This is an existential threat to our Democracy!”
“This is an existential threat to society!”
“MAGA, Trump, Musk, DOGE are all an existential threat to everything and everyone everywhere!”
So scream the Howling Banshees who nest in the Democratic Party. Their screeds and torments fill the air, the “news”, and echo in the halls of hypocrisy in the nation’s Capital.
After their second and most traumatic election loss to Donald Trump, a new mental illness was coined for them: Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). It has since spread and infected the intellectually flaccid, morally bankrupt, and aggressively ignorant with the speed of an actual pandemic.
Never has a political party said so much with so little to offer. Lacking any vision for the future or anything remotely appealing to American voters, Democrats have, instead, doubled down on the cult-like mania that has taken control of their Party and the segment of society that identifies with them.
With no defining philosophy, principles, or acknowledged leadership, the perennial Party of Chaos is struggling to find a marketable message while searching for a charismatic and articulate leader.
Demographic polling indicates the Democratic Party’s foremost advocates are “Suburban Women”. If accurate, that explains the “All emotion – No Intellect” content of their collective comments and vacuous statements about anything “policy”; a pre-menopausal, Suburu-driving housewife would be a perfect fit. Reason, Logic, and Critical Thinking are not required. Or wanted. Combustible adrenalin and estrogen will do fine. With some irony, this would not disqualify Tim Waltz.
Winning?
Winning every election is not the Democrat’s primary goal; it’s the only goal. Comparing the 4 year Biden train wreck with the first few months of Trump 2.0 confirms that Democrats are “policy bankrupt”. If anything, the Democrats have defined themselves as the Party of Hate. For over a decade, anyone disagreeing with anything Liberal was automatically labeled a Racist, Xenophobe, Misogynist, or Transphobic. Rather than juggle so many ad homonyms, “Hitler” became the all-encompassing insult; “Nazis” in the plural. So much and so many to hate, but nothing to love. Thus the Democrat Dilemma: how to attract a majority of voters who’ve been called “Hitler” and “Nazis” for years? Even current Democrat “leaders”, most notably CA Governor Newsome, agree: the “Democrat Party brand is toxic.”
What to do?
“All Hate - All The Time! Never Miss an Opportunity to Slur, Demean, Ridicule, and Project!” is not a chapter from Dale Carnegie’s best-seller. Add to the rhetoric, the absence of any positive policy concepts. Democrats have morphed into the Knights of Walpurgis, the hovering “Death Eaters” of Harry Potter movies. Like Nature, Politics abhors a vacuum as well as a moron. Due to the abundance of the latter in their midst, Democrats are desperate to find a new way, a new “brand” that will restore their previous Winning Ways!
The Solution
Coaches and Personal Trainers often say “Play to your strength!”, “Do what you do best!”, “If you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life!” Taking a cue from these old clichés, Democrats can find their way out of their self-created “wilderness”.
And so…
The old “Democratic Party” re-brands itself: the new “Existentialist Party”! No plans, policies, or platforms needed! The new Party’s direction will be decided after Republicans announce theirs. Whatever that may be, the new Existentialists will work to do the exact opposite - unless something else comes along when they’ll “existentially” change to that!
The old Democrat Party had no “policies” per se; everything they claimed to be doing was a cover for what they actually did. The “Green New Deal” wasn’t green, new, or a deal – except for the Democrats and FOJs who were in on the scam. Similar boondoggles camouflaged as the “Inflation Reduction Act”, “American Rescue Plan”, and “Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act”, worked perfectly – as boondoggles, adding trillions to the national debt while laundering taxpayer dollars for the already Rich and Infamous criminals infesting Congress, NGOs, K Street and similar hang-outs within the Logic Free Zone.
Without question, Democrats have nothing to offer but rage and fanaticism. They have never been more strident, more authoritarian, and more insane, even as the empire crumbles. This is existential for them. There is nothing they won’t say, no lie they won’t tell. They have become an army of robots who all think, speak, and vote exactly the same way. Mass formation psychosis is their new normal. (h/t Sasha Stone)
So why argue with Success? The toxic old ways worked so well, why struggle to concoct something new that will support the Government’s obligation to protect citizens’ pursuit of life, liberty, private property, free trade, and free choice? Like the old Democrats, the new Existentialists, changing immediately into something different without really changing, will happen quicker than you can say “This is CNN”!
In harmony with its name, the Existentialist Party will replace and reform the Rule of Law with simple, cost-cutting Magic Slates. Rather than get bogged down like DJT with pesky District judges, TROs, Lawfare, regulations, and legislation, all government actions will be written or removed and immediately replaced with something more accommodating than stogy old laws written by Old Dead White Guys with those inconvenient legal precedents that last for years, especially when the Supreme Robes get involved. Here is Instant Gratification! What’s not to like?
Similar treatment will be afforded the US Constitution. Since the old Democratic Party so successfully ignored the guard rails and restrictions on Government enshrined there, using the same Magic Slate mentioned above will be No Problem-o!
The new Existentialist Party will be warmly welcomed by those old Democratic Party supporters: the Suburu-driving Suburban Housewives! The “No Haggle” advantage of the Magic Slate process will be particularly appreciated. No more waiting, arguing, and wondering what some SCOTUS gaggle may decide! Whatever the issue, the verdict will be written on the Magic Slate. If Existentialist Party supporters oppose it – ZIP! It disappears and a new more agreeable judgment is put in place. Think “Existentialist Anarchy”!
Some readers may be thinking the Existentialist Party and practices are absurd, even more absurd than the old toxic Democrat Party. For the skeptical, here is an example of just how efficiently a trial can be conducted once the new Existentialist Party steels is in power:
As for an “articulate, charismatic Leader”, Sen. Corey Booker (D-NJ), “a tireless worker for New Jersey”, recently demonstrated his compelling bona fides taking to the floor of the Senate (“with little fanfare”) and speaking 25 hrs, 5 mins about absolutely nothing for no particular reason – except: “He knew Democratic voters were desperate for it.” (NBC “News”)
Combining Opportunistic with Existentialistic gave Booker the 2-fer “break out” moment he needed to stomp his name on the title “Leader of the new Existentialist Party”. Saying nothing about nothing for just over a day, seamlessly changing from one irrelevant subject to another, interspersed with wandering sidebars, dramatic head wipes, with facial expressions right out of Central Casting was a political theater trifecta! That he accomplished all this, plus fawning national MSM coverage at no cost whatsoever, sealed his future!
With mid-term elections approaching, watch for a national press conference to announce the end of the irredeemable old Democratic Party and the establishment of the new Existentialist Party! As moronic as Idiocracy! As compassionate as Kleptocracy! As expensive and more exclusive than Oligarchy! The same quality people in a Kakistocracy!
The new Existentialist Party - Emotional not Constitutional.
Democrats exit the Wilderness as Existentialists For America (for now)!
