Axios: Guess What Democrats Have Stopped Talking About?
Ed Morrissey  4:00 PM | August 01, 2025
 
Here's a hint: It's something that Democrats could not shut up about for the last four years. No, it's not Defund the Police. That mission still gets some support from the progressive/socialist vanguard, as we see in New York City. And you know it's not about Donald Trump and his supposed "threat to democracy."
 

So which Democrat dog has ceased its barking? The one that barked up the wrong energy tree, according to an Axios review of Democrat speeches and social-media accounts:

Democrats aren't explicitly disavowing the Green New Deal, but they've abruptly stopped talking about it as they scramble to find new ways to talk about climate change.

Over the past three months, Democrats in Congress collectively said "Green New Deal" only six times across social media and on the floor.
That's the fewest mentions since the proposal rose to prominence in the fall of 2018, according to data from the legislative tracking service Quorum.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Come to think about it, that's right!

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

"Climate fatigue" is just as real as any other form of propaganda overload.

Extremely expensive (and sometimes inappropriate) "solutions" for alleged problems that have been going to lead to the end of the world (in the next ten years!) for the last four decades have finally broken through the fog of panic and been seen for what they are: an agenda based boondoggle (not a simple alternative) funded from the pubic coffers and through increased cost, with little, if any, improvement to the alleged problem they were supposed to remedy.

In the meantime, the siphoning off of funding, the lack of competence, not getting the job done, lead to either surrender to the prophets (profits?) of doom, and a drastically fatalistic attitude in youth (often bordering on self-destruction) or a serious effit attitude that just looks for the cheapest and most effective way to get by--and that way is NOT the Green New Deal.
But there have been enough years of enough lies that either the younger generations are 'all in' with the propaganda or they just don't believe much of anything they have been told.

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.
