The Democratic party's popularity continues to plummet, with critics attributing this to a perceived lack of authenticity and an alleged propensity for authoritarian tendencies.
The party's decline is further exacerbated by the increasing instances of violence that seem to follow their losses.
According to the Western Journal, a recent episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert featured Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom of California launching into a fervent tirade against President Donald Trump and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.
This diatribe, which critics have labeled as hyperbolic and incendiary, was aired just hours before a fatal attack on a Texas ICE facility.
Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem reported the incident on the social media platform X, stating, There was a shooting this morning at the Dallas @ICEgov Field Office. Details are still emerging but we can confirm there were multiple injuries and fatalities.
The shooter is deceased by a self-inflicted gun shot wound. She added, While we dont know motive yet, we know that our ICE law enforcement is facing unprecedented violence against them. It must stop. Please pray for the victims and their families.
While Newsom did not explicitly incite violence, critics argue that his inflammatory rhetoric could potentially influence unstable individuals. Prior to his anti-ICE rant, Newsom suggested that Trump, anticipating a loss in the 2026 midterm elections, would resort to tactics reminiscent of the rigged elections in Russia under President Vladimir Putin.
Critics have labeled this as both a lie and a projection, pointing out that Democrats allegedly manipulated the 2020 election with mail-in ballots and skewed the decennial census by including illegal immigrants.
Newsom's comments escalated when he discussed Californias law requiring ICE agents to reveal their identities. He passionately criticized the agents, a move that critics believe could further agitate the more radical elements of the Democratic base. People ask, Well, is [it] authoritarianism, youre being hyperbolic,' the governor said after drawing a comparison between ICE and the Gestapo.
Bulls*** were being hyperbolic. If youre [in] a black or brown community, its here, in this country.
Newsom's critics have labeled him as one of historys most deceitful politicians. They argue that his misleading statements could potentially fuel violence and unrest. Recent polling data suggests that Republicans hold significant advantages over Democrats on all major issues, including a 13-point lead on immigration. This raises the question of why Trump would need to fear a fair election.
The issue of ICE agents wearing masks has been a contentious one, with critics arguing that it was necessitated by the violent actions of left-wing activists. Newsom's accusations of authoritarianism have been met with skepticism, particularly given his own controversial handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The increasing instances of violence associated with the Democratic party have raised concerns about the party's future. Critics suggest that the party's leaders, including Newsom, are aware of this trend but continue to propagate potentially violence-inciting misinformation. This has led to speculation that the Democratic party may be losing faith in its ability to win in fair national elections.
