Bruce Springsteen, 76 years young, last week kicked off his new tour with a now-old ritual: histrionically denouncing President Donald Trump — the one thing all right-thinking people can agree on, right?
“We are now, to many, America the reckless, unpredictable, predatory rogue nation. That is this administration’s and this president’s legacy,” lectured The Boss.
Yet the Baby Boomer’s bluster brings up a crucial question for the entire left, from establishment Democrats to the wokest socialists: After Trump, what?
For now, the prez is their entire raison d’etre.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s every media appearance centers on painting Trump as a would-be dictator — because he wants to expel illegal migrants, because he favors voter ID, because he wants to pay TSA agents.
Having an agenda Dems dislike is so, so authoritarian.
Calif. Gov. Gavin Newsom, for now the frontrunner in the ’28 Dem primaries, endlessly preens from his pulpit about Orange Man Bad — even as he mounts a (deeply embarrassing) social-media strategy premised on imitating Trump’s voice and tone.
That same focus persists down the line: Every real White House contender, every major Democrat in Congress, every high-visibility prog politico acts as if Trump will be with us forever.
Why?
Because on every front that matters, Dems have nothing else.
