The redoubtable, the almost-National Treasure, Victor Davis Hanson, thought the Dems didn't have an agenda, but then decided they did.
He found Ten Democratic Party agenda items that he sets out in the above clip, which starts tat 17:42.
My brief summary of them:
1. Trump is Hitler-Mussolini: president Donald J Trump is a dictator and we must oppose him, everywhere, everytime, on every issue, no matter the policy. By extension Elon Musk is equally evil and his achievements in Electric Vehicles, Rockets, Social Media, Satellite Internet, Neuralink, and so on, all these we must ignore.
2. Open Borders good; policing borders, bad. ICE is wrong. Because Open Borders are right. And so, therefore, are Sanctuary Cities (600 at last count) correct. We support them all.
3. Hamas, you go! We love Radical Palestinians and positively hate Democratic Israel. [This is a view now held by 70% of the Dems].
4. Keep on spending like drunken sailors: There should be no cuts in the Federal Budget, no matter the program, and no matter the size of the deficit, currently $1.7 Trillion a year, adding to the $37 Trillion Debt, nearing 130% of GDP. Doge, the cost-cutting agency, must be resisted no matter the program, no matter the waste.
5. Keep on warring: Ukraine must be supported to the last Ukrainian. "Whatever it takes". Peace must not be supported unless Putin is driven out of every last inch of land he occupies since 2022.
6. Selective Racism: this is a good thing. DEI should never have been cut. We must restore it, even if under a different guise.
7. Violence Good: The Democratic Party and its members must be more radical in their opposition to the Trump agenda. We must be more violent. We cheer Gavin Newsom and his recent: "I'll punch the sons a bitches in the mouth". Remember the anti-Tesla violence; wrecking cars, bombing showrooms, torching charging stations… and not a single Democrat called it out.
8. New ghetto Party leadership: We love the new ghetto shape shifter Jasmine Crockett as leader of our Party. Our new spokesman. She of the potty mouth and quick slur.
9. Swear like a bl$@t trooper: Tied to the above: we must use swear words whenever we can. It makes us sound "earthy" and in touch with the common man.
10. Chaos, chaos, we love thee: We have to create chaos. Because only by creating chaos will there be a chance to unsettle the Trump agenda, and to reclaim power. Which after all is the aim. To "save Democracy"
And... To Gain Power! Most of all, to gain power.
I would add to VDH's list, one more Democratic Agenda item:
11. Criminals good: Always side with the criminal and never with the victim.
Look at the Luigi Mangione case. He casually murdered Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare. With no cause. But Mangione is flooded with money and sympathy. None for the victim's family.
Look at the case of Austin Metcalf, the teenage white boy killed by a knife to the chest by a young black boy Karmelo Anthony. A go-fund-me campaign has raised over half a million dollars for thekiller. None for the victim.
Look at the sympathy for Harjinder Singh the illegal immigrant truck driver who killed a family of three.
Look at the sympathy for Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a twice convicted criminal, gang member, wife beater and human trafficker.
Look at the resistance to Trump's crackdown on crime in the National Capital, where the Left are incensed that he's managed to bring murder and violent crime rates under control.
They're openly siding with crime.
Weird.
