By most if not all indications, it’s a safe bet that the Democrat Party is going to get its ass handed to it in the 2022 midterm elections. And while 2024 is “light years” away in the world of politics, the general election ain’t looking too good, either. Alex Seitz Wald (NBC News Digital senior reporter for politics) has some words of wisdom.
Seitz-Wald on Thursday offered a blunt assessment of the “challenge” Democrats face — as the nationwide push to lift draconian COVID restrictions and Revert to the normalWe continue to exert pressure on liberals throughout the fruited plateau.
As reported by Fox News, left-“leaning” Seitz-Wald warned that Democrats face a challenge to get their programmed base “back to normal,” following two years of the Democrat Party hyping the everloving crap out of the virus, as Blue states quickly drop COVID restrictions.
Before we continue with Mr. Seitz-Wald, the question begs to be asked: So, after two years of ridiculous hype, ever-moving goalposts, and “the science” being bastardized to total oblivion, why the sudden change of heart among Democrat politicians?
Let’s go to the preeminent satire site in the known universe, The Babylon Bee, for the answer.
Researchers Determine That Science Has Changed Following Careful Examination of Poll Numbers
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Scientists for the Democratic party have announced a surprise change in science, after previous science was determined to be too unpopular to remain science.
“We’ve been poring over the data, specifically the opinions of suburban women in swing states, and it’s become clear that masking children has suddenly become completely ineffective for preventing COVID,” said Democratic pollster scientist Bob McNeill.
“It’s really a shocking turnaround, as just last week masks were super effective and anyone who disagreed was a murderer. Gosh, science is amazing!”
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Bees are NearlyFunny as the Democrat Party.

As I said at the top, NBC’s Seitz-Wald gets it totally wrong, as Donald might say. It was all laid out by him during an MSNBC interview, and it has been transcribed from Fox News.
They are playing where the ball is supposed to go, not where it is right now. They’re kind of trying to get ahead of the inevitable because the trend lines have that a growing number of Americans, including a lot of Democrats, are heading towards if not already at the point of saying ‘You know what? We just have to get back to normal.’
What about the Democrat Party?
And you see this kind of emerging message from some Democrats basically saying, ‘Mission accomplished,’ that, you know, the policies of the Biden White House, the Democratic Congress, Democratic governors, they worked, our sacrifices were worth it, we got vaccinated, it’s now time to enjoy those benefits.
But that message hasn’t really been that loud because, as you pointed out, the base is divided. Many Democrats have not reached that point yet. So I think there is going to be a challenge for a lot of Democratic leaders to get their base comfortable with the idea of going back to normal.”
It’s the science, suckers.
“I mean, for the past two years, so much of the identity of what is meant to be a Democrat, to follow the science, was tied up in masking and following these rules and regulations,” Seitz-Wald said.
And if you didn’t do that, you were you know, a bad person, you were Ron DeSantis, you’re a denier. Now, these Democratic leaders must get the base to accept all this.
Bingo. Not to nitpick, but Seitz-Wald’s own network, along with the other lapdog media usuals — CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, et al. — have carried the Democrat Party’s COVID water from the outset, only to also get caught with the COVID-narrative pants down.
Talk radio show host Dan O’Donnell summed it up perfectly:
It’s an incredible admission. According to an MSNBC reporter, the main problem for Democrat governors who want to end their mask mandates was that liberals see mask-wearing as a part of their identity and may not be able give it up.
They could not be more wrong. Card-carrying LiberalsThat is what I am referring to.
There are two types of COVID Gnome Anthony Fauci and Joe “Winter of Severe Illness and Death” Biden, purposely programmed Democrat voters might very likely have to enter a The 12-Step COVID Reality ProgramIt is time to end the two-years of ridiculous hyped and untrued nonsense.

You gotta Nearly feel the Democrats’ pain. That, or scream “We told you so!” from the rooftops and ridicule the ever-loving hell out of them (my choice). These are the last few weeks.
- Nearly half the state’s mandates for masks were lifted
- California’s indoor mask ban was lifted on Tuesday
- New Mexico removed indoor mask regulations on Thursday
- Beginning Friday (today), Washington no longer requires people to wear masks at “large outdoor events” of 500 or more people, and indoor mask mandates will end on Marcy 21
- Illinois will end its mask mandates starting February 28
And here’s the fun part:
As evidenced by the results of Politico-Morning Consult poll released on Wednesday, as all of the above Democrat-controlled states eliminate or ease their mask mandates, hopelessly-programmed Democrat voters say “it’s too early to rescind mask mandates.” By contrast, only 20 percent of Republicans and 42 percent of independents said it’s too early to dump mask mandates.
Based on science? No.
Based on the fearmongering of Fauci, Biden, & Co. — with the liberal media sock puppets eagerly flying collective wingman for the last two years.
Crow, anyone?
