A recent poll asked Democrats if they thought the Democrat Party was fighting Trump enough or not and 77% said not enough. That’s three quarters of Democrats, if the poll is accurate, think the Democrats should fight him more than they are now. They arrested him. They took hundreds of millions of dollars from him. They tried to put him in prison. They shot him in the head. But that’s not enough.

From one point of view, I understand. I mean, he’s President now, so obviously they didn’t fight him enough to stop that. But where do you go from there? They demanded social media companies ban Republicans who said things they didn’t agree with. They demanded links to articles they disagreed with be deleted and people who shared them banned. They straight up censored political speech during elections. They sent Republicans to prison during the Biden administration. Pro Life protestors standing peacefully outside abortion clinics were sent to prison. Government employees shot and killed Republicans, sometimes in public, sometimes in their homes. Others were put in solitary confinement, and some were denied life-saving treatments while in government confinement.

Not one Democrat I know has told me that any of this was wrong. I have had Democrats tell me that they deserved it. That the Republicans banned from social media deserved it. That Trump deserved it. That the Republicans put in prison deserved it. That Republicans shot dead deserved it. Democrats I know have never said to me that this was wrong.

And when asked now, 77% of Democrats say that their leaders aren’t fighting back enough. If this is accurate, that means the next time Democrats get in charge, they will want do more than what they did during the Biden administration. Because even now, three quarters of Democrats say their party is not fighting Trump enough.

Consider what that means for the future. Because there will be a time when Democrats get power again. It might be 2026. 2028. 2030. 2032. Heck, there are special elections right now in 2025. There are elections across the country every November. And Democrats are running in them. Democrats that can read polls and know that three quarters of their voters think they are not fighting hard enough now.

What will they do next if what they’ve done so far is not enough?
