In the whirlwind of political discourse, it seems some folks just can’t handle a good presidential speech. President Trump’s exceptional address had everyone talking, but not always for the right reasons. Apparently, just the sight of him with proud American champions was enough to get some of his detractors all worked up. Imagine that—celebrating our Olympic heroes becomes a scandal. Democrats are evidently so busy critiquing that they miss the bigger picture. These athletes brought home gold after 46 years; you’d think that would merit a standing ovation across the political aisle. But alas, logical appreciation is overshadowed by what can only be described as an epidemic of Trump Derangement Syndrome among the Left.
On the matter of how the Democrats have swerved away from their own past stances, let’s take a trip down memory lane. There was a time when even Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, paragons of Democratic leadership, acknowledged the need for voter ID to prevent corruption. Today, it is bewildering to see Democrats fiercely opposed to measures they once supported. Such a shift is indicative of an unrecognizable party compared to its prior incarnations. Who would have thought the party of Bill Clinton now looks like it can’t find the middle of the road because it’s so far left?
The President’s speech expertly set the stage for a clear-cut choice in the upcoming elections. It’s pretty straightforward, really: support a government that prioritizes protecting its citizens or support policies that seemingly favor tens of millions of illegal immigrants over American safety and security. During the President’s commendation of American heroes, the Democrats chose to stay seated. What message does that send, other than an endorsement of open borders policies that have put innocent lives at risk? It’s almost as if they’re allergic to common sense.
Democrats showed their true colors by refusing to stand for victims of violence at the hands of illegal immigrants. From released criminals who go on to commit heinous crimes to dangerous drivers causing lifelong injuries, the Democrats’ lack of response was as shocking as it was revealing. It tells us who they are truly standing up for—and it isn’t for American families suffering due to lax immigration policies. The no-show support for these individuals was a blatant demonstration of where their priorities lie.
In the end, the Democrats handed Republicans a political gift on a silver platter. Through their inaction, they have painted themselves as the party of extreme policies and out-of-touch ideas, all while lacking the common sense solutions Americans are desperately seeking. Their unwillingness to even stand in unity for victims of crime exposes just how radical they have become. It’s a spectacle fit for the campaign trail, promising to be fodder that will definitely feature in the midterms as a blazing example of what not to support. The Democrats, in a sense, have done Republicans a favor by showing America who they truly are, and if anything, that might just help voters make a more informed decision come election time—thank you very much.
