Democrats Defending Democracy? More Like Liberals Being Terrorists.

Written by: Jennifer Bash

When I first registered to vote at 45 (yes, fashionably late to the civic duty party), I checked the box for “Independent.” Not because I was trying to be edgy—but because I genuinely didn’t know where I fit. My first vote ever? Trump in 2016. Why? Because Hillary Clinton felt like a walking press release dipped in plastic. It was more gut instinct than policy deep dive, but that was my entry point into politics.

Fast-forward eight years: now I’m neck-deep in it—writing this newsletter, hosting a podcast (coming back soon, I promise), and reading more political articles than a sane person should. You’d think I’d have everything figured out by now. But if I’m being honest?

I’m still confused. Especially about the Democratic Party

Identity Crisis, Much?

Let’s talk about it—the Democratic Party is going through a full-blown political puberty. They’re moody, inconsistent, say one thing and do another, and they keep trying on new identities like they’re standing in the fitting room of American politics yelling, “Do I look progressive in this?”

One minute they’re for the working class. Next minute they’re marching for open borders while lecturing you about pronouns and climate guilt. They used to be anti-war, now they fund proxy wars. They scream “protect democracy!” while silencing opposition and controlling speech. It’s giving gaslight, gatekeeper, government overreach.

Back when I asked Jamie on our podcast to explain the difference between Republicans and Democrats, it was a genuine question. I wasn’t trying to tee him up—I really didn’t know. Especially after this past week, I can’t help but question whether the left still knows what they stand for.

Let’s take a quick, disturbing tour of recent events:

• A healthcare CEO was murdered.

• Two Israeli diplomats—murdered.

• A Minnesota state rep, shot and killed.

• Tesla dealerships firebombed.

• Jewish demonstrators attacked with fire.

• L.A. torched by riots.

• And the “No King” protests where American cities were filled with people waving foreign flags—yes, flags from countries they refuse to return to—while demanding that our country bend, break, and remake itself to suit their ideals. They don’t want to go back to the nations they’re so proudly representing; they want to turn this one into a version of it, on our dime and under our laws. Make that make sense.

These aren’t fringe events. These are coordinated, ideological attacks—often carried out or excused by people who claim to be the defenders of “democracy,” “tolerance,” and “peace.”

What Is Democracy?

Democracy means you have a voice, the power to vote, and the right to ask questions without being tackled by the FBI or banned from social media. But to today’s left, democracy now means: “Let us win or you’re a threat to the Republic.” What Democrats Say They Stand For

Here’s the official branding:

• Equity and inclusion

• Human rights and civil liberties

• Affordable healthcare for all

• A clean environment and climate justice

• Government transparency

• Justice reform and protecting marginalized groups

• Defending democracy and voting rights

Sounds great, right? In theory, these are values most decent people support. But here’s the part that makes my head spin:

What They Actually Do (Since Obama)

1. Equity for All… Unless You’re Conservative
Conservative students are silenced.
Christian-owned businesses? Targeted.
Anyone who challenges woke doctrine? Canceled—immediately.

2. Human Rights... Except for the Unborn, Dissenters, or the Unpopular
Biden DOJ went after parents at school board meetings.
COVID mandates overruled basic bodily autonomy.
Meanwhile, late-term abortion is celebrated as empowerment.

3. Healthcare for All... But Not Transparency
Obamacare passed on lies: “Keep your doctor” anyone?
Premiums skyrocketed for the middle class.

4. Climate Justice... Unless You’re a Democrat Celebrity
John Kerry, Al Gore, and Hollywood fly private jets to climate summits while lecturing you about your gas stove.

5. Government Transparency... Like Hunter’s Laptop?
Suppressed. Buried. Discredited. Later verified—no apologies.
Democrats and Big Tech coordinated to silence it before the 2020 election.

6. Justice Reform... Unless It Involves Themselves
Hillary Clinton: Deleted 33,000 emails under subpoena—nothing.
Biden: Classified documents in a garage—shrug.
Trump: Raided, indicted, investigated non-stop.

7. Defending Democracy... By Redefining It
Attempted to federalize elections.
Wanted to pack the Supreme Court.
Pushed censorship of opposing views on social media.
Labeled political opponents “threats to democracy.”

8. Voting Rights... Unless You Vote the ‘Wrong’ Way
They claim to protect voting rights—but only when the results go their way.
Oppose voter ID laws (because showing ID is now “oppression”).
Support non-citizens voting in local elections.
And if you question an election? You’re branded an “insurrectionist.”
Unless it’s 2016—then it was just “brave resistance.”

This Isn’t Just Politics. It’s Personal

It’s not about red vs. blue anymore. It’s about who got crushed while the elites played dress-up with democracy.

Middle-class families paid more for gas, groceries, and housing—while the White House told us the economy was “strong.”
Small business owners were buried in taxes and regulations, while corporate donors cozied up to politicians and got bailouts.
Parents were called domestic terrorists for questioning school boards—but drag shows in elementary schools? Totally fine.
Veterans and the homeless slept in tents while illegal immigrants were bussed into hotels on taxpayer dollars.
Law-abiding citizens lost their jobs for refusing experimental mandates, while criminals were let loose in cities like it was The Purge.

This isn’t theory. This was our reality.

They say they’re fighting for “the people,” but let’s be honest:
We are the people. And we’re the ones they keep trying to silence.

Bottom Line

The left doesn’t defend democracy—they redefine it to suit their agenda. They’re trying to convince Trump voters that he’s dragging the country in the wrong direction—when in reality, he’s doing exactly what they elected him to do. The real issue? The left can’t handle losing. That’s why every time the vote doesn’t go their way, we don’t get civil discourse—we get protests, riots, and threats dressed up as “activism.”

They don’t want open debate. They want obedience.
They don’t want fairness. They want control.

Democracy only matters when they win.

Podcast is Coming Back

The podcast is making a return—stronger, snarkier, and more unapologetic. I’ve figured out where I stand, and spoiler alert: it’s not with the party that forgot who they are and hopes you won’t notice. If you’re still figuring it out, that’s okay. Ask questions. Challenge everything. But most of all—stay loud.
