Hostin: ‘We’re at an Existential Crisis,’ Dems Need to Stop Playing by the Rules

Pam Key 21 Mar 2025

Sunny Hostin told her co-hosts Friday on ABC’s “The View” that President Donald Trump’s second term was an “existential crisis.”
According to Hostin, Democrats need to stop playing by the rules.

When asked about politicians skipping town halls, Hostin said, “It’s very un-American, and it’s cowardly. If you are just, you know, stepping in line the way Republicans generally do behind a candidate that is harming the economy, I mean, you need to listen to the people that put you in office. Instead of being so concerned about maintaining power, why not be more concerned with helping people? That’s the thing that I’m so much more concerned about.”

She continued, “In terms of Tesla’s stock, I think the bottom line is, the only thing that these oligarchs and these billionaires care about is their money. That’s what they care about. And it’s unfortunate that there will be Americans that will be harmed because of this Tesla stock going down but it’s also very unfortunate that many Americans will be harmed because of Elon Musk’s policies and because of what he is doing.”

Hostin added, “The Republicans have thrown out the rulebook. Democrats need to stop playing by those rules. Those rules don’t exist anymore. We’re at an existential crisis right now.  We need to meet energy with energy. That’s why Chuck Schumer, who was here, I think, made a mistake by caving, by caving to the Republican Party. Lets fight them the way they fight.”

Everything's an existential crisis to these ninnies. Everything Trump-related is the worst thing ever to occur in the entire history of the world, too. Pardon me for not taking their hysteria seriously.
The abnormal is not the normal just because it is prevalent.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
Since when have Democrats ever played by the rules?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

  • The problem with everything is they try and make it better without realizing the old way is fine.

My thought exactly.
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.
