David Hogg is Performing Every Bit as Well for Democrats as He Did for the Gun Control Industry

 

David Hogg first balled up his little fist and raised his delicate arm in the air at an AstroTurfed gun control rally following the Parkland school shooting. The gaunt, twink-ish Floridian was cunning enough, though, to parlay his newfound celebrity, the fawning profiles and softball interviews into a free education at Harvard and a top spot in the civilian disarmament industrial complex’s firmament of camera-ready gun-grabbers.

Over the years, while advocating ardently for limits on the civil rights of his fellow citizens, Hogg washed out of a failed business venture, claimed that he’d been the target of seven assassination attempts and announced that he’s decided not to reproduce. All of those adventures kept Hogg’s name in the news, though, and this year, improbably, propelled him to a senior position in the Democrat Party.

The thing is, David has never been successful at, well, anything. Not at his schoolwork, not in the liberal pillow business and certainly not at advocating for stricter gun control laws. When Hogg rose to prominence in early 2018, there were 13 states with permitless carry laws in the US. Six years later, we ended 2024 with 29 permitless or “constitutional” carry states. So whatever it is that Hogg’s been doing all these years, it hasn’t moved the anti-gun ball forward.

Why the DNC looked at his CV and decided that he’s exactly the kind of individual they need right now to put a new sheen on their tarnished post-2024 brand isn’t quite clear. To anyone. And now, the latest polling numbers show that, at least so far, Hogg’s doing for the Democrat brand exactly what he did for gun control.

To be fair, these latest numbers are part of a long slide that started just after the mentally diminished former CinC took office in 2021.

Democrats approval rating

There are a lot of other factors that have contributed to the Dems’ long slide into its current pit of voter disapproval than just the misadventures of young David Hogg of south Florida.

Still, given the fact that banning and confiscating guns have long been key planks in the Democrats’ platform, all we can do now is cheer David on and wish him a long tenure as a Donkey Party big wig.

    I missed screamer girl this time when Trump was elected. But here she is when Trump was elected to his first term:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDYNVH0U3cs

    With her scream she exemplified everything wrong with the left-wingers, that mental illness anguish they create in their own minds.

    Now Trump is back … and the Democrat party evil is being destroyed and screaming that mental illness anguish, and the Democrats are doing all the work for him and collapsing internally as they fight their own internal Dem-on-Dem civil war with circular firing squads.

    1. “Now Trump is back … “

      And ethics are out the window, now that Donald Trump has signed an executive order, allowing lobbyists to buy Republican politicians:

      “Trump axes Biden-era ethics order, lobbying restrictions
      BY TAYLOR GIORNO 01/22/25 05:16 PM ET

      Amid a flood of executive orders signed Monday, President Trump revoked an executive order signed by former President Biden that set ethics and lobbying rules for appointees.

      The Biden-era executive order banned gifts from lobbyists and expanded the requisite “cooling off” period for appointees who leave federal service to join lobbying firms. The order also implemented a one-year ban on “shadow lobbying,” a common practice in Washington in which former officials advise those lobbying government officials rather than directly lobbying themselves.“

        1. You need to catch up with reality, Trump has legalized bribery for foreign agents:

          “Trump Lifts Ban On US Weapons Companies Bribing Foreigners
          By freezing enforcement of the FCPA, he risks reopening the door for more corruption in the domestic arms industry
          ANALYSIS | MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX
          Military Industrial Complex Arms Sales
          WILLIAM HARTUNGASHLEY GATE
          FEB 24, 2025
          On February 10, President Trump issued an executive order that directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to pause the enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The FCPA was the first law in modern history to ban a country’s own citizens and companies from bribing foreign officials.

          Citing the law as one of the “excessive barriers to American commerce abroad,” President Trump has instructed the attorney general to — at her discretion — “cease the initiation of any new FCPA investigations or enforcement actions.”

            Reality huh, coming from a known liar who at best presents distorted half truths gleaned from discredited sources? Sorry guy at this point I would believe the fevered rantings of a drugged out schizo before anything you have to say.

  2. Hogg is more of a symptom of the inherent problems with today’s Democratic Party rather than their cause (he’s only been there a few weeks).

    Hogg is the classic empty suit that is all PR / smoke and mirrors, but possessing no actual skills or substance. (Kamala Harris is the best example of this . . . BTW, anyone aware that she failed the bar exam at least once?) But because the current Democratic Party is all about appearances and virtue signaling over substance, Hogg is a natural fit for its leadership.

    The looming civil war between Democratic realists like Fetterman (and amazingly Schumer) who recognize the hole they are in, and the hard-left AOC / Sanders base that demands ideological purity is going to be bloody, especially if PDT continues his winning ways. Paraphrasing Kissinger’s observation on the Iran-Iraq War, here’s hoping both sides on this Democratic Party dustup will lose.

    1. “Kamala Harris is the best example of this . . . BTW, anyone aware that she failed the bar exam at least once?“

      Anyone aware that there are plenty of Republican politicians who have failed the bar? How about Pete, who failed it four times:

      “Governor Pete Wilson served as California’s 36th governor as well as a Republican U.S. Senator, a San Diego mayor, and a state assemblyman. Not many people realize that Governor Wilson had to take the bar four separate times before finally passing the exam. Clearly, failure did not stop this man from doing great things in his career.”

      Poor Charlie, he failed it twice:

      “Governor Charlie Crist
      The former Florida Attorney General and Governor failed his first two attempts at the bar exam. This didn’t stop him from leading a successful career in public service. He is currently serving as the U.S. Representative from Florida’s 13th District.“

        And I am sure her LSAT score would be high enough to grant her admission at the typical score range needed for white applicants to enter law school right?

        1. “Governor Pete Wilson served as California’s 36th governor as well as a Republican U.S. Senator“

          And I am sure Pete’s LSAT score would be high enough to grant him admission at the typical score range needed for minority applicants to enter law school, right?

          1. SAFEupstateFML

            Did they utterly fail at everything they did? No? Then yeah probably. Anything else?

  3. They just need to double down on open borders, lauding men in skirts beating women, medical experimentation on minors, sterilizing the mentally ill, no pre-trial holds, stoking global wars and, of course, burning through trillions of tax dollars with absolutely nothing to show for it.

    This is a winning platform. This is what Americans want.

    1. You gotta love that video of Democrat leader Hakeem Jeffries insisting that “the American people are with us”, when … there’s nobody anywhere near him or behind him or with him. That video spoke volumes.

      h ttps://www.msn.com/en-us/politics/government/dem-leader-hakeem-jeffries-trolled-for-bizarre-video-insisting-american-people-are-with-us-with-no-support-in-sight/ar-AA1Abi75

      1. If they truly believed that the American people were with them, then they wouldn’t feel the need to lie about everything. They won’t change because they actually support these terrible policies. Them regaining power isn’t a matter of them changing their ways. It’s a matter of fooling more people, just like they’ve done in the past.

        If open border policies are so wonderful, then why weren’t they bragging about them? Instead, they lied, and said there was no border crisis. Then election year rolled around, and the border crisis was suddenly Trump’s fault.

        A staggering 75 percent of Democrats do not believe President Joe Biden’s deputies deliberately kept the border open for migrants, according to a February poll by Harvard Harris.
        https://harvardharrispoll.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/HHP_Feb2025_vFinal.pdf

        That was just last month! That’s how ignorant Democrats are. All it took was enforcing existing laws to fix the border crisis.

        Standard Dem response to their unpopular policies: “That isn’t true! That isn’t happening!”

        Then, as soon as they aren’t defending it, they say: “It’s wonderful that these things are happening. If you don’t agree, you’re a [__]ist, and you’re [__]phobic, and you’re xenophobic, and you hate women and children and immigrants and non-white people, and Jesus wouldn’t agree with you!”

  4. “a free education at Harvard”

    Hey Dan the Man, let’s not perpetuate the leftist lies. Don’t call what those places do “educating”. That line of yours should read “a free indoctrination at Harvard.”

    “Why the DNC looked at his CV and decided that he’s exactly the kind of individual they need right now to put a new sheen on their tarnished post-2024 brand isn’t quite clear. ”

    Oh, that one’s easy — he exemplifies today’s diverse, inclusive Democrat party, by being a white male … um, wait…

  5. I just wish people and conservative pundits would stop telling the Democrats what they are doing wrong because some of them are starting to listen.
    “Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win” Sun Tzu
    We won in November and the Democrats lost. War has become their only tool. Now it is up to us to see that they lose that war.
