Sis-Boom-Bah! Rah, Rah, Rah!
Democrats are cheerleading for their malcontents
I never much liked the concept of cheerleaders, even when I played high school football. They are like the applause sign for a TV show’s live audience. However, either the show is so good that you don’t need applause lines or it sucks and maybe you shouldn’t broadcast the show—or play the game.
And yet here we are, progressives cheerleading for a game that’s already been played.
According to Rasmussen Reports’ Mark Mitchell, the Donald Trump Show is a great success. “Trump approval hit 54%, net plus-10, and on Thursday [2/13/25], right direction [i.e. the nation is moving in the right direction] tied the… all-time high. But here's what's crazy. Right direction exceeded wrong track by 1 point, which has never happened in our polling, ever.”
Stunningly, since electing Adolph Hitler incarnate, Americans like what they’re seeing. A wise Democrat Party would lay dormant, wait for a Trump mistake, and then start cheerleading their team. Wisdom, however, has not been a friend to Democrats in quite a while.
So, what the hell are the Democrats doing? Well, when they aren’t cosplaying a march on Selma singing their new versions of We Shall Overcome, they’re busy calling everyone who’s against them male appendages. I’m not a Pollyanna; I can curse with the best of them but why do they all have to deliver remarks with superlative expletives? For emphasis, I’m guessing, and playing down to their increasingly low I.Q. supporters.
Now, Elon Musk is Hitler—I’m sure Trump is relieved to have that moniker taken from him—and a dick. (The rumor is that Hitler had only one testicle; urban legend, maybe, but he fathered no children. Musk, on the other hand, has sired thirteen and hired Big Balls, which in and of itself, should be commended.)
Rep. Maxine Dexter (D-OR) shouted out, “I don’t swear in public very well, but we have to f**k Trump. Please don’t tell my children that I just did that.” Wow. Was that a proposition, Maxine? I’m pretty sure your kids heard it loud and clear. Idiot.
Then the pithy witticism from Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO) aimed at Musk: “We’re going to stand up, we’re going to speak out, we’re going to march, and anything we need to do… [yadda, yadda, yadda]… [Musk] go to Moscow, you musky moo moo moo.” It hasn’t been established whether he said musty moo moo moo or musky. I think we get where he may have been going with that. Maybe not.
“‘God d---it shut down the Senate!’ Rep. LaMonica McIver, D-N.J., said during an anti-DOGE protest in Washington, D.C. ‘We are at war!,’” she exclaimed as reported by Fox News Digital. The article further reported, “‘We are gonna be in your face, we are gonna be on your a--es and we are going to make sure you understand what democracy looks like, and this ain’t it,’ Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, added.” Ms. Crockett has also admitted to cheerleading for Mexico and Canada against the U.S.
Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) called Musk a dick at several stops, trying to get his fifteen minutes of fame. He told CNN, "I think [Musk is] also harming the American public in an enormous way… And what I think is really important and what the American public want is for us to bring actual weapons to this bar fight. This is an actual fight for democracy, for the future of this country."
And what I think is really important? he stated with a straight face. Firstly, I don’t know who the hell this guy is and so what he finds important is irrelevant; and sophomoric name calling is the right of idiots like me, not esteemed congressmen. Decorum is dead.
And then there’s the case of a pastor and comedian separately and openly calling for violence and assassination.
The pastor said during a sermon to his devotees:
“I’ll say to you, beloved, no one likes violence, but sometimes violence is necessary… When Elon Musk forces his way into the United States Treasury and threatens to steal your personal information and your social security check there is the possibility of violence…. Sometimes the Devil will act so ugly that you have NO CHOICE but to get violent and fight!”
The comedian said, as he casually strolled down the streets of New York:
“Listen, all the Elon/Trump stuff is getting to a point, man…somebody’s gonna have to just throw their life away on this… Just kind of take one for the team.
“Somebody’s just got to go in there and make history… You know who you are; just buck up and do your duty.”
The thing is that when they start calling for marches in the street and bringing weapons to the fight and to actually kill people, they are pushing for a civil war, which is something they have been hankering for during the last decade or so.
The Democrats claim that they have received marching orders from their constituents. Supposedly the “switchboards” have been overwhelmed by angry blue-hairs* screaming at the Democrats to do something. “‘Our member energy is high and this won't be the last any office hears from everyday Americans who want us to fight harder to push back,’ said Britt Jacovich, a spokesperson for MoveOn.” MoveOn.org is behind most dirty tricks associated with Democrat causes, often buying protestors, “their everyday Americans,” to send false signs of support from their “ardent” supporters.
Mary Small, leader of a group called Indivisible, has claimed that their members have made over 35,000 calls into both the House and Senate to scream their outrage into the ears of Democrat congressional staffers. “‘I'm not surprised members are experiencing a high volume of calls, because I think people are scared and are looking for leadership from Democrats on how to fight back,’ Small told Axios.” Indivisible is divisive and likely have their own rolodex of for-pay agitators. Robocalls are always so effective—and quite annoying.
For whom are the Democrats cheerleading?
According to the 2024 American Family Survey conducted by the Wheatley Institute, et. al., only twelve percent of progressive women surveyed felt “completely satisfied” with their lives. This finding is consistent with past studies done in 2020 and 2022. The 2022 study found high levels of depression among progressive-leaning high school girls.
By contrast, the American Family study found that thirty-seven percent of conservative women are “completely satisfied” with life. In its analysis, the Institute for Family Studies (IFS) also found that “liberal women ages 18 to 40 are much more likely to report frequent feelings of loneliness. Nearly one-in-three (29%) reported feeling lonely a few times a week or more. Conservative women, on the other hand, are much less likely to report feeling lonely, with just 11% feeling lonely a few times a week or more.”
IFS concluded that alienation experienced by left-leaning women was a result of fewer attachments through institutions such as marriage and religion.
Pew Research has identified that fifty-one percent of women are left-leaning while fifty-two percent of men are right leaning. Marriage, predictably, seems to be key.
Women who have never been married are three times as likely to associate with the Democratic [sic] Party as with the Republican Party (72% vs. 24%).
By a narrower – though still sizable – margin (61% to 37%), never-married men also favor the Democrats.
(I guess we can be thankful that progressive men and women aren’t getting together to spawn more disaffected children.)
Correlating all of these studies, general assumptions can be made. The Democrat Party is largely influenced by women, which would reflect a very low satisfaction with life. Most of these women are single and do not attend church. The contrary is that right-leaning women, by large margins, are married and attend church.
The vast majority of the supporters of this progressive temper tantrum come from the Cluster B personality traits of borderline personality disorder (BPD) which include high levels of alienation from norms. These people are lonely, insecure in their relationships, and radical in their reactions to adverse events.

argued that “‘many on the left began to suffer from what you might call maladaptive sadness,’ with its three main features being a ‘catastrophizing mentality,’ ‘extreme sensitivity to harm’ and a ‘culture of denunciation.’
“For many, America’s problems came to seem endemic: The American dream is a sham, climate change is so unstoppable, systemic racism is eternal,’ he wrote. ‘Making catastrophic pronouncements [unabated by leftist thought leaders] became a way to display that you were woke to the brutalities of American life.’”
A life of being overtly alarmed and lied to by the progressive establishment does that to undeveloped minds.
And yet, as they sing and dance and make threats beyond their capacity to deliver such, Black male support for Trump has doubled since the election. Trump received twenty-one percent of their collective vote in the 2024 election. He now enjoys forty-two percent approval rating from Black males for his efforts.
Some Democrats and leftists have seen the light. Senator Mark Warner (D-VA), said, “I think the Democrats’ brand is really bad, and I think this was an election based on culture… And the Democrats’ kind of failure to connect on a cultural basis with a wide swath of Americans is hugely problematic.” He’s semi-correct; the economy and the border played larger roles in the November Democrat defeat.
But that’s the problem, isn’t it? The Democrats have become bereft of policies important to Americans as a whole. They’ve fallen from It’s the economy, stupid to I’m with stupid.
Dance with the girl who brung ya
The Democrats are stuck. Their blind ambition for gaining and retaining power caused them to make unholy alliances with divergent groups and powerbrokers. Their policies, over the past decade or so, have been fueled by their supporters’ rage, driven by psychological issues that, mostly, have been fed by intensifying societal change. The Covid years made it worse as people were driven into personal bubbles, unable to make human connections, and unable to break out of these destructive cycles.
According to a recent Gallup poll, forty-five percent of Democrats and independent-leaning Democrats want their party to moderate. That’s considerable compared to 2021 when only thirty-four percent wanted moderation. The problem for the party is that fifty-five percent want the party to stay the same or even become more progressive.
With a dearth of leadership, this Democrat Party is not capable of the reforms needed to moderate. The octogenarian leadership of Nancy Pelosi, Schmucky Schumer, Steny Hoyer, Maxine Waters, and Jim Clyburn failed to allow younger politicians into their inner sanctum and so are saddled with lightweights such as Hakeem Jeffries and the failing Circular Firing Squad. Their ability to bring forth fresh new leadership is nonexistent; their bench is shallow and weak.
What we find is that while concurrently silly and vile, the Democrats, with their legions of malcontents, are out cheerleading against change that Americans voted for and a change that even some Biden voters are beginning to embrace. As the “big tent party of the people” dissolves into cheerleader camp hell, we can’t help but wonder exactly on whose behalf are they cheerleading? Malcontents or those cut off from the gravy train of corruption and kickbacks uncovered by the DOGE effort?
(*Definition: blue-hairs is a tongue-in-cheek reference to identify young women who support radical causes championed by Democrats—they often dye their hair blue to virtue signal their rage—and not the typical definition which includes older women who dye their hair blue. They also swear-off sex with men. At least they aren’t propagating their insanity.)
