The Democrat who people most need to be paying attention to right now isn’t in Congress and isn’t expected to run for president. It’s Jennifer Welch, the gaunt, puckered up nag who hosts a popular podcast and who now proudly displays on a regular basis just how dark and decayed the left’s collective soul has become.
It’s been fairly obvious for some time that the chief aims of the Democrat Party are to crush the independent American middle class and eliminate the nuclear family. They hate both with equal passion. But until recently, generally speaking, those goals were at least disguised with lies about “climate change” and “equity” and “our democracy.” Now it’s common for Democrats to drop all pretense and simply express their hatred outright for anyone with a different political opinion.
That’s Welch, exhibiting all the distilled irrationality and sulfuric acid contained in the average modern Democrat, but without any effort to conceal or pass it off as some intense form of empathy.
On a recent episode of her podcast with former CNN actress Jim Acosta, Welch spoke for all Democrats as to what the party wants, should it take power in Congress after this year’s midterm elections. “The blue tsunami means that Congress is going to haul Elon Musk, ‘Big Balls,’ and a bunch of other people’s ass in front and say, ‘What crimes did you commit?’ and it’s going to get really serious and the same with Trump,” she said. As a reminder, “Big Balls” is the nickname of a 20-something enlisted by Musk’s D.O.G.E. effort to shrink the federal bureaucracy, and his offenses to-date include asking government employees to describe their day-to-day work life and also interfering in the attempted assault of a female pedestrian being jumped by thugs, resulting in his own hospitalization.
Welch continued, “Because I believe — and this is just my opinion — that Trump and all of the bottom-feeding morons surrounding him, and Elon Musk and all the bottom-feeding, clinger-oners surrounding him— I think they commit crimes every day.” She didn’t say what crimes she suspects were committed as they potentially relate to the president, or Musk or “Big Balls,” but she didn’t need to because that wasn’t her point. “And I think to reconcile all of this is going to take hard core, not ‘integrity Democrats,’ [but] ‘f*ck-you Democrats,’ f*ck you for fucking over our country,” she said. “We are serious about this. We are prosecuting. We are going to uncover every document, every phone call, everything you did. We will be relentless about it. And that’s the mindset they’ve got to have. Because I think the electorate is going from, we’ve got to get [Trump] out, but also we want accountability.”
The point, rather, is to find a reason, or, if necessary, make one up, that puts Welch’s political opposites in prison. Or worse.
That’s what they want and, like Welch, they are increasingly uninterested in disguising it with any form of pretense about laws (actual laws, not just their gut feelings about what should be allowed) or morality. They simply experience scalding hot anger day in and day out and nothing short torturing non-committed Democrat voters will suffice.
In an episode this week on the New York Times’ “The Daily” podcast, Times content creator Charlie Savage previewed what’s coming, just as Jennifer Welch did. “If there are no checks and balances and the rule of law means nothing and there aren’t norms,” he said, “then it’s existential that that side stays in power, there has to be a war to prevent the other side from coming in.” Host Michael Barbaro replied, “It’s a government in which you have to annihilate your opponent.”
Yeah, that’s exactly how Democrats see it, and they’re not playing about it.
