Marc Lotter didn’t mince words on Finnerty when he pointed out what every thinking American can see: Democrats are emotionally dependent on headline wins to paper over a record of failed policies and collapsing enthusiasm. Lotter, a familiar face now anchoring for Newsmax after joining the network, is right to call out a party that needs a political pick-me-up more than it needs honest soul-searching.
The truth is stark and inconvenient for the left: the Democratic Party’s momentum has frayed, and pundits are finally admitting what conservatives have known for years — voters are tired of woke priorities and soaring costs. Outlets tracking the landscape have documented Democratic struggles to translate national campaign cash into local enthusiasm, which is why their narrative has shifted from governing to gasp-and-grab fundraising.
Off-year elections have always been the canary in the coal mine for national trends, with turnout routinely plunging and outcomes decided by who actually shows up at the polls. That structural reality is why Democrats are pouring resources into clumsy get-out-the-vote efforts in key states — an expensive attempt to manufacture energy where none exists. The math is simple: sleepy elections favor the party with the most motivated base, and right now we’ve got the clear advantage if conservatives do the work.
What Democrats call “momentum” is often just the media’s willingness to hype their defeats as near-misses; conservatives call it accountability. When civic institutions and local judges are on the ballot, as recent contests have shown, the consequences of low turnout are enormous — from court control to the balance of power in statehouses. That’s why conservative organizers and everyday patriots must treat these off-year fights like front-line battles: the future of commonsense governance is at stake.
Marc Lotter and other conservative voices on Newsmax are not merely cheerleaders — they’re sounding the alarm and mobilizing a movement that refuses to let the left rewrite the rules while Americans look the other way. If the left is looking for a Prozac, they’ll get something far different: a red wave of accountable voters who care about pocketbook issues, schoolrooms, and safe streets. It’s time for hardworking Americans to answer that call and prove that values, not hashtags, run this country.
Democrats can keep buying ads and chasing headlines, but grassroots conservatism has always done better with real boots on the ground and real arguments about real problems. Lotter’s jab on Finnerty wasn’t cruel — it was accurate: a party adrift needs therapy, while patriots need resolve. The choice is ours this off-year — to sit and sigh or to stand and vote — and every American who loves liberty should choose action.
