Dems seek a blue-collar MAGA man to win back Trump – Latest News
Democrats have a Nazi drawback.
They’ve spent the final 10 years accusing Donald Trump of being the second coming of Hitler and melting down when Elon Musk or anybody else perceived as close to Trump made a hand gesture they pretended was a Nazi salute.
It was all simply a hilarious troll that fooled their more gullible acolytes.
Now that Maine Gov. Janet Mills has pulled out of her Senate marketing campaign, citing money issues, Democrat grandees are lining up to marketing campaign for his or her anointed candidate, the ersatz Joe Six-Pack Graham Platner, who has an precise Nazi tattoo on his chest — or did for 18 years till he disguised it to marketing campaign.
Democrats are also falling over themselves to seem on the marketing campaign path with Hasan Piker, the far-left Twitch streamer who has known as Jews “inbred” and pigs and mentioned, “It doesn’t matter if f–king rapes happened on October 7.”
They delude themselves into believing this hideous ghoul is the left-wing Joe Rogan they’ve been in search of.

In the toilet

Their model is within the toilet, with favorability at historic lows, beneath the Republican Party and even the dreaded Trump.
They are so terrified of the reality that, after DNC apparatchiks commissioned an post-mortem on what went improper for them in 2024, they then refused to release it, infuriating donors and their grassroots.
They appear to assume they misplaced the final presidential election, the House and the Senate as a result of they merely selected the improper candidates.

But now they’ve lurched to the opposite finish of the spectrum, vowing that if they’ll’t beat Trump, they’re going to mimic him, or a cartoon model of him with a left-wing slant on his populist pitch.
Belatedly realizing that their rush to the left on immigration, law and order, race, gender and poisonous masculinity since 2012 has backfired on them, Democrats have been greedy for antidotes, inflicting on the citizens a sequence of wolves in moderates’ disguise, like Joe Biden, the worst president in historical past, and CIA operative Abigail Spanberger, who show their true colours as soon as in workplace.
They’ve tried folksy frauds like Tim Walz, who wore the costume of the archetypal huntin’, fishin’ Midwestern redneck when he ran as Harris’ supposedly masculine sidekick.
But he turned out to be a malicious dime-store revolutionary with hyperlinks to the Chinese Communist Party and the ideology to match. Even when he went on a staged marketing campaign searching occasion, he didn’t have a clue how to maintain a shotgun.
Graham Platner is the newest iteration of archetypal blue-collar MAGA man — the pretend model Democrats think about will win back the voters they misplaced to Trump.
With his plaid shirts, ginger beard, freckly white pores and skin, tattoos and macho schtick, he has earned glowing profiles in leftist media equivalent to The New York Times and The New Yorker as a rugged, working-class oyster farmer and Iraq battle veteran from central casting.
In actuality, he’s a typical champagne socialist who grew up because the pampered son of a distinguished “Down East Maine” household, whose father was a lawyer and whose grandfather was a world-famous architect who designed $20,000 chairs.
Platner attended an elite $75,000-per-year prep college in Connecticut earlier than transferring to one other posh personal college, the place he was reportedly voted “most likely to start a revolution.”
His true colours
Platner is being revealed as an unhinged extremist who rationalizes violence. Just what ghoulish Democratic major voters lust after.
In Reddit posts, he has described himself as an “antifa supersoldier,” and a “communist,” known as all cops “bastards” and defended rape: “If you’re so worried about it [rape], you’d think you might not get blacked out f–ked up around people you aren’t comfortable with.”
He defended violence: If people “expect to fight fascism without a good semi-automatic rifle, they ought to do some reading of history,” he wrote in an outdated post, and praised Hamas terrorists for a “damn fine” assault that killed Israeli troopers.
He pretends that it’s unimaginable for him to be each a Nazi and a communist after they’re two sides of the identical rotten coin.
When known as out for the skull-and-crossbones tattoo — utilized by Hitler’s “Death’s Head” Holocaust models — that he sported on his chest for 18 years, Platner claimed he had no concept it was a Nazi image and had it re-inked to a more palatable design.
“I was appalled to learn it closely resembled a Nazi symbol,” he mentioned, which ought to disqualify him for stupidity — if he’s telling the reality, which people who know him best say he’s not.
One of his marketing campaign officers, who stop over his rancid social media posts, described him as a “history buff” who knew precisely what the tattoo was.

Democrats have efficiently stoked Trump Derangement Syndrome to harm the president and his allies, however it’s been on the expense of their own standing with voters — and, ultimately, the soul of their get together.
They now have a worse image even than Republicans, which is exceptional since Republicans are those in energy federally and face a relentless barrage of adverse media protection, are within the center of an unpopular battle, are stymied at each step by Democratic lawfare and have had to take care of the Democratic sabotage in Congress of sequential authorities shutdowns.
A CNN ballot final month discovered simply 28% of Americans view the get together favorably, whereas the Republican Party’s favorability was a few factors larger at 32%.
Democratic favorability is at net-negative 22.4%, in accordance to the newest RealClearPolling average. Republicans, whereas additionally deep in adverse territory, have a four-point favorability benefit. And Trump beats Democrats on favorability by 8 factors, although he’s clearly nicely underwater.
The “maximum warfare, everywhere, all the time” strategy advocated by the Democrats’ reckless chief within the House, Hakeem Jeffries, is doubtless inflicting harm on Republicans, however it appears more mud is sticking to Democrats than to their opponents. In the method, they’ve defiled American political discourse..

Yet hubristic DNC sorts are already counting their eggs earlier than they’re hatched, planning for impeaching Trump and delivering retribution to anybody who has supported him after they take back the House, or of their desires, the Senate.
The president’s get together traditionally loses ground on the midterms, however contemplating the demonization of Trump and the high-turnout resistance rallies like No Kings or May Day, you may count on Democrats to be additional forward than the slim lead they get pleasure from within the national generic poll and key battleground state polls.
The RealClearPolling average Generic Congressional Vote has Democrats forward by 5.7 factors, an benefit that’s not unassailable.
Democrats are so determined to finish their shedding streak that they’ll justify supping with the satan by saying nothing is as unhealthy as Trump — or the imaginary Trump monster they’ve concocted to scare half the nation.
By that logic, Democrats would vote for a serial killer if it meant sticking it to Trump.
Chuck Schumer, the Democratic chief within the Senate and putative get together elder, and Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee Chairwoman Kirsten Gillibrand are backing Platner.
Let’s hope they fall on their face and that Maine voters punish them by rejecting Platner, no matter how many thousands and thousands they pour into glossing his image.
The solely means of stopping the political violence that has hijacked the left of politics shouldn’t be to reward its avatars.
