How Trump Will Exploit Democratic Hypocrisy Before November

By John Jordan | Thursday, 18 June 2026 05:32 PM EDT

All of the “smart set” in the mainstream/legacy media are as confident as a six-year-old in a “Batman” costume. The wholeheartedly believe that the GOP majorities in Congress will be swept away by an inevitable blue wave in November. One word best describes this contention: rubbish.

President Trump is going to save the Republican majorities in Washington, and this is how he’ll do so—by being his best, meaning when he has an opponent to run against and with whom he can engage in political combat.

Yes, midterm elections are more difficult for President Trump because they deny him a singular opponent with whom he can draw a vivid and favorable contrast. The Democrats have given two fantastic opponents to run against: lunacy and hypocrisy.

Lunacy and hypocrisy have the potential to diminish Democratic votes by enough in the right places and with the right groups to save and possibly expand GOP majorities in the U.S. House and U.S. Senate.

Like football, politics is literally a game of inches—and the difference between keeping or expanding GOP majorities and losing them can be measured in thousands of votes.

The Democratic coalition is comprised of various groups, some of which are really not OK with the New Left religion of 27 genders, the mutilation of children, open borders, and walking through Dem-Kabobs of needles and poop.

Lunacy:

Traditionally Democratic-leaning groups of Blacks, Latinos, and working-class whites are “normies” who surely didn’t sign up for any of the post-2020 left-wing craziness. Any Democrat who deviates from the coastal white affluent faculty lounge-chic dogma cannot win the Democratic Party’s nomination and risks large numbers of largely white Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) addled voters not turning out.

This President Trump can exploit this tension between “normie” Black, white, independent, and Latino voters and the “No Kings!” “AWFLs” (Affluent White Female Liberals), aging white hipsters, and the rest of the faculty-lounge left.

Our nation’s 47th commander in chief must consistently and repeatedly highlight how his own views on the below issues are in the mainstream—while the position(s) to which Democratic Party candidates are staked like goats are loony.

I have through my own polling (through an LLC) run numerous surveys of various Democratic-leaning groups here is some of what I found: 80% of Black voters believe that children must obtain parental permission before receiving transgender surgery or medication; 54% of Black voters believe sex education is the responsibility of parents, not schools.

29% feel very strongly about this. 38% of Black voters think that Democratic politicians care more about immigrants than people like themselves. 69% of Black voters say that crime has gotten so bad that businesses close or leave inner cities—and we need to make stopping crime a priority so businesses do not leave.

58% of Latino voters oppose letting boys into girls’ sports; 84% of Latino voters support requiring photo ID to vote; 83% of Latino voters support letting parents object to pornographic material in schools.

These are just a few examples of how Democrats have exposed themselves to being on the wrong side of Black and Latino voters.

Mr. President, there is even more data on this!

Through his ability to drive a message, President Trump can establish over the next few weeks the idea that Republicans are “normies” and that Democrats are far removed from normalcy and reality.

Planting this in the minds of the voters early on is akin to shaping the battlefield—and crucial to undercutting the Democrat brand and their arguments going into the fall.

And younger left-leaning voters really hate them. Already alienated from the Democratic Party in large numbers—with some becoming outright socialists and others becoming true independents—younger voters are less likely to turn out for a party that speaks out of both sides of its mouth.

Younger voters and their turnout are key to numerous races, especially those where universities traditionally churn out large numbers of Democratic votes. This year, younger voter turnout is going to be pivotal in U.S. Senate Races in Michigan, Ohio, Georgia and especially New Hampshire.

Fortunately, there is much to work with here as Democrats nationally have ensured an ample supply of hypocrisy.

Examples include but are not limited to:

Former President Barack Obama and Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., as well as other Democrats calling for enforcement of our immigration laws and the curtailing of illegal immigration. (PS. There are tons of C-SPAN video of this.)

Left-wing darlings raking in millions in contributions from Big Pharma.

Leftist politicians in office: Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt. are leftist leaders and big offenders of putting themselves before the people they purportedly serve.

What President Trump Must Do:

As events allow, make a specific example of lunacy and hypocrisy a key theme each week. Name names and give specifics to make the offender respond to give that week’s example legs.

Most importantly, deploy considerable financial resources via advertising at once to amplify these themes.

Use clips with candidates’ and Democratic leaders’ own words as much as possible.

Done loudly, boldly, and in vivid color—the president and the GOP can inflict huge damage to the Democratic Party brand where it hurts before Democrat campaigns are fully engaged in the post Labor Day sprint.

Do it now, do it hard, setting the Democrats up for a hard fall this November.
