It claims that their actions-such as supporting open borders, increased crime, opposing free speech and fair elections, and <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >promoting harmful economic policies-<\/a>are intentional and well-planned rather than irrational. The piece portrays the modern Democratic Party not as a typical political party with differing opinions,but as a revolutionary movement that rejects core American values like equality and the rule of law. The author emphasizes that this is a conscious strategy aimed at undermining the country, sometiems through violent means. While acknowledging a few less competent individuals within the party,the article insists that the overall leadership is purposeful and dangerous,striving to weaken the nation for political gain.  <\/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<div class=\"article-body body-md bdr-top-black pt-30\">\n<div class=\"row justify-content-center\">\n<div class=\"col-12\">\n<figure class=\"article-thumbnail mb-30 mb-sm-60\">\n<div class=\"article-thumbnail-caption d-flex align-items-center justify-content-md-end label-xs mt-15\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-camera me-10\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Image Credit<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/shorts\/Fwj3fVe0gvs\" target=\"_blank\">Fox News\/YouTube<\/a>       <\/div>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"article-share text-center article-share-simple\">\n<h5 class=\"label-sm mb-10\">Share<\/h5>\n<ul class=\"article-share-list list-unstyled m-0 p-0\">\n<li class=\"article-share-facebook m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/10\/08\/democrats-arent-insane-or-unhinged-theyre-deliberately-and-methodically-anti-american\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-facebook\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Facebook<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-twitter m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Democrats%20Aren%E2%80%99t%20%E2%80%98Insane%E2%80%99%20Or%20%E2%80%98Unhinged.%E2%80%99%20They%E2%80%99re%20Deliberately%20And%20Methodically%20Anti-American&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/10\/08\/democrats-arent-insane-or-unhinged-theyre-deliberately-and-methodically-anti-american\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-twitter\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Twitter<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-truth-social m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/share?title=Democrats%20Aren%E2%80%99t%20%E2%80%98Insane%E2%80%99%20Or%20%E2%80%98Unhinged.%E2%80%99%20They%E2%80%99re%20Deliberately%20And%20Methodically%20Anti-American&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/10\/08\/democrats-arent-insane-or-unhinged-theyre-deliberately-and-methodically-anti-american\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"currentColor\" style=\"width:36px;height:auto;\" viewbox=\"0 0 92 93\"><path d=\"M69.444 55.716H56.772v10.37h12.672zM64.487 37.795V27.32H38.666v38.664h13.18v-28.19zM21.05 27.321h12.653v10.471H21.051z\" https:><\/path><\/svg>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Truth Social<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-link m-0\">       <button data-clipboard-text=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/10\/08\/democrats-arent-insane-or-unhinged-theyre-deliberately-and-methodically-anti-american\/\" data-tooltip-content=\"Copied!\" class=\"clip tooltip\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-link-variant\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Copy Article Link<\/span>       <\/button>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\">       <a href=\"mailto:?subject=Democrats%20Aren%E2%80%99t%20%E2%80%98Insane%E2%80%99%20Or%20%E2%80%98Unhinged.%E2%80%99%20They%E2%80%99re%20Deliberately%20And%20Methodically%20Anti-American&amp;body=%20https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/10\/08\/democrats-arent-insane-or-unhinged-theyre-deliberately-and-methodically-anti-american\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-email\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article via Email<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\"><span class=\"printfriendly pf-button  pf-alignleft\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/thefederalist.com\/#\" rel=\"nofollow\" onclick=\"window.print();

&ldquo;crazy,&rdquo; or &ldquo;unhinged.&rdquo; They&rsquo;re not, and to do so is to give them an excuse <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Traitors-Democrat-Partys-Collapse-Anti-American\/dp\/B0FR8XCMYC\/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.PCDmPMX86i4dQNWyP1JRfveINMx0lrsKnLmtjp0EJUvGjHj071QN20LucGBJIEps.6Zg5xld97nKaMojjctWcXIGkthfdDoBmEIlNP7DzToU&amp;qid=1759864729&amp;sr=8-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">for their sick behavior<\/a>, the way a proven murderer hopes to get off with a &ldquo;temporary insanity&rdquo; defense.<\/p>\n<p>The temptation is admittedly strong. Democrats do a lot of crazy things, like support and champion every single policy that makes life for the average American poorer, more dangerous, and less meaningful. They&rsquo;re in favor of open borders and rampant crime. They&rsquo;re opposed to free speech and fair elections. Anyone would be forgiven for calling them insane.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2 d-flex justify-content-center\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; \" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-1939671831\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1463670073398-0\" class=\"mb-30\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>They&rsquo;re not. These are their very conscious and very sober positions. There is nothing they say or profess to believe that is misguided or poorly thought out. They mean what they say, and there isn&rsquo;t a flicker of doubt. That it seems &ldquo;crazy&rdquo; or &ldquo;insane&rdquo; speaks to a lack of understanding of what exactly the modern Democrat Party is.<\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s not a different side of the same coin or a political party with well-meaning differences of opinion. It&rsquo;s a revolutionary movement that rejects the American way, which is to say the fundamental view that all men and women are created equal and that the rule of law applies to everyone.<\/p>\n<p>That&rsquo;s not hyperbole or inflammatory language just for the sake of it. It&rsquo;s a matter of public record. Democrat leaders do everything they can get away with for the purpose of relaxing anti-crime measures, squeezing every last cent out of middle-income earners, and wiping out their opposition, even if that means <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/09\/11\/charlie-kirks-assassination-proves-the-left-needs-to-fear-its-own-rules\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">resorting to violence<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>That some people are still calling Democrats &ldquo;crazy&rdquo; means they&rsquo;re not thinking hard enough about what&rsquo;s happening. An insane person can be put away or taken into custody. That&rsquo;s not an option when we&rsquo;re talking about roughly half the country&rsquo;s population (though there are positive signs that the portion is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/08\/20\/us\/politics\/democratic-party-voter-registration-crisis.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">getting smaller<\/a>). They&rsquo;re not crazy, even if it&rsquo;s difficult to take them seriously. But everyone had better start.<\/p>\n<p>Almost everything in our political conversation &mdash;&nbsp;to the extent you can even call it a conversation &mdash; has become a matter of life and death. When Democrats aren&rsquo;t advocating for policies that might get you killed, some of them are simply trying to <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/09\/25\/democrats-are-literally-holding-this-country-hostage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">do it themselves<\/a>. And remember: It&rsquo;s not because they&rsquo;re crazy. It&rsquo;s because you disagree with them.<\/p>\n<p>To question their mental capacity is to suggest there&rsquo;s a random misfortune or irrational element at play. That&rsquo;s not the case. They may lie about their intentions and speak in ways that fail to comport with reality, but that&rsquo;s not the work of a political party that lost its grip. It&rsquo;s the <em>modus operandi<\/em> of an organization willing to say and do anything to achieve its ambitions.<\/p>\n<p>Recall the very distant past of 2024, when you knew that your savings account was shrinking and your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/whats-next-great-awakening-or-great-reset\/\" title=\"What\u2019s Next? Great Awakening or Great Reset?\">social media feeds<\/a> were clogged with shocking crime videos. Democrats, with a helpful assist from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/somebody-tell-susan-glasser-to-sit-back-and-relax-this-time\/\" title=\"Somebody Tell Susan Glasser To Sit Back And Relax This Time\">dying news media<\/a>, swore inflation was a myth and violence had never been more rare. That sounds crazy, but they were 100 percent cognizant of what they were doing. They were lying their way through an election, and if they were successful, they would have continued to make the country poorer and more dangerous.<\/p>\n<p>To be sure, there are some genuinely dumb and perhaps insane people who lead the Democrat Party. Sen. Mazie Hirono and Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett come to mind. But they&rsquo;re the exception. Purposeful, diabolical, and anti-American is the rule.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<div class=\"article-author-description fst-italic\">      Eddie Scarry is the D.C. columnist at The Federalist and author of &#8220;<a href=\"\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0FR8XCMYC\">Traitors: The Democrat Party&rsquo;s Collapse into Anti-American Filth<\/a>.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-author mt-30 mt-sm-60 pt-30 bdr-top-bold-black\">\n<div class=\"row g-0 align-items-center\">\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-6\">\n<div class=\"article-author-profile d-flex align-items-center justify-content-center justify-content-md-start\">\n<div class=\"article-author-details\">\n<div class=\"label-md\">Eddie Scarry<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-author-twitter label-sm d-flex align-items-center mt-10\">             <i class=\"mdi mdi-twitter me-5\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>             <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Visit on Twitter<\/span>            <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/eScarry\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"text-decoration-none\">@eScarry<\/a>           <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-6 d-flex justify-content-center justify-content-md-end mt-15 mt-md-0\">        <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/author\/eddiescarry\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">More Articles<\/a>     <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"article-tags bdr-top-black mt-30 mt-sm-60 pt-15 pt-md-45\">\n<ul class=\"list-unstyled d-flex flex-wrap align-items-center mb-0 mx-n10 p-0\">\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/2024\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">2024<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/anti-american\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">Anti-American<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/anti-americanism\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">anti-Americanism<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/border-crisis\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">border crisis<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/crime\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">Crime<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/democrats\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">Democrats<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/inflation\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">Inflation<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/insanity-defense\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">insanity defense<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/jasmine-crockett\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">jasmine crockett<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/left-wing-violence\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">left-wing violence<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/mazie-hirono\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">Mazie Hirono<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/middle-class\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">Middle Class<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"mt-10 mx-10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/political-violence\/\" class=\"btn btn-black btn-small\">political violence<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Right-wingers must stop dismissing Democrats as &#8220;insane&#8221;
