After nearly a decade of being forced to take Trump seriously, Democrats increasingly call BS on the whole charade.

Sure, Donald Trump is a threat to democracy — a would-be dictator on day one who has called for terminating the U.S. Constitution so he can hold onto power even after losing a free and fair election. But while draped in the rhetoric of populism, Trump and his MAGA movement are not actually popular; the man himself has never won more votes than the person he ran against, a majority of Americans twice rejecting him and his off-putting cult of personality. That he was ever president is more or less because a few thousand swing voters in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania thought it would be fun.
President Joe Biden won in 2020 largely by promising to a return to normalcy and baseline competency. In 2024, Democrats are making a similar argument but more forcibly: They’re pointing, laughing and dismissing Trump and his circus as a total freak show to which we can’t return.

Democrats gonna be the party of traditional values i guess.
Yes. The US has always had a disconnect between what they say they believe and what they actually do. So, it's up to progressives to align what the government does to what it professes to believe.
Supporting trans kids and making abortions legal, safe, and accessible both fall in line with "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness". The Founders never said anything against abortion or trans kids. You can't even find anything in the Bible about that! Conservatives just took their bigoted ideas and slapped a "traditional values" label on them.
