Carl Higbie didn’t mince words on his Newsmax program when he declared that Democrats “are nothing like us,” and that their public pronouncements are often performance pieces designed to win votes rather than reflect genuine conviction. He laid out a case familiar to millions of Americans: a party that swaps principle for popularity and optics for outcomes.
Higbie argued forcefully that Democrats routinely manufacture crises and weaponize grievance — even inventing “issues” that inflame the mob because it helps their political machine. He’s pointed to examples where Democratic messaging, in his view, amounts to deliberate psychological operations aimed at shaping public opinion rather than solving real problems.
That assessment rings true to hardworking voters who watch cities crumble under Democratic policies and see endless culture battles shoved into their faces while bread-and-butter issues go unanswered. Even Republican lawmakers who’ve appeared on his show have blasted the left’s emptiness on concrete policy, arguing Democrats offer little beyond anti-Trump fever and performative outrage.
Newsmax and voices like Higbie’s are filling a void the mainstream media refuse to acknowledge: the honest, sometimes uncomfortable truth that a political class has divorced itself from everyday American values. Conservatives don’t shy from calling out hypocrisy, and these segments exist because the corporate press won’t do the job of holding the ruling party accountable.
If patriots want a country that works for their children, they must stop being seduced by slick slogans and vote for people who talk plainly, fight for the rule of law, and put American prosperity first. Higbie’s warning is blunt but necessary: when one side treats politics as theater, the real work of governing gets shoved aside — and ordinary Americans pay the price.
