Relentless negatives from Pravda Media, Left-captured American institutions doubling down on radical-left policies … so much liberal fatigue that rank-and-file Republicans are throwing up their hands and promising to stay home come November.

Which, of course, is what the Democrat reprobates are counting on. Even when Republicans hold the White House, GOP voters are notorious for becoming no-shows at the midterms. I get it. It’s due in great part to what makes up the bunch of surly cats who constitute Why-Can’t-You-Leave-Me-Alone conservatives. Why can’t the government we elect just follow the mandate of Constitutional governing and let us get back to living our lives?

Democrats have other plans. And their glitterati are gathering to raise money and plot the revenge that comes with winning in 2026 and, especially, 2028.

Democrat governors, many believed to be vying for the party’s 2028 presidential nomination, gathered on Thursday for a pricey Los Angeles fundraising event.

The private gathering — where tickets cost as much as $100K a pop — was attended by top party members like Gov. Gavin Newsom, Arizona’s Gov. Katie Hobbs, Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, among others, the LA Times reported.

Ostensibly, this lavish soiree of the Left Coast’s swells was for the benefit of the Democratic Governor’s Association with about $1.5 million going into that bank account — cha-ching! — but this is about the first round of debutante balls for Democrat pretenders to the White House being reviewed by Our Betters who feel they, not the great unwashed rabble, get to anoint the next President.

The event was held at the upscale mansion owned by liquor heiress Ellen Bronfman Hauptman and husband Andrew Hauptman.

The Democratic party members mingled and talked politics with members of the Hollywood elite. Executive producer of the “The Hangover” movie series, Scott Budnick, was in attendance, along with director J.J. Abrams, “Lost” screenwriter Damon Lindelof, and former Walt Disney executive Alan Horn.

Despite playing coy, Newsom recently dropped a political bomb, hinting that he’ll make a run for the White House in 2028.

“If we don’t take back the House of Representatives in 2026. Nothing else matters,” (snip)

When asked about a “second date” with his supporters at the ballot box in 2028, Newsom said, “the work that needs to be done between now and then to get Speaker [Hakeem] Jeffries that gavel. If we can do that? Then you and I can go on a second date,” Newsom said.

I shouldn’t have to remind any, let alone Republicans, that Newsom has been running for President for years and has been using his “book tour” as a figleaf for early campaigning.

Make no mistake about this, too. Democrats have never accepted that voters put Trump in the White House — twice. “Our Democracy” to them is only legitimate when their candidate wins. And starting with this year they not only want to reverse President Trump’s policies (e.g. reopening the southern border and granting blanket amnesty to illegal aliens) they want to permanently seize the government for themselves.

…It is notable that the Democrats want Congress and the courts to push through these changes, not the public. The most voters remain opposed to court packing and making D.C. a state.

Republicans, Independents, conservatives, observant Christians and Jews, and anyone who voted for Trump and his policies … you are to be targeted and sidelined one way or another. This is real, they are quite content to say it outloud.

🧵 THREAD: You've heard the phrase "OUR DEMOCRACY" a million times. But what exactly is "OUR DEMOCRACY"? 🤔

When they say "democracy," they don't mean a republic. They don't mean consent of the governed. They don't mean your right to choose your own leaders.

They mean a system… pic.twitter.com/Y7dUUbOXpS

Now is not the time for Republicans for pointing to all the logs Pravda media invents in Trump’s eye and throwing a stompy-foot tantrum. NOT showing up at the polls put radical-left Spanberger in Virginia’s governor mansion and passed the Republican-erasing gerrymander.

And showing up to vote is even before we can discuss the cheating Democrats will do this November.

You want Jeffries as House Speaker? Newsom and his lunatic wife First Partner in the White House? No?

Then vote. That’s the minimum.
