The Democrat Senator that almost nobody outside of Michigan even recognized who provided the response to President Donald Trump’s speech to a joint session of Congress tried to come across as a moderate during that speech as she has tried to attempt her entire political career in Washington. The former CIA employee, however, didn’t take long to shed that sheepish outfit and reveal herself as the hard left radical wolf that she really is. Typically, that’s the way true leftists are. They try to insert their radical agenda incrementally hoping that the average normies don’t notice, but once they think they are in the clear they start huffing and puffing like the true radicals they are, ultimately exposing who they really are. U.S. Senator Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) made recent comments about Trump voters on the leftist lady gabfest known as ABC’s The View that betrayed her attempt to cultivate an image as a moderate Democrat by challenging the intelligence of supporters of her political opponents.
As Fox News reported:
Democratic Sen. Elissa Slotkin was ripped by conservatives on social media on Tuesday after an interview where she likened President Donald Trump’s election to the “angry teenage years” of the United States where voter brains are still being formed.
“Representing a state here, people voted for Trump and voted for me, I have a responsibility to represent my entire state,” Slotkin said on ABC’s “The View.” “But I don’t think there’s anyone who feels like what’s going on right now is normal. Even if you voted for Trump, right?”
“I think there is a feeling in the country, and I often say this, you know, we’re about to turn 250 years old, right? We’re still pretty young for a country. These are, like, our angry teenage years. We are going through this push and pull where we’re happy, we’re sad. We want this, we want that, and what do you do when you have a teenager threatening themselves and others? You just try to get them through this period alive so that their brain can fully form and you can come back to kind of what,” Slotkin said before being cut off by Joy Behar.
It is fascinating that the tiny mind of Slotkin believes supporters of President Donald Trump are like teenagers who are too angry, immature and foolish to know what to think politically, but, if you take Slotkin’s comparison out to some logical conclusions, she radically believes with the rest of the Democratic Party that those same teens have plenty of maturity and brain development when it comes to life-altering surgeries and hormone procedures to their sex organs and still developing bodies that are irreversible and that their ability to make those decisions which were planted into their heads by lefty teachers and entertainment characters are at such a revelatory level teens decisions regarding those matters must be hidden from their foolish old-fashioned parents.
Even The Hill which historically tends to mirror the lefty-ness of the lamestream legacy media, though I will admit they do have writers that have proven not to be completely out of their minds, reported with confusion about Slotkin’s recent remarks on “The View”:
The exchange came during a discussion about Rep. Al Green’s (D-Texas) disruption during Trump’s address before a joint session of Congress. The moment led to the congressman getting censured and divided many Democrats over whether his actions were appropriate.
Some have argued Green crossed the line and made Trump look even more presidential by engaging in what they describe as petty behavior. Others say that Green was right to call attention to the GOP spending cuts that nonpartisan estimates say will necessitate cuts to entitlement programs — even as the president pledges not to touch those benefits.
Slotkin was asked if she thinks the state of the country amounts to a “five-alarm fire,” as former Biden administration White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said recently.
“I think what the President is doing to our economy — you all just talked about it this morning — I mean, like, sorry, people may not know the federal budget. They know their own home budget, and they know exactly how much they’re spending,” Slotkin said in response.
“So I think whether it’s the economy, whether it’s our national security, right — cutting people who keep us safe, and then handing over places like Ukraine to a guy like Putin — or our democracy, right — threats to who we are as a democracy — I think that we are absolutely in extraordinary times and it requires an extraordinary response,” she added.
Slotkin, the co-hosts of “The View,” and the Democratic Party in general don’t understand that their attack tactics are no longer working. They only understand their bubble, and since on the House floor during Trump’s speech they saw the antics of the Democrats acted out “passionately,” they think Americans can somehow relate to that and will turn against Trump and the GOP in response.
Then, like Slotkin’s remarks, it all backfires, and they can’t figure out what happened, or why it happened. They don’t see the hypocrisy, the disjointed arguments, and the inconsistencies. They don’t understand that outbursts like Al Green’s don’t make them look like revolutionaries, but that things like that make it look like they are throwing temper tantrums. They are arguing as if they are resisting “The Man,” but the reality is that they have been at the top of the heap for so long in places way beyond the Capitol they don’t understand that in reality the American People see Trump as the revolutionary. He’s the one going against the establishment, The Man, and the elites…not them.
To “counter the President” they don’t realize that their juvenile activities aren’t working anymore. If they are going to be able to grasp onto any relevance ever again they need to be able to compete in the arena of ideas. They have to prove Trump’s ideas are contrary to what’s best for America and then provide an alternative that people believe is better. Instead, they are reacting to everything Trump is doing, resisting every move Trump and the Republicans make, and in doing so they are opposing positions that 80% of Americans generally agree with and they are huddling in some dark corner with a radical leftwing ideology that less than 20% of the people believe is good for America in the future.
One wonders…are these the days of the beginning of the end of the Democratic Party’s hard left antics? Can they survive as a political party if they don’t reassess their positions and abandon the fringe hard-left radical wing of their party?
