Gingrich nails it.
In 1968, a deeply split Democratic Party found its convention surrounded by thousands of militant anti-Vietnam War demonstrators. What would later be called a police riot exploded. Tear gas drifted from Grant Park into the convention center.
The American people watched what was essentially a civil war within the Democratic Party on live television. Richard Nixon, the Republican presidential nominee, found himself much closer to the presidency at the end of that week.
This year, the Kamala Harris-Tim Walz team is hoping for a much quieter and more successful convention. Their issueless theme has been captured in recent articles about the so-called “politics of joy.”
The great challenge for Vice President Harris and her team is the “politics of joy” will be completely tone deaf for many Americans.
According to RealClear Politics, 65 percent of Americans say our country is on the wrong track. Only 25 percent say we are moving in the right direction. This isn’t exactly joyful given Harris is the current vice president.
If your family budget is squeezed by the 20 percent price increases under the Joe Biden-Harris administration, you are not likely feeling joyful.
If you have no hope of buying a home because Biden-Harris policies have made it too expensive, you have no joy.
If your loved one was killed in the disastrous collapse in Afghanistan, you don’t feel joyful.
If your community is overrun with illegal immigrants allowed in under the Biden-Harris open border policy, you don’t likely have a great sense of joy.
If you are worried about the threat to Israel’s survival – and the rise of antisemitism on college campuses and in the Democratic Party, you don’t have much joy.
If you consider Walz’s failure to bring in the National Guard during the Minnesota riots in 2020 – or Harris’s effort to help bail out the rioters – you are not likely joyful.
Further, if you are paying attention to the Democratic ticket’s clear anti-police, pro-criminal records, you have no joy.
If you reject men competing in women’s sports, tampons in middle school boys’ restrooms, and parents being told they can’t stop their children from having gender-change operations, you have no joy.
At virtually every level, the practical real-life results of Harris and Walz’s “politics of joy” are angering Americans and killing their joy.
The Democrats’ reaction will be to develop a series of phony promises and an agenda which bears no resemblance to their past behaviors – or what they actually intend to do if given power.
