Doomed Democrats Panic

Outside the Treasury Building last week, when prominent Democrats like Chuck Schumer and Maxine Waters openly sided with waste, corruption, and unaccountability against taxpayers, the cringe-inducing scene was emblematic of a party entrenched in opposition to the public:

As Gerry Baker puts it:

It was a tableau for the ages, one example of the many strange battle lines the Democratic Party has chosen to defend these past few years: illegal migrants over citizens, teachers unions over parents and children, criminals over victims, men-turned-women over girls.

At least they are consistent. Democrats always side against regular Americans.

Government is supposed to exist for the people, but the DOGE process has laid bare what we have long suspected—that at scale, it exists first and foremost to further the interests of the permanent bureaucracy and their like-minded friends who dominate almost all our major institutions.

What DOGE is doing to the Swamp needs to be extended by the rest of us to the entire liberal establishment:

The accountability DOGE can bring needs to be emulated in other areas of public life where these interests have long dominated, immune from responsibility: radicalized higher education, failing city governments, intellectually corrupt media and entertainment companies.

That would spell doom for Democrats.

Smelling their own extinction, they have succumbed to panic, committing political suicide by defending the indefensible USAID. Ed Morrissey comments:

You know who loves USAID and its unaccountable structure? The progressive Academia elite that run it and other less-than-responsive federal bureaucracies. Why? It appeals to their elitism, and the flow of money without accountability allows for massive manipulations and social engineering. …

You know who hates USAID and other less-than-accountable federal bureaucracies? Everyone else. Almost literally.

They do still have the support of federal bureauweenies. At a rally yesterday outside Capitol Hill,

Hundreds of federal workers gathered for the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) “Rally to Save the Civil Service.”

Rep Maxine Dexter (D-OR) was there to present her party’s pitch to the public:

The Trump Administration caught them by surprise when Musk switched on the kitchen light with his USAID revelations. Rather than retreat under the stove by pretending they didn’t know what was happening to our money, they wag their antennae belligerently. The instinctive reaction is to grab a can of Raid.

Democrats still have the entertainment industry to promote their public image. But as the respective responses to Donald Trump and Taylor Swift at the Super Bowl made obvious, that won’t be enough.
