Nine months in, and Trump’s second term has officially birthed, leaving the American left shattered, stunned, and scrambling. In this blistering episode of Bald and Bloviating, Mookie Spitz digs deep into the wreckage of the Democratic Party—not through polls or punditry, but through the raw, lived experiences of four former true believers who now feel betrayed, abandoned, and politically homeless.
Meet Kevin, the Latino science nerd turned Flint water victim whose rage at governmental failure curdled into anti-Democrat fury.
Meet Bonnie, a transgender Latina sex worker who’s been calling out leftist hypocrisy since the Clinton years—and now rails against the very movement meant to support her.
Meet Vera, the Puerto Rican lawyer who clawed her way into the elite only to see merit drowned under the weight of identity tokenism.
And meet Teodor, the Romanian-Venezuelan immigrant who fled authoritarianism only to find himself demanding the arrest of campus protesters in the land of the free.
These are not caricatures. These are the ghosts of Democratic failures—prophets ignored, voters lost, and proof that the rot was there all along. Through their stories, Mookie dismantles the smug illusion of Democratic moral superiority and takes a sledgehammer to the party’s inability to listen, adapt, or win.
Is the American left capable of resurrection, or is the Democalypse complete?
