DEMOCRATS IN FREEFALL: WHY AMERICA IS TURNING AWAY

The world is in deep shit, but let’s get specific: the Democratic Party is facing a historic collapse in public trust, with a jaw-dropping 21-point plunge in approval since 2021—down to a record-low 29% favorability. This isn’t just a blip or a bad polling week; it’s a full-blown nightmare scenario for a party that once claimed the moral high ground on justice, compassion, and public safety. The question is: How did the party of “the people” end up protecting alleged gang members while turning a blind eye to the American families shattered by the fallout of their own policies?
THE KILMAR ABREGO GARCIA NIGHTMARE: DEMOCRATS’ PRIORITIES EXPOSED
Let’s start with the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national living illegally in Maryland. Detained and deported for suspected ties to MS-13, Garcia’s story became a cause célèbre for Maryland’s Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen, who vowed he “won’t rest” until Garcia is brought back from a notorious El Salvadorian prison. Never mind that police records and court filings exposed Garcia as a “violent” repeat domestic abuser, with his own wife documenting years of beatings and fear for her life. Never mind the gang field interview sheets, the protective order, and the fact that Garcia was part of a group with known MS-13 members when arrested. The Democrats’ response? Mobilize taxpayer dollars, plan international delegations, and wage legal battles—not for American victims, but for a man accused of terrorizing his own family and community.
RACHEL MORIN AND KAYLA HAMILTON: THE FORGOTTEN VICTIMS
Now, contrast that with the stories of Rachel Morin and Kayla Hamilton—Maryland women brutally murdered by illegal immigrants with MS-13 ties. Rachel Morin’s mother, Patty, didn’t get a Senate delegation or a media blitz. She got silence. “I’ve heard no response from any Democrats. They’re ignoring it,” Patty said, after her daughter was killed by a Salvadoran national who crossed the border illegally and left five children without a mother. Kayla Hamilton’s family, too, was left in the cold after Kayla—an autistic woman—was raped and strangled by a 17-year-old MS-13 member allowed into the country despite glaring red flags, gang tattoos, and a criminal record in El Salvador. Her mother, Tammy Nobles, testified before Congress that Democrats “never looked at her pictures when I testified. They never looked at her photos or said her name. They did not offer any solutions on the ongoing problem”.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: A PARTY OUT OF TOUCH
This isn’t just about Maryland. It’s about a party that has, in the eyes of millions, lost the plot. While families mourn, Democratic leaders are seen jetting off to defend the “rights” of non-citizens with violent pasts, all while failing to even acknowledge the pain of their own constituents. The optics? Abysmal. The substance? Even worse. The Democratic Party’s favorability is now lower than lawyers, undertakers, and even car salesmen. More Americans believe in extraterrestrials than trust the Democrats to run the country.
“It’s mind-boggling the priorities of the modern-day Democrat party,” said the White House press secretary. “Spending more time defending illegal immigrant gang members than their own constituents and law-abiding American citizens”.
THE CULTURE OF DENIAL: DEMS AND THE “SEE NO EVIL” STRATEGY
Democratic leaders, when confronted, offer platitudes about “caring for every victim of crime” while doubling down on policies that have allowed violent criminals to slip through the cracks. The party’s base is fracturing, with even loyal Democrats demanding new leadership and a return to mainstream values. The internal civil war is so intense that only 63% of Democrats have a positive view of their own party—a staggering drop from 81% just four years ago.
SANCTUARY POLICIES AND THE DEEP STATE NIGHTMARE
Maryland, like many blue states, has become a patchwork of sanctuary jurisdictions, where local officials refuse to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement. The result? A revolving door for criminals, bureaucratic paralysis, and a growing sense that the Democratic Party is more interested in protecting the rights of the accused than the safety of the innocent. The deep state, the globalist NGOs, the WEF—they all cheer as the party of “compassion” dismantles the very systems meant to protect Americans from the worst the world has to offer.
THE OUTCOME: A PARTY LOSING FAITH, FAST
The numbers don’t lie. Democrats are down 21 points in approval since 2021, with only 29% of Americans holding a favorable view—an all-time low. The party is bleeding support among working-class voters, nonwhite voters, and even the young, once its most reliable base2. The perception—fueled by cases like Garcia, Morin, and Hamilton—is that Democrats have become the party of the criminal, not the citizen. The party of the perpetrator, not the victim.
FINAL WORD: THE NIGHTMARE CONTINUES
In a world spiraling toward chaos, Americans are desperate for leaders who will defend them, not abandon them. Until the Democratic Party wakes up to the reality on the ground—until it stops prioritizing the rights of the accused over the lives of the innocent—expect its approval to keep falling, its base to keep fracturing, and its opponents to keep winning. The nightmare isn’t over. It’s just beginning.
“We should be protecting life, we should be protecting American citizens, that’s why you’re elected, that’s why we pay taxes. They are so out of touch with the American people, it boggles my mind.”— Patty Morin, mother of Rachel Morin
THE DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN EXPOSED. THE QUESTION IS: WILL THEY EVER RECOVER?
