In the midst of fiery terror attacks on Tesla dealerships and a federal judge’s order to stop the removal of transnational gang members to El Salvador, two astronauts stranded in space for many months were rescued by Elon Musk’s SpaceX. The speed with which the company mobilized to save these explorers after Joe Biden turned his back was truly historic, another sign that America is back on track.
The good people of America applauded the space rescue, the release of more hostages, and progress on peace in the Middle East and Ukraine. It seems trivial to point out that good people deserve good things from the government we pay for, but after four terrible years it merits repeating.
Americans want and deserve goodness from government. Democrats don’t want us to have it.
Why?
Good people declared America’s independence
John Adams had high expectations for “the good People of these Colonies” who declared America’s independence:
Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.1
Our government was tasked with making our lives better:
Upon this point all speculative politicians will agree, that the happiness of society is the end of government, as all Divines and moral Philosophers will agree that the happiness of the individual is the end of man.2
Governing America is also about values, as George Washington reminded us during his September 17, 1796 Farewell Address:
‘Tis substantially true, that virtue or morality is a necessary spring of popular government.3
Our last president labeled tens of millions of Americans “garbage.” Those of us with a less hateful opinion know that we live up to the Founders’ legacy as a fundamentally good people who rise to the challenge when disaster strikes and even lend a hand when our adversaries need help. We celebrate goodness, endorse happiness in our daily lives, and reject whatever stands in the way.
Churlish behavior from leftist lawmakers is tiresome and familiar, but good Americans were still shocked by the unprecedented display of moral bankruptcy from Democrats during Trump’s March 4, 2025 address to Congress. The lawmakers we pay to make our society better refused to acknowledge a mother’s tragic loss and a woman who suffered a life-changing injury. They couldn’t even bring themselves to celebrate a brave boy fighting a terminal diagnosis whose presence had no political undertones whatsoever.
These politicians are unworthy of the honor and trust bestowed upon them by the good people of our nation, but that’s not the real issue. Why are they so determined to destroy every shred of goodness that is inseparable from the idea of America?
After Judge Boasberg issued his order to stop the president’s deportation flight to El Salvador, Trump-hating blowhard Jerry Nadler (D-NY) warned:
The dangerous precedent set by these actions threatens the very foundation of our democracy.4
Did Nadler mean the very foundation of the Democrat Party? I suspect Adams and Washington would place protecting good people from violence and murder ahead of partisan atrocities like Rep. Pramila Jayapal’s (D-WA) No Round Up Act.5
Sorry, Democrats. Violence is not the cure for goodness.
Good people celebrate a child conquering brain cancer. We support female athletes and cheer their accomplishments.
We oppose policies that cause Americans to be hurt or killed. We don’t turn a blind eye to terrorism, spew racial, religious, or ethnic hate, or defend those who do.
Late-night talk show hacks might think domestic terror attacks are something to joke about, but I doubt most Americans agree no matter which party they vote for. Democrats conflicted about supporting Israel’s war against genocide, who refuse to denounce threatening, pro-terror antisemitic activism, and who angrily defend violent illegal aliens also reject America.
The political left’s ambitions don’t reflect our values as a good people, especially when they include the tacit endorsement of terrorism and violence as a cure for goodness.
Policy by other means? Democrats borrow from Lenin.
Trump stole the proletariat from the Democrat Party, so progressives best shelve any plans for their Marxist revolution.
Fortunately, Vladimir Lenin has their back. The Russian leader offered this advice from Prussian General Carl von Clausewitz:
War is the continuation of policy by other means.
Reserving goodness for favorite party poster children like violent Venezuelan gang members and pro-Hamas terror sympathizers is Democrat policy by other means. So is remaining tight-lipped while terrorists burn Tesla dealerships and terrorize owners the party targeted with EV mandates not so long ago.
This Democrat war on good people is waged by activist politicians like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), and others whose actions silently endorse Lenin’s strategy. They don’t care that most Americans oppose tearing our society apart because making America better for good people is not their goal.
Genocide and firebombings: nothing good to see here
No one really knows who said that tyranny only needs people of good conscience to remain silent. Last November the good people of America voted their conscience against the woke tyranny of radical Democrats who deny our voice and reject the goodness of the everyday people they lie about defending.
Like an injured predator, these radicals are many times more dangerous now than when they held power. They tolerate and arguably incite violence from the restive foot soldiers who occupy the fringe of the Democrat Party base.
The genocidal attack on Israel should have rallied our government in defense of our ally. Instead, Biden and Harris sat on their hands while naive, radicalized college students were indoctrinated by terrorist sympathizers.
When Trump did what Biden refused to do and said no to antisemitism and pro-Hamas activism, Democrats exploded:
This maneuver evokes the Alien and Sedition Acts and McCarthyism. It is the playbook of authoritarians, not of elected officials in a democratic society who claim to be champions of free speech.6
Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) reached across the ocean to demand regime change in Israel:
I urge the ICC to swiftly issue arrest warrants for Netanyahu and senior Israeli officials to finally hold them accountable for this [Gaza] genocide, as is obviously warranted by these well-documented violations of the Genocide Convention under his international law.7
Rep. Mark Pocan (D-WI) was even more direct:
For nearly 10 months, Netanyahu has waged a deadly and excessive response that has targeted Gazan civilians. It is wildly inappropriate to give the distinct honor of addressing Congress to a man who has violated international human rights law so severely that an arrest warrant for war crimes has been recommended by the International Criminal Court. I regret that one has not been issued yet, as I would have gladly served it to him on the House floor.8
Sending billions with no conditions was the Biden-Harris policy to fund the slaughter in Ukraine. When it comes to killing Jews instead of Russians and Ukrainians, Democrats are more conflicted about what is right:
It’s no coincidence that immediately after our government sent the Israeli apartheid regime over $14 billion with absolutely no conditions on upholding human rights, Netanyahu began a ground invasion of Rafah to continue the genocide of Palestinians—with ammunition and bombs paid for by our tax dollars.9
According to the Government Accountability Office, $174 billion was appropriated for Ukraine by September 2024 and not all of it was for the war effort:
As of May 2024, USAID had obligated $22.9 billion for direct budget support for Ukraine’s government, largely to reimburse the government for eligible expenses, such as salaries for teachers, civil servants, and healthcare workers.10
The only similarity in the two policies is that Democrats won’t do anything positive to end the killing in either conflict.
The difference is that they demand we fund one and turn their backs on the other.
When a party can’t agree that war, terrorism, genocide, and ethnic hatred are bad things, it’s not a big stretch to accept firebombing private businesses and the murder of innocents at the hands of illegals as the usual business of America.
Democrat Party’s moral dilemma endorses killing
After their shameful performance during Trump’s address, House MInority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) laughably claimed the president was the divisive one11 and made this ridiculous assertion:
We will continue to try to solve problems for everyday Americans. We want to make life better for every single American, in every community, in every corner of this country.12
Jeffries didn’t explain how an agenda that denies the rule of law, endorses domestic terror, and led to the deaths of Paul Kessler, Jocelyn Nungaray, Laken Riley, Rachel Morin, Camilla Williams, and countless others makes our lives better. Obviously it doesn’t, but Democrats could care less. They solve a moral dilemma that juxtaposes goodness and party agenda by sowing deception about their Leninist policy war.
Stop the Democrat war on goodness, happiness, and good people
Democrats and radical talking heads in the media warn of a Trump civil war, but the real battle is being waged against anyone and anything that supports the goodness and good people that make our nation great.
We learned from the Democrat Party’s denial of Americans’ democratic right to pick a presidential candidate that the will of the people is irrelevant to party goals. After you choose to betray this basic constitutional precept it’s an easy next step to betray our country by endorsing any and all means to get what you want, like the havoc that’s playing out across America right now. It needs to stop. This is not what America and our good people are about. It’s what Democrats are about.
