In the wake of Donald Trump’s landslide victory, the Democrat Party is cast out into the wilderness.
There is a massive power struggle going on inside the Party.
And John Fetterman sealed the Democrat Party’s doom with this demand.
Donald Trump rides backlash to woke ideology to the White House
Donald Trump vanquished Kamala Harris by hammering her in TV ads, savaging Kamala Harris over her support for transgender surgeries for prisoners and illegal aliens.

The ad ran over 20,000 times during pro and college football games.
Trump’s campaign aimed ads like this at the growing anti-woke sentiment among young men.
The plan worked to perfection as Trump won men aged 18-29 by 49 to 47 percent over Kamala after losing that demographic by 12 points to Joe Biden.
Left-wing political commentators like Chris Cillizza credited the ad with winning Trump the election.
“One ad may have changed the trajectory of the presidential race,” Cillizza wrote on X. “It focused on Kamala Harris’ support for taxpayer-funded operations for transgender prisoners.”
Post-election polling data showed opposition to Kamala Harris’ transgender agenda was the number three issue that moved voters to Trump.
Cillizza said the ad closed with a brutally effective tagline mocking Kamala Harris’ use of her preferred pronouns, one of the features of woke gender identity insanity that especially drives normal Americans crazy.
“And the ad’s tagline crystallized the choice for lots of undecided voters: ‘Kamala is for they/them. Donald Trump is for us,’” Cillizza added.
“Trump is for us” conveyed to voters that Trump stood for the values of everyday folks, whereas Kamala was the candidate for the campus crazies, corporate HR fanatics, and the woke online outrage mob.
Cillizza said Trump trapped the Democrats and there was no easy way out as the radical base of the party treated indemnity politics like their religion.
“Wokeism run amok is a MAJOR problem for Democrats — and one without an easy solution because the base of the party is simply MUCH more liberal than the average swing voter,” Cillizza concluded.
No easy way out
Semafor asked John Fetterman about the “Kamala is for they/them” ad.
Fetterman proved Cillizza’s point by refusing to budge an inch of support for gender identity insanity.
“Two things. I refuse to throw members of the gay or trans communities under the bus. I’ll never walk away from them. But it’s also true, undeniably, that if someone ran for president in 2020 and pandered to that Squad mentality, or to get likes on Twitter, and they made those kinds of statements about gender, they were going to be pretty hard to defend,” Fetterman began.
Fetterman is a swing state Senator whose voice will carry a tremendous amount of weight as the Democrat Party tries to rebuild.
And Fetterman thinks the “they/them” ad was just clever sloganeering instead of a fringe policy that Democrats need to re-evaluate.
“That was going to get weaponized. And it’s undeniable that Republicans created a really powerful message: ‘She’s for they/them, and Trump is for you.’ That was, I think, our cycle’s version of ‘where’s the beef?’ or ‘I knew Jack Kennedy, and you’re no Jack Kennedy.’ That kept hitting again and again and again and again for 10s of millions of dollars. It had an ear worm quality. And I’m not surprised that that resonated,” Fetterman concluded.
