Democrats love to brag about a win, but their human Ponzi scheme might be nearing a collapse.
They cling to isolated election results like life rafts, using them to convince themselves and others that all is well.
Even as Democrats celebrated a surprise state special election victory in Texas over the weekend, a far less friendly reality surfaced on far-left CNN.
That reality check came from Harry Enten, the network’s chief data analyst, who advised his Democratic viewers against reading too much into that and other recent victories.
Such wins might be comforting but are misleading, as presidential election years are the ones that see the major turnout.
“In politics, we often lose sight of the long term because we’re so focused in on the short term,” Enten said Sunday, while homing in on population trends.

Those trends, he warned, should alarm Democrats and encourage Republicans because Americans are leaving blue states and moving to red ones.
Enten pointed out that the states experiencing the largest population gains since the 2020 Census are Texas, Florida, North Carolina, Georgia, and Arizona – all states that were carried by President Donald Trump in 2024.
