‘We are at war – bring it on’: Democrats ready to fight dirty to stop Trump | Democrats
ID was an exciting conversation that put the democrats in tears. “When someone is ruthless or when you behave like a bully, you don’t bow to their levels, Micel Michelle Obama said in Philadelphia in 2016.
Speaking in Chicago this week, move forward to Ken Martin, the President of the Democratic National Committee. “This is not the Democratic Party of your grandfather who will bring a pen to the knife fight,” insisted. “This is a new Democratic Party. We bring a knife to a knife fight and we will fight fire with fire.”
Donald was a mercilessly honest acceptance of what ten years of Trump’s policy worked. The Democrats convinced the Maga that it was a transition phase and a fire to break. The new generation of pugnacious democrats were prepared to remove gloves and fight dirty.
It triggers it Roasted soil approach Trump’s pressure to find more Republican Seat in the House of Representatives before the most important midterm exam next year through Gerrymandering, which is the process of manipulating election maps to benefit a party.
In the call of the President, Texas Republicans proposed new congress regions aiming to translate five democratic seats, dilute the voting power of millions of people, and further distort a deep Partisan map in this state.
Trump also sent Vice President JD Vance. To Indiana To discuss the redistribution of the state governor and legislative leaders in the hope of winning one or two Republican Seats. Separately, a senior republican leader in Florida announced his plans to redistribute the efforts in his own state state accepted by the President.
After months of inertia and obscenity in response to Trump, the Democrats now find their voices and take a stand. The Democratic State Legislative Assembly from Texas fled their own states to reject a core to the Republicans and vote for the new proposed map.
Even if the democratic governors were limited, the democratic governors swam the likelihood of hurry to redraw their own state maps in retaliation. Gavin Newsom, the governor of California, wants Democratic Gerrymandering if Texas progresses, if voters have to skip an independent redistribution commission.
Newsom said: “Donald Trump is trying to steal the 2026 elections. We can’t lean back and watch it.”
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced his intention of forcing the reputation to neutralize the Republican map traction. Pritzker condemned Trump as a “fraud, and said:“ As far as I am worried, everything is on the table. ”
New York stands with six Texas democrats who took refuge in Hochul Given to journalists: “I’m tired of fighting this fight behind me. We’re in the war, and that’s why the gloves are closed – and I say.”
They have the support of leading party figures such as President Barack Obama’s former chief prosecutor Eric Holder. The owner, who has been campaigning for a long time to end his organization Gerrymandering, confessed that he had changed his position this week and now believed that the Democrats should respond with their own redpede.
Owner He told the New York Times: “What guides the democrats, I think it’s a legitimate reaction. So, as the Germans have invaded France. Only,“ Well, we are against war and the peaceful resolution of disagreements ”?
The opinion is shared by another lifetime defender of the independent redistribution commissions. Norm EisenThe founding partner of the action of democracy advocates, a non -partisan group dedicated to a lawyer and free and fair elections, said, “You should never bring a knife to the armed conflict. In my opinion, you should bring a bahoka.
Orum I believe that we have no other options right now, and our option to respond to these autocratic maneuvers by the activists in Trump and Texas with the major-democracy force.
Mid -ten years Redistribute It makes some observers uneasy. They feared that the democrats would sacrifice the moral high ground by using anti-democratic measures in the name of democracy, and during the Vietnam War, he called for a statement attributed to a US army’s main branch: “It was necessary to destroy the town.”
Eisen accepts the “tremendous danger” at the bottom of a race. However, he added: orsa If we spend time to squeeze our hands about our hands, we can find that we lost our democracy while we were.
A few democrats, when they left the new Barnuckle approach to the Texas Democrats in 2021, they are better than Jasmine Cromehett, one of the leaders, when they left the Republicans to block.
Cockett, a congress member in Washington, argues that such tactics are effective. Guardian’a a telephone conversation this week, “why this country awakens the conscience, this is a gain,” he said. “If he shows those who decide to stay on the couch during the last presidency, there are democrats who are willing and ready to fight – but you should give us a chance.”
Republicans responded more aggressively to the efforts of Texas democrats to stop the procedure than four years ago. Senator John Cornyn said FBI accepted To help Follow Texas Democrats. Governor Greg Abbott, dozens of tasks to remove legal proceedings, he said.
Crockett believes that the authoritarian threat is so severe that the democrats should stand and fight. “They took our kindness for weakness,” he said. “The democrats want to be very fair.
“Therefore, you will not find independent redistribution committees in the Republican states; you find them in democratic states. How can we fight when we connect our own hands behind us?
“Democracy is now hanging by a subject at this point. We have a team playing chess and a team playing checkers. We have to play the same game.
The Democrats have been accused of being shy for a long time, they are more concerned about being in power, and avoid vicious attacks against competitors, except for the remarkable exception of their left wings. At that time, 78 -year -old Joe Biden tried to use his presidency to build bridges, to recover the two sides and the spirit of America.
44-year-old Cockett represents the new generation Smash-South politicians ready for oral war. Last year, the Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene terminated the “Bleach blond bad butch body at a congress hearing. Last Weekend He said a conference Trump is a “piece of shit” that won a low chest from his audience.
Cockett believes that the democratic base cries for the party to be more brave. “People don’t have a problem not to have all the answers, but I don’t think people are good to not be willing to fight their own name.
“We have this extreme praise of the voices of the Republic because they do what they want, and then we just let it happen. People ‘What is the note? I can never vote for the Republicans, but what will you do?’
“This is about this relationship and trust with our base and reporting that we will be warriors they need – not just in response, but also proactive.”
Newsom, a potential 2028 presidential candidate, continues its glove approach. He described Trump as a “cold liar ,, he filed a lawsuit for illegally federalizing the national guards, and when the border was threatened to be arrested by Cars Tom Homan.
Simon RosenbergA democratic strategist said: “You see that the Clintons era and Pelosis and Bidens are now given to a new democratic leader.. As you expect in a democracy, you see that new sounds emerge in this Scrum. There is no responsible person. “
Even when fighting in a more aggressive way, Rosenberg argues that the democrats have to clarify the values they are trying to defend. “We are struggling for the future of our country and our democracy,” he said. “Now we have to come out of patriotism and love of the country and let it be our north star and guiding power throughout all this.
“Not to fight means that you accept and obey in advance. In this case, we decide to draw a line. Now we must fight and win.”
