Thu, 17 Apr 2025 01:56:24 +0000 http://www.chrisweigant.com/?p=26281#comment-218474 As much as I want the Democratic Party to find its way to a regular electoral majority again, I am nervous about talk of a 'left wing Tea Party' or a 'left wing Trump figure' as the solution. It may be boring, it may not be exciting, but one thing the Democrats retain, which the Republicans have given away, is fundamental sanity, decency, and honesty. The 'Tea Party' and 'Trump' terms abandon all that by definition. And yes, I think there are elements on the liberal end of the spectrum - not the Democrats as such - that could be just as liable as the Trumpers to abandon sanity, decency, and honesty in their quest for political power. Anyone remember the good old Communist Party? They defined the 'Left' for decades in the previous century, and they were anything but sane, decent, or honest.
