It's been a fast-moving couple of weeks for Democrats as they continue becoming increasingly reactionary to events related to the Trump administration.
The suspension of late night talk host Jimmy Kimmel by host network ABC caused a storm of protest on social media against the network and a number of its affiliates, who refused to carry the show after Kimmel gave political hot takes on the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
The murder of the conservative youth leader Kirk gave a chance for a number of Democrats and others on the political left to express a certain cruel satisfaction upon hearing of his assassination. Then Kimmel appeared to throw gasoline on the partisan fire by blaming the murder of Kirk on a man who
โThe MAGA gang [is] desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,โ Kimmel said on his show September 15th. He offered no proof that the murderer was a MAGA sympathizer.
Nor has any proof arisen that he's MAGA.
Democrats were fired up on social media calling the network's act of suspending the show over protests from affiliates "giving in to Trump" and an act of "fascism."
Then when President Donald Trump joined Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced a link between the use of Tylenol by pregnant women and possible resulting autism in the children of those women, Democrats had to push back, with some pregnant women making video selfies of themselves taking Tylenol simply as a way to display an anti-Trump attitude.
Then Friday, with the announcement of indictments against former FBI Director James Comey, Democrats have been posting on social media, lending support for Comey, who says his only crime is "standing up to Trump." That appears to be enough for Democrats to support him, since he not a Democrat but a former Republican who now identifies as an Independent.
Do Democrats align themselves with certain party beliefs such as protecting women and fighting for the rights of the poor? Or have they now become the Anti-Trump party, who are against everything President Trump promotes?
