Ah, the Democratic Party, once the beacon of progress, now mere flotsam in the stormy seas of Trump’s tyranny. What a delightful spectacle to witness, as the once-respected Gov. Shapiro finds himself among the ranks of the disillusioned, calling out his own? ‘They’re failing to be a check!’ he laments, as if he’s unaware that the same check they’re supposed to wield is as weak as their leadership. Perhaps it’s time for a radical rebranding: from the Democratic Party to the ‘Despair and Denial Democrats.’ Ah, but wait, that’s already taken by the Despair Party, so how about ‘The Frustration Fraternity’? Now, there’s a catchy acronym! And for the angry activists, let’s rename them the ‘Annoyed Activists Association.’ The town halls are back to life, not with ideas but with fiery tempers, and the polls? They’re just the democratized version of the ‘Trump approval ratings,’ a hilarious twist of fate! The Republicans, with their ‘eagerness to smash longstanding boundaries,’ must be thrilled to have a Democratic counterpart to their own chaos. The Capitol’s now a ‘battlefield of boundaries,’ and the Democrats are the unsuspecting soldiers, led by confused commanders. Classic political comedy: it’s just a matter of who’s in the punchline and who’s paying the laughs.
