Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) has made a face of the democratic change of tactics when it comes to Trump and his party, but there is a broader feeling than the demand for the class of elite consultant whose Democrats had to move in the direction of Trump was rejected and that the party unified on a strategy to fight hard.
While Gavin Newsom made podcasts with Steve Bannon and Charlie Kirk, the Democratic leader of the Hakeem Jeffries Chamber had sounded the alarm before Trump was in office and tried to drag the democratic leadership of Congress in combat mode.
After Chuck Schumer was almost out of the party to turn out to Trump on government funding, the tide seemed to change. When Trump continued to try to fake mid-term elections, it seems that Democrats at all levels were on the same wavelength.
Leader Jeffries put the democratic strategy in words with a new turn on a quote from Michelle Obama.
Jeffries said by speaking of the Texas Republicans who advanced their gerrymandering:
The Texas Republicans were counting on Democrats to behave like passers-by while the extremists were trying to compel the mid-term elections. They were wrong.
The Democrats of Texas House thwarted Greg Abbott and Donald Trump for weeks by leaving the State – mobilizing basic supporters across the country and by arousing a national response. While the Gerrymanderd card has adopted the State House today, we are grateful for the courage, character and conviction manifested by the legislators on the battlefield.
During the Quorum break, Governor Gavin Newsom and the Democrats of California unveiled a fair map that responds proportionally to the extreme Gerrymander of Texas of the decade. In the spirit of equity and in accordance with the law on voting rights, the recently published Californian card is legal and temporary. I strongly support this enlightened and energetic effort.
Democrats will continue to prosecute more equitable cards from one ocean to another. When the extreme republicans Maga become low, we are going to retaliate. Hard.
There is no longer when they go down, we go high.
Now it is when they go down, we hit them hard.
This is the attitude that Democratic supporters wanted to see since Trump returned to the post. The media are still trying to criticize the Democrats for retalling and refusing to see Trump’s authoritarian trends, But what matters is that the Democrats have a united strategy and they understand that they have to retaliate and retaliate hard.
Note: Please do not complete the comments with answers like “it’s time.” There are elected democrats and independent allies who have been trying to move their party for months. People like Chris Murphy, Chris Van Hollen, Bernie Sanders, Maxwell Frost, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Greg Casar, Jasmine Crockett, Al Green, Elizabeth Warren, Sheldon Whitehouse, Ron Wyden, Hakeem Jeffries, and many others.
It is not their fault if the media have, in many cases, ignored their efforts, and some members of the leadership of their party have been slow to grasp the message. Politicususa and the daily with Sarah Jones are two of the few outlets that have always spent time covering these efforts and informing you of what’s going on.
What is essential is that they are all on board now, and the new strategy is the key to winning in 2026 and saving democracy.
