Summary

Trump's Victory Shattered The Democrats, They've Been Struggling Ever Since. Something had been brewing in the US for some time, the rise of the far left in the Democratic party predates Trump's victory. In fact, it may have led to his win when Bernie Sanders voters refused to support Hillary. But the night Trump won something happened, his victory was like a sledgehammer on the Democratic party creating cracks that are ever increasingly spiraling out further and further.We didn't see if at the time but the conversation had started. Bernie or Bust voters, the far left democrats, cost hillary clinton the election. Since then the far left and social justice narratives have become increasingly dominant. 2020 Democrats make absurd promises that most Americans disagree with.The narrative that is winning out is that in order to beat Trump we have to go further left and reject moderate and conservative Democrats.But it's the center that wins elections and Trump knows it. 2020 Democrats are embracing woke twitter rhetoric and its going to work much to the benefit of Trump in 2020. While polls do show Trump losing in almost every match-up the polls were wrong in 2016.Technically the polls weren't wrong, they just gave Trump a ridiculously low chance of winning and he won. But the general idea about the polls being wrong is that they shouldn't have favored Hillary.While Trump isn't the cause of the growing far left democrats he certainly helps it grow, and he does it on purpose. Trump knows that by pushing and promoting woke far left democrats and activists it will scare Americans into voting republican.Unfortunately for the US left, this means Democrats are playing into trump's hands and he will likely take 2020 in a landslide.Many Democrats know this and think impeachment is the only way to beat Trump but even this issue is too divisive.The moderate democrats and far left democrats are in a battle for the soul of the party and the far left is winning.

0:00.0	Democrats of all ages agree on nothing and I feel like that makes sense. I was thinking about
0:07.5	what's happening with the Democratic Party and the Left and I realized something interesting.
0:12.1	These far left types call me far right. I call them far left. We're both to the left on the
0:17.8	political spectrum in the United States. This is not an issue of me versus conservatives.
0:23.1	I feel like, you know, a way to see it, a way to explain what's happening, at least as I see it,
0:27.7	is I'm standing here in a moderate position on the Democratic side thinking about 2016. Hillary
0:33.9	Clinton was awful. Bernie was better, though Bernie was further left than I am. He just felt
0:38.3	like a better candidate. That's who I wanted. When that broke down, something happened and I don't
0:44.0	know if it was Trump or something that led to Trump. But all I know is Trump's victory in 2016
0:50.8	was a sledgehammer to the Democratic Party. And now I'm facing Left at the crazies who are ever,
0:58.0	you know, gaining power and growing probably due to Trump's victory that hammer smashing
1:03.0	everything. Meanwhile, their conservatives behind me patting on the back and pushing me saying,
1:06.8	go for it, go for it because both me and the conservative types are upset with the craziness
1:14.1	of the far left. Though conservatives would probably be opposed to Obama too, we are both looking
1:19.6	in the same direction now. It's a really weird situation. Here's the thing. This was predicted.
1:25.2	This was stated. I feel like the Democratic Party is collapsing or reforming or it's a revolution.
1:32.2	But I think collapse might be a better way to describe it because it means they won't win for a
1:36.8	long time. Perhaps I mean, I could be wrong, but whatever is happening now could lead to Democrats
1:44.4	losing. And perhaps it's exactly what led to Hillary Clinton losing. She only needed a few more
1:50.5	votes in some of these states to have beaten Trump, but she couldn't get it. And I think it may be
1:55.5	something that predates Trump. It led to Trump. The rise of the far left and turmoil within the
2:01.4	Democratic Party in my opinion contributed to Hillary Clinton's loss. Also, arrogance. Everybody
