Silly bunnies

Politico reports:

After three months of soul-searching about how to revive their party, some Democrats this week believe they have finally found a rallying point following Donald Trump’s presidential victory.

Billionaire Elon Musk’s campaign to dismantle the federal bureaucracy piece by piece at Trump’s behest, starting with the U.S. Agency for International Development, lit a fire under many Democratic lawmakers — several of whom rallied Monday outside USAID headquarters.

But relaunching the resistance to defend one of the least popular corners of the federal budget could be a monster miscalculation — and some prominent Democrats told me they have serious strategic reservations about how their party is fighting back.

When I asked veteran strategist David Axelrod whether Democrats were “walking into a trap” on defending foreign aid, he literally finished my sentence.

“My heart is with the people out on the street outside USAID, but my head tells me: ‘Man, Trump will be well satisfied to have this fight,’” he said. “When you talk about cuts, the first thing people say is: Cut foreign aid.”

The Democrats seem to have no idea which of the hundred things Trump is doing, they should focus on, and bizarrely they pick cutting foreign aid as the one to rally against. That will not get them votes.

And to make things worse they have elected a 24 year old radical millennial as their national vice-chair who has called for the police to be defunded, ICE abolished, legalise all drugs and a top tax rate of 100%! As if that isn’t enough, he has said having children is bad for the environment.

The Republicans may be in power for a very long time.
