Over a decade ago, conservatives reformed the GOP from the inside out in a way that presaged the rise of Trump. Will liberals find a way to their own uprising?

Summary

Frustrated by Democratic leaders’ failure to counter Donald Trump’s swift policy changes, grassroots liberals are pushing for a Tea Party-style insurgency within their party.

Anger is mounting over leadership’s lack of urgency, ineffective messaging, and perceived disconnect from voters.

Activists and strategists argue Democrats must shift from defending institutions to telling human-centered stories that resonate emotionally.

Some are calling for primary challenges and new leadership to counter Trump’s influence. Reform efforts are already underway, as progressives seek a more aggressive and responsive Democratic Party.

    So does that mean overthrowing the government? Does it mean starting a Civil War to establish a new Union? Would it mean the country splitting off into their own grouped together countries? What would a Second American Revolution look like? Because we have an idea of how you can remake the Democratic party. A second American Revolution in modern day needs an image of what it should look like if it is going to work.

    For what it’s worth, I personally think you either remake the Democratic party, or the country will split.

      The country will split. How it ends nobody knows.

      The democrats have been controlled opposition for decades and are irredeemable. Look at the “opposition” they’re putting up right now. And you think we can remake it?

      They’re a lost cause that frustrates actual leftism. They’re a capitalist imperialist party and after they lost the election their response was to drift further right. They’re done. America is done. Most are just too distracted by trying to stay afloat to see the writing on the wall.
