Democrat members of Congress and their sock puppets in the left-wing media hyperventilated throughout the 2024 presidential election campaign, warning that democracy in America would die a quick and painful death if Joe Biden or Kamala Harris wasn't elected president.
Which would mean, of course, that the Devil incarnate — the evil Donald Trump — would again usurp dictatorial power and promptly end America as we know it.
Voters, of course, didn't buy it, leading to a decisive win for President Donald Trump in both the Electoral College and popular vote, along with Republican control of both chambers of Congress.
So rather than take a long, hard, honest look at themself and their radical policies, the Democrats have foolishly continued to double down — bigly. Now, everything Trump or a Trump official says or does is DEFCON 1 on the left, and a new "constitutional crisis" is declared every 10 seconds.
Just one problem. It isn't working. Just like it didn't work prior to the election.
In a Wednesday op-ed for the New York Post titled "Dems exhaust the last of their credibility with a false Trump ‘constitutional crisis,’" noted law professor and political commentator Jonathan Turley compared the Democrat Party rushing to declare virtually everything Trump-related to a "constitutional crisis" to the phrase, "jump the shark." Turley wrote:
Forty years ago, a radio personality coined the phrase “jump the shark” in reference to the episode of the sitcom “Happy Days” in which the character Fonzie (Henry Winkler) jumps over a live shark on water skis. The term is often applied to dying franchises that turn to sensational language or scenes to try to revive the fading interest of the public. More often, you jump the shark and land in utter obscurity.
This week, the Democratic Party jumped the shark.
Spot-on.
Moreover, Democrats have jumped the shark in their attacks against Trump for close to 10 years. From the 2016 "Russia collusion" hoax to the Hunter Biden laptop "Russian plot" to two ridiculous impeachment show trials and beyond, TDS not only continues to run deep on the left; it continues to worsen the better Trump does and the more the American people keep winning.
RELATED DEMOCRAT NONSENSE:
The Constitution Isn’t Having a Crisis, but the Democrat Party Sure As Heck Is
Turley recounted several examples of the ongoing insanity.
After the election, politicians and pundits announced a new “constitutional crisis” surrounding the effort to downsize the federal government led by Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Kris Mayes, the attorney general of Arizona, declared this week, “We are on the brink of a dictatorship, and America has never been in a more dangerous position than she is today.”
The same media that carried the breathless accounts of the imminent death of democracy with the last election are now running “constitutional crisis” articles with many of the same “experts.”
Despite Trump repeating that he “will abide by the courts” while appealing opposing decisions, NPR insisted that Trump’s circle has indicated it is “willing to ignore court orders and defy judicial authority.”
During his first term, Trump repeatedly lost cases — as did his predecessor, Barack Obama, and successor, Biden — but he continued to comply with those rulings.
There's an old axiom that bears repeating here.
Democrats couldn't care less whether conservatives believe them, know they're lying, or are aware of the games they're playing and why they're playing them. What they very much do care about is convincing low-information, lemming-like, rank-and-file Democrat voters that they're telling the truth.
Just one more problem.
A growing percentage of Democrat voters aren't buying the lies anymore — including Black and Hispanic voters who crossed party lines in November and voted for Trump.
'We Have the Oldest and Most Stable Constitutional System in History'
That's a fact, wrote Turley.
The fact is that we have the oldest and most stable constitutional system in history. It has repeatedly survived challenges from political to economic meltdowns that would have destroyed other systems.
That Madisonian system relies on an independent judiciary, including Trump appointees who regularly ruled against the Trump administration, including on the Supreme Court.
For many citizens, what is most striking is not Trump’s actions, but how Democrats are seeking to prevent the very reforms that a majority of voters supported.
Turley's last observation above is a reality that continues to confound the Democrat Party.
Ever-smug congressional fools like Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, far-left Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), and others, continue to lose their minds, both in the halls of Congress and in front of every TV camera they can find, as they absurdly wail against this "constitutional crisis" and that "constitutional crisis" — to the point of pathetic theatre.
Meanwhile, President Trump and his equally incredible team continue to take demonstrative actions as they carry out Trump's campaign promises.
And the Democrats? Why they just can't deal, bless their hearts.
