Where The Rubber Meets The Democrat Road

There are people who vote Democrat who are otherwise reasonable, simply being misinformed or uninformed. 

It’s time we reach them.

American Thinker 

Perhaps, like me, you have some people in your life you love who vote Democrat.  And perhaps, also like me, you have agreed to disagree on political matters and just to avoid the subject of politics altogether.  If your Democrats are like mine, they’re not loons. They’re just misinformed or uninformed, but they are otherwise reasonable.  This is key:  they are otherwise reasonable.

Well, it’s time to breach that wall and once again talk politics with your reasonable but misguided loved ones.  We’ve got a country to save, and we can do our part by trying to reach our reasonable loved ones.  Charity — and country-saving — begins at home.

Democrats are very good at shifting, dodging, and deflecting, but one thing they (the reasonable ones, anyway) can’t shift, dodge, or deflect is votes on single-issue bills.  The House and Senate Democrats vote the way they vote, and there are enough single-issue bills to establish a pattern that’s impossible to deny. That is to say, once your loved one is presented with this evidence that a vote for Democrats is a vote for X, Y, or Z, they will be forced to rethink, or at the very least, to weakly promise to rethink.  They may not mean it, but you’ll have planted some seeds, and that’s a start, and start with these people we must if we are to save our Republic.

Let’s look at just three issues: deportation of illegal alien felons, late-term abortion, and “gender-affirming care” for minors.  Votes are where the rubber meets the road, so let’s see clearly, with the actual bills and actual vote totals, where Democrats stand on these specific issues.

Deportation

You’d think voting to deport illegal aliens caught drunk driving or engaged in other dangerous felonies (like wife-beating) would be a no-brainer.  Easy-peasy, right?

Not so much.

Democrats have had three chances recently to vote for exactly that, and what did they do?

Well, in June 2025 (H.R. 875), and twice in January 2025 (H.R. 29) and (H.R. 30), dozens upon dozens of House Democrats shrugged and said “Nah, we’re good.” The June bill saw 160 Democrats vote “nay,” and the two in January saw 145 and 159, respectively.  Those are all very healthy majorities of the Democrat conference in the House voting against the deportation of drunk driving illegals (as well as other felonious behavior). 

Do these people never drive?  Do they not love anyone who drives?  Do they honestly think a drunk driver could never crash into them or someone they love? How is it even possible to rationalize these votes?  Unless your survival instinct is completely and utterly broken?  Or you are completely and utterly bought off?

Would you vote this way?  Of course not.  Do you even know anyone who would vote this way?  Their votes on these bills send a very clear message, and we should pay attention to it: our lives are not as important to them as the lives of these felonious illegal aliens, who deserve no representation whatsoever.  That’s what these votes say, loud and clear.  There’s no other way to read them.

Abortion

In October 2017 (H.R. 36), January 2018 (S. 2311), and February 2020 (S. 3275), bills to prohibit abortion after twenty weeks were taken up.  They were all called some version of the “Pain Capable” Act, so-called because at that age of gestation, the unborn child can experience gruesome pain.  The bills were designed to stop this barbaric practice, and even had exceptions to save the life of the mother to placate the Democrats.  (We are one of only a handful of countries on planet earth that still allow this ghastly, inhumane procedure, by the way.)

The most recent vote in the Senate got only three Democrats to vote to stop the practice.  The vote two years before that got only three Democrat senators.  The October 2017 vote in the House also got only three Democrats, out of the entire Democrat House conference.

We can get into the minutiae that some of these votes were procedural votes, not votes on the substance of the bills, but it doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things.  When you are voting “nay” at any stage of any bill to prevent the carnage of late-term abortion, you are a ghoul, a monster, and should be called out as such.  It’s the stuff of nightmares.

I know it’s hard to believe that we have so many humans representing us that would vote this way, but the facts are the facts.  Politicians say an awful lot, but they speak most powerfully through their votes.  A vote is a declaration, a flag planted, and these votes show these Democrats, en masse, simply don’t care about the savage butchery of fully-formed babies.

Pediatric “Gender-Affirming Care”

What is it with Democrats and kids?  It’s not enough to butcher them in utero; they want them butchered as children now.  Democrats have had two chances recently to prevent the chemical castration and mutilation of pre-pubescent and teenage children.  On both occasions, they voted nearly monolithically against stopping this Frankenstein practice.  Both bills came up just last month, in December 2025, via (H.R. 498) “Do No Harm in Medicaid Act,” 215(R) - 201(D), and via (H.R. 3492) “Protect Children’s Innocence Act,” 216(R) - 211(D).

It’s one thing to go through puberty and become a legal adult and decide, on your own, that you want to chop off body parts and spend the rest of your life on hormones, but to have that inflicted upon you as a child, before the age of consent, before you are even fully developed, is a version of what used to be called Munchausen by Proxy.  Nothing healthy or “affirming” about it.

So many of us ask what we can do to help. Well, here you go. I can’t believe my loved ones who vote Democrat, or your loved ones, or any decent person wants illegal alien wife beaters or drunk drivers careening around the country, the horrors of late-term abortion, or the permanent disfigurement and castration of children, but that’s what House and Senate Democrats voted for, and here are the details with dates, the names of the bills, and the vote totals.  Everything is linked and is easily fact-checkable, and you should invite your loved one to do just that. It’s all there in “the Google machine,” as my late father used to call it.

Good luck!
