Trump is working hard to de-fund the Democratic Party, while simultaneously deporting much of its voting base. His long-term goal appears to be to end the Democrats as a major political force in the US, and instead turn into a small, extremist party of the coasts and of some wealthy elites. It's a brilliant strategy that, if successful, will have ramifications long after Trump leaves office.

I suspect your analysis of the end game is on the money, Thomas - eliminate the broader base of the Dems. What’s interesting to me is it appears that less effort will be required than I’d assumed. Some very simple things have happened or are happening. First, the common sense declarations such as there are two genders, boys can’t play girls’ sports (or share locker rooms), DEI is toxic, gender surgery on minors is prohibited, etc. These are a cold slap in the face for the leftists, as no one with a lick of common sense would oppose those declarations. Secondly, it appears that mere exposure of the political grift will shock the senses of normal Americans, as there are few people who have ever predicted the magnitude of the grift. Normal Americans find the policies and actions of the Democratic Party to be repulsive and those normals will continue to leave the party.

I hope you are correct with "those normals".

I fervently pray that the Democrat party is totally eliminated to nothing more than a fragment of itself and that it has no material influence on any aspect of American life.

I dunno. To me the problem is that too many Republicans, Liz Cheney types, were also involved in the deep state funding. Will the Democratic party shrink as it loses money and power? Yes, of course, that is already happening. Will it make some sort of comeback at some point in the next few years? Judging by history, again, yes it will.

I agree. Far too many useless Republicans who need to go, as well.

I've long said, "The less you expect from elected Republicans, the less you'll be disappointed."

Right, and it will come out that lots of them had their hand in the cookie jar as well. Too many were in favor of funding Ukraine, and now President Zelensky has said that most of the funds that were supposedly sent to Ukraine did not, in fact, arrive there. People were, in fact, using Ukraine to launder US taxpayer dollars for their own personal gain, and folks need to be forced to resign from office and be criminally prosecuted for that, people in both political parties.

Yes, as said many times, the Deep State needs to go and no one is more dedicated to doing just that than Trump and his crew. I will not use the word Mob with Trump as they lost their control of the government in January. They are still lurking out there trying to figure out how to torpedo Trump and “win” the next election.

Hey, look around, we have a few of them commenting copious amounts of BS on this blog.

Let's hope it does come out, about ALL who were in these play for pay schemes and what they did. Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians...all of them. That would be transparency.

Zelensky is a great guy. No more of that Day One shit. Give Trump rare earths and he'll get American boots on the ground.

Some of the money goes to keeping Z's wife happy. Million dollar shopping sprees in Paris, cars, etc. So that much arrived anyway.

It’s called the uniparty. I found out today that Liz Cheney worked for USAID from 1989-1992. She acknowledged it in an X exchange with Elon.

Well, as the Democrat party shrinks, there are always room for RINOs to cross the aisle.

Conversely, as the grift becomes obvious, there might also be room for ethical Democrats to become Republicans.

Exactly what I expect, the formation of two new parties. GOP and Dems are toast.

I fervently pray that ALL political parties are eliminated and America always comes first for everyone. Political parties have done nothing but spend us into a $36 trillion dollar abyss, wage illegal wars, spend our strength and means, kill our young men and women in wars, ignore the border, supplant the white race with unidentified mutts from the south, grow the government, grow the grift, grow the corruption.

We as a Americans should eschew political parties at all cost. It is a failed system and has done nothing but take from us freedom and wealth, create problems and then refuse to solve the problems.

All of America's problems today come down to 535 individuals in an organization called Congress. Congress is evenly divided between two political parties. Nothing gets done. Nothing done benefits Americans. These 535 fuckers are to blame for it all.

Political parties belong in the ash bin of history.

The founders, especially Washington, were very skeptical of “parties”. We should ALL be Americans putting America first. Our disagreements should be on the best, most efficacious way to support our country and limit our Government

Do mine eyes deceive me but am I reading a comment from someone who read gorgeous Georg's farewell address? Partisan politics, he said, and I paraphrase, will destroy the country as people focus first on the needs of the political party while the country rots.

Way to go Madjack! His farewell address is hard reading as George uses words and grammar most numbskull Americans can't comprehend but it should be required reading for every high school Freshman. IMO.

Is he simply de-funding the Democrats or trying to save the US from economic collapse? I'd bet on the latter; it just so happens that many of these high-priced programs also benefitted the Democrat party and individual Democrats.

I think that's a primary goal, but not the end game. He has to destroy the corruption support structure to eliminate all the corrupt politicians and judges. If you turn off the grift, the old timers in Congress will retire if they're no longer getting rich. That will make way for citizen rep's that want to serve their country for some years and then return to home and work.

Republicans/conservatives go along with things like the Ukraine aid b/c they're getting wealthy off it. End that or someone/something else will fill the void left by the defunct Democratic party.

I hope and pray that is NOT what is going on. The binomial libs vs conservatives narrative is IMO just a tool to divide and conquer.

Sure the dems were all in on the nonsense. But your neighbor who voted for Kamala is your ally, should you find a way. Dont let divide and conquer just end up with new 'winners'.
