Progressively Worse

Joe Concha, a Fox News contributor, takes on what he sees as an ideological split between today's Democrats and the positions their party held only a few years ago. In the 1990s, he notes, Democrats backed balanced budgets, smaller government, border security, equal opportunity rather than equal outcomes, deficit reduction, and attention to blue-collar concerns. Concha argues that the party now opposes these same things.

He contends that Democrats today want people to believe they hold the moral high ground and have always held their current views. In his view, nothing captures the party better than John Kerry's remark that he actually voted for the $87 billion before he voted against it.

Progressively Worse traces how the Democratic Party has changed and works through the hot-button issues, from identity politics and socialism to the war in Ukraine. Along the way Concha criticizes the modern left and its allies in the media.
