2028—The Year Democrats Finally Eat Themselves
Imagine watching a Cirque du Soleil act choreographed by drunk toddlers on roller skates—that’s the Democrat Party prepping for 2028.
With zero bench, sagging polls, and candidates with the charisma of DMV clerks, they’re already melting down two elections early.
It’s not strategy. It’s surrender in slow motion. And if you think they’re flailing now, wait until you see what happens when Kamala Harris starts polling behind AOC in a state where cows outnumber liberals. It won’t be pretty—but it’ll be hilarious.
The Democratic Party Wears Jackboots of Self‑Sabotage
Let’s rewind to 2024: Democrats strolled into the Presidential Election courtesy of ACT Blue—a fundraising engine now sputtering under questionable donation transparency.
Historically, parties in serious decline don’t just fade—they implode in spectacular fashion. Their response? Spin so blinding you’d need sunglasses indoors. But admit it: it’s not reinvention. It’s denial with fancy lighting.
David Hogg: The PAC That Ate Itself
Enter David Hogg: former Parkland teen turned brief DNC vice-chair and current head of the Leaders We Deserve PAC.
Irony check: by June 2025, he’d been ousted from the DNC for overreach—and his freshly minted PAC has underperformed spectacularly.
His marquee endorsement, Deja Foxx, managed just ~21% in Arizona’s special primary—against a 62% opponent win, despite Hogg’s promise of $20 million and his PAC delivering only $1.5 million.
That’s political store credit—“One day you can upgrade your candidate!”
Progressive Splinter-itis: Memes Over Mantras
I wrote not that long ago about the Left’s now masquerading” as progress.
From AOC’s TikTok dance demos to “Save the planet—buy me guac!” messaging, Democrats stopped debating policy—instead, they’re staging influencer content.
2028 Field: Familiar Faces, Different Punchlines
Let’s introduce a few of the cast for the comedy of errors:
-
Kamala Harris: Still polling around 25%, down from 36% in February. That’s a dive worthy of Olympic medals—and the Republicans are ready to lob grenades.
-
Gavin Newsom: Visiting South Carolina, trying to stir-up the South. Newsom is a liberal lightning rod—too woke for TV moms, too liberal for Midwest dads.
-
AOC: Still Instagrammable, but mostly astrotured.
-
Pete Buttigieg: Still speaking in TED Talk cadence. He’s like a corporate PowerPoint—works fine in boardrooms, terrifies the firehouse.
-
Andy Beshear: The “nice governor,” now testing the waters in rural diners. But “nice” doesn’t win primaries—it loses noise wars.
Looking back, no one expected Trump in 2016, either. But none of these candidates is anywhere close to being a Donald Trump. Democrats instead will field jaunty dancers on the Titanic’s deck.
McLaughlin Poll: Boat’s Tiering Already
The latest national survey from McLaughlin & Associates shows Harris at 25%—down 11 points since February. AOC and Newsom tie at 9%, Buttigieg at 8%.
On the GOP side, JD Vance leads with 31%, down from 43%; Trump Jr. at 19%, DeSantis at 8%. You can certainly expect Marco Rubio to be in this picture soon, and I doubt that Don Jr runs.
ReTrumplicans & Independents: The New MAGA Mix
“ReTrumplicans”: former Democrats and wishy-washy Independents embracing MAGA identity without switching parties.
As MAGA becomes a purple-labeled ideology, even the fence-sitters leaning conservative find reasons to signal allegiance. This quiet migration isn’t conspiracy—it’s cartographic: redistricting correctly which prevents Democrat gerrymandering. Fair elections guarantee control for Republicans, regardless of midterm swings. Democrats argue about guac flavor while MAGA cements its power via maps and math.
Historical Rewind: 1972, 1994, 2010—Pattern or Law?
Let’s pull the filmstrip:
-
1972: McGovern’s progressive pivot brought the GOP landslide—Republicans picked up 49 seats.
-
1994: After Clinton, Newt Gingrich and the Contract with America peeled off conservative-liberal hybrids.
-
2010: Tea Party Republicans wrecked the House—Obama lost 60 seats.
-
2018: The beginning of The Big Cheat. Democrats proved that they could steal elections right from under our noses. But make no mistake about it; the big red wave happened that year.
What Lies Ahead: Midterms, Maps, and Mutiny
-
Midterms (2026): Look for bloodbath-level losses by Democrats that rivals 2010.
-
Redistricting: Simultaneous map redraws guarantee GOP resilience. Democrats might gain votes—but net seats will stay Republican-leaning.
-
Primary chaos (2027): Watch Leftists like Newsom, Buttigieg and (hopefully) AOC cannibalize each other in early states—setting up a general speech battle between splits of the Left.
The GOP Side: MAGA Movers & Shakers
-
JD Vance: Enjoying a strong lead post-CPAC—peak establishment MAGA with populist capacity.
-
Trump Jr.: Solid 19%, buoyed by base nostalgia and an echo of his father’s energy; again, I don’t see this happening.
-
DeSantis: Lagging at 8%, struggling but he will make a resurgence.
Trump will likely select his heir-apparent, that will make this race even more intriguing. And as I mentioned earlier, Secretary of State Marco Rubio will be formiddable.
The Arc: Implosion In Four Acts
-
2024 loss – structural.
-
Midterm meltdown (2026) – electoral.
-
PAC-driven progressive civil war (2025–26) – existential.
-
2028 primary freakshow – final act.
That’s not an arc. That’s a slide into parody.
Closing Thoughts
2028 looms like a rerun nobody wants to see—predictable, hollow, and already camouflaged as recovery. With Democrats reloading on hashtags, influencer visits, and virtue-subscriptions, they’re missing the point: strategy trumps spectacle.
MAGA gains via redistricting, ideological loyalty, and base consolidation backed by Trump-endorsed super PACs targeting even recalcitrant Republicans. They’re not just in a better place—they’ve rewritten the rules while Democrats argue about guac recipes.
