Dems offer disdain, not answers

Last week, billionaire environmental activist Tom Steyer’s group NextGen America released a video advertisement called “Mother’s Day.” The description reads simply, “This Mother’s Day, talk to your child about the Republican Party.”

In the video, a mother ruminates over the wayward path of her son. She holds a picture of the boy, which features a quote from him: “Go back to where you came from. — Me.”

The mom character says, “I started noticing some issues with him, maybe in middle school. The stealing started out small ... from less fortunate kids.”

The video then shows a framed picture on the mantel featuring mom’s son bullying kids at school.

Though we can agree that most parents wouldn’t have such a framed picture on display, the production continues down the bizarre path.

“He was never afraid to talk with girls,” mom mused. “But things never really worked out for some reason.” Pan to a picture of the lad, wearing a Trump T-shirt, terrorizing a woman while holding high a sign reading, “Baby Killer.”

“It wasn’t until I met his college buddies that I realized it might be too late,” says mom, in which another framed picture reveals that those college buddies are torch-carrying racists.

“Only a mother can catch the signs early. This Mother’s Day talk to your child about the GOP. I wish I had.”

At this point mom tosses back a martini.

This is where the passions of the progressive Democrats are. Another display of unhinged hatred for Donald Trump and his voters in lieu of any real message.

This is by no means the fringe of the party. This is the core. Just this March, Hillary Clinton — the standard bearer of the Democratic Party, told an audience in India what was in the mind of Trump supporters: “You know, you didn’t like black people getting rights, you don’t like women, you know, getting jobs, you don’t want to, you know, see that Indian-American succeeding more than you are.”

Apparently the only strategy Democrats have for 2018 is to rely on their depictions of Trump voters as the worst possible bigots and Neanderthals who must be stopped at all costs. Hardly likely to win them back Michigan and Wisconsin.

Panic does not inspire. No matter how you frame it.
