The average activist in the Democrat party hates Donald Trump with a passion. Most of them don't just want to beat him; they want to destroy him along with his Republican party. The mainstream media (which is basically just a branch of the Democrat activists) feel the same way. As a result, these people spend their days reading stories about the latest "horror" from Trump, further news about the terrible "damage" he is doing, and analysis that turns Trump into a criminal, idiot, or lunatic. The result isn't just that the Democrat base hates Trump, but rather that they believe that no sane person could vote for him again, let alone like him and what he is doing for the country. This belief which is the norm for those in the leftwing Democrat bubble is now paying dividends in a major way for the country. Consider the following:
1. All but three Democrats in the Senate, including every Democrat presidential candidate, voted against a bill that required doctors to provide care to infants born alive after a failed abortion. Let's be clear; the Democrats voted against a law which recognized babies already born as people with the right to life so long as the mother wanted that child dead. There's no question that a few years ago, the Democrats would never have voted against that bill. Now, however, they are so sure that Trump cannot win that they are displaying their true colors. These people a rabid pro-abortionists who will not support any measure that they see as limiting abortion in any way even if the result is leaving babies to die or even affirmatively killing them. It's a horrific position.
2. Nearly every Democrat presidential candidate has endorsed the Green New Deal. It's one thing to worry about climate change and to support measures that might fight it. It's completely something different to support an end to all air travel, the banning of meat, milk and cheese from the American diet, the end of private cars that use gasoline, and the banning of coal, oil, natural gas and nuclear fuel as power sources in this country. It's even more surprising to favor granting every American unwilling to work a monthly allowance. And those are just part of the measures in the Green New Deal. The totality would destroy the American economy, and the best part of the whole thing is that even the full Green New Deal would not stop climate change according to the so called "experts" who constantly predict climate disaster. These are bizarre positions for most Americans. There's no way they will ever gain majority support once voters understand the contents of the Green New Deal rather than it just being portrayed as "saving the planet". The Democrat base, however, is so certain that Trump cannot win re-election that they are going all in on this nonsense.
3. Again, nearly every Democrat presidential candidate has endorsed Medicare For All. And the plan being pushed is one that would (1) end all private health insurance in America, (2) end Medicare as we know it, (3) end Medicaid for the poor, (4) limit payments to doctors and hospitals to lower levels than currently paid, and (5) put the entire healthcare system under government control. It would be like a national VA system, and we all know the horrors that system created by forcing vets to wait for months to see a doctor. This is the sort of massive government system that will not be supported by a majority of voters who are happy with their current insurance, but the Democrats are pushing it because they think they cannot lose.
4. The Democrats have actually gotten to the point where they are proposing massive spending plans like Medicare for All and the Green New Deal with not even a hint of a way to pay for them. Oh, all the Democrat presidential candidates are pushing for massive tax increases on the wealthy, but even with those increases, there will still not be enough money to come close to paying for the programs they are pushing. The latest approach from many Democrats is that we will just print money to pay for the bills. Voters, however, will understand rather quickly that printing money will lead to massive inflation and the destruction of what will be left of the American economy. The Dems, however, know in their bones that they can't lose, so they figure they can push for what they really want and Donald Trump will still force the average voter to choose the Democrats.
It's rather strange to watch a mass delusion overtake such a large portion of the population. One would think that after 2016 when these same Democrats "knew" that Hillary Clinton would win only to see her lose, that they would be a bit more open to the opinions of those who aren't Democrat activists, but they're not. The effects of the delusion are already appearing in public opinion. A recent Marist survey found that the percentage of people calling themselves pro-life jumped by about 15 points between January and February after the support being given by the Democrats to infanticide. It seems, however, that the Democrats can't bring themselves to contemplate a possible Trump victory in 2020, so they choose to ignore that outcome.
There's a long, long time until November of 2020. No one knows what will happen between now and then. The President may fall from favor and get trounced in that election. If Trump loses, however, it won't be because the Democrats took popular positions. Trump hatred is working hard to have the Democrats hand him a win in 2020 on a silver platter.
