Democratic Representative Ro Khanna recounts an encounter\u200d with a flight attendant, who criticized the party&#8217;s actions as embarrassing and heartless. The piece \u200ddescribes several instances of \u200bdisruptive\u2064 behavior from Democratic lawmakers during the speech, notably highlighting Representative al Green&#8217;s heckling, which led to\u200b his \u200cremoval \u200bfrom the chamber and subsequent censure.<\/p>\n<p>The narrative suggests that \u2063the Democratic response\u200c to various poignant moments in Trump&#8217;s speech\u2014such as\u200b the acknowledgment \u200dof\u2063 a child with cancer and\u200c the families of victims\u2014was marked\u200b by silence \u200dand lack of \u2062support. Consequently, there is a perception \u200cthat democrats are\u2063 unwilling to demonstrate decency towards Trump or his accomplishments due to fear of alienating their base. The article contends that although some \u200ddemocrats, like Khanna, attempt to express a commitment to kindness and decency, the \u200dparty&#8217;s overall actions contradict this sentiment.<\/p>\n<p>Polls indicate that a vast majority of viewers found the Democratic behavior inappropriate, \u200bwith Trump&#8217;s \u200bspeech receiving a notably high approval rating.The article concludes by asserting that Democrats recognize their actions as detrimental to their image but feel bound to the extreme positions of their base, resulting in a paradox \u2062where they cannot express compassion, even in unifying moments.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Democrats crossed the proverbial Rubicon earlier this week, and some of them seem to regret it.<\/p>\n<p>They cannot do anything about it, however, for they have made their deal with the devil.<\/p>\n<p>Thursday on the social media platform X, Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna of California described an incident in which a flight attendant chased him down at the airport in Chicago and chastised him for congressional Democrats&rsquo; appalling behavior during President Donald Trump&rsquo;s joint address to Congress on Tuesday evening.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Sir, I am a Democrat but the way the party behaved was embarrassing.

Democrats simply discovered that the viewing public found them and their antics revolting. According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2025\/03\/05\/politics\/cnn-poll-trump-address-congress\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CNN poll<\/a>, 80 percent of viewers characterized Green&rsquo;s behavior as &ldquo;inappropriate.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, social media users have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/lifelong-democrat-flips-parties-hitting-breaking-point-trumps-address-congress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">blasted the Democrats<\/a> for their petulance and callousness.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/flash-poll-shows-trumps-joint-address-congress-overwhelming-victory\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CBS poll<\/a> showed that an overwhelming majority of viewers approved of Trump&rsquo;s speech. The president received a 76 percent approval rating overall and similar numbers for his handling of crucial issues.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, Khanna and his fellow Democrats have not had changes of heart. If they had, they would not have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trumps-speech-sends-democrats-spiraling-behind-scenes-chaos-everyone-mad-everyone\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bickered among themselves<\/a> over &ldquo;strategy&rdquo; and &ldquo;optics,&rdquo; as they reportedly did afterward.<\/p>\n<p>The bottom line is that Democrats who understand their own interests have recognized that Tuesday night was an unmitigated disaster for the party. Still, they cannot change, for they have made that deal with the devil.<\/p>\n<p>The &ldquo;deal&rdquo; requires elected Democrats to personify the seething hatred that animates their lunatic base. Democrats cannot, without alienating that base, show decency toward Trump, his supporters, or anything in their general orbit. If they do, they will lose primary elections in deep-blue districts. Democratic voters will choose someone more reliably unhinged.<\/p>\n<p>In sum, if Trump honors a child who survived brain cancer, Democrats cannot applaud because &mdash; Trump. That is the dark logic that flows inexorably from Democrats&rsquo; insane, narcissistic, and, in many cases, demonic worldview.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\"> \t\t\t \t<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey==typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts={ \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs=[ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i=0; i <inputs.length; i++ ) if( !
