Democrats are back at it, desperately trying to stir up protests against President Donald Trump, and this time they’ve decided to take aim at tech mogul Elon Musk, cryptocurrency, and what they are absurdly dubbing a “government takeover.” Oddly enough, this just shows how clueless they really are, especially considering Trump is a legitimately elected president and not some interloper. Their claims are so far-fetched that they’re essentially suggesting Musk is responsible for raiding grandpas’ Social Security pots, which is as logical as claiming the moon is made of cheese. Musk, it turns out, has as much power over government funds as a goldfish.
The Democrats have rolled out their usual protest props, rallying the tried-and-true troops from organizations like MoveOn. One particularly striking scene unfolded recently outside the Treasury Department, starring Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Rep. Maxine Waters. Schumer, in a move reminiscent of a half-hearted school play, lifted Waters’ hand in a symbolic gesture, all while chanting some vague notion of victory. The absurdity of it was even too much for CNN; their panel erupted into laughter at the sheer ineptitude of the display.

Any objective observer, even those at CNN, could see that this was not a winning performance. One has to wonder what exactly Schumer was winning—other than perhaps the prestigious title of the worst actor in the Great Democratic Melodrama. Moreover, the protest itself exuded an air of desperation, complete with statements that sounded suspiciously like declarations of war, as if that would make their cause more legitimate.
To add to the infighting among Democrats, former Rep. Tim Ryan, who lost his bid for Senate in 2022 and is eyeing a potential gubernatorial run against Vivek Ramaswamy in Ohio, has also piped up. Observing the chaos among the Democrats, Ryan voiced his dissatisfaction with the direction the party has taken, highlighting that it seems to be chasing shadows instead of solutions. His indictment of the party echoed a sentiment that a rational person could only think: is this really the best they can do?
The sad reality for Democrats is that they are stuck in a turbulent cycle of confusion, making it painfully obvious that they are out of touch with mainstream voters. It wouldn’t be a stretch to say that moderate Americans watching from the sidelines are starting to view the party as a circus act. This unrest at their protests, coupled with dismal polling numbers, suggests that the Democratic Party is losing even moderate supporters fast.
The chaos on display underscores a significant issue within the party. Their leadership appears to be navigating a ship without a captain, careening into increasingly choppy waters without a clue how to right the course. As Ryan noted, the Democrats are misfiring left and right, and without sane voices willing to steer the party toward clarity, they are destined to sink further into irrelevance. The future looks grim for them, and while Schumer and his compatriots march on with their chants, it becomes clearer: they are out of touch and adrift in a world that’s leaving them behind.
