We lost count of the number of face plants the Democrats performed at last night's State of the Union address by President Trump. Right off the bat, there was Rep. Al Green getting tossed out of the House chamber (again) for being a disruptive boor. It only went downhill from there.
Democrats refusing to stand and cheer for the men's Olympic hockey gold medalists; refusing to stand when Trump honored the mother of Iryna Zarutska; Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib screeching at the President from the gallery for calling out fraud in Minnesota; refusing to even appluad for putting American citizens first; and basically spending the entire night proving one of Trump's main talking points: 'These people are crazy.'
But the cringe began before the speech itself did, with many Democrats refusing to show up and holding 'protest' State of the Union events of their own. As far as counter-programming goes, this was like holding an insurance seminar during the Super Bowl.
The funniest part of all of it is that, during these events (one of which featured a man dressed in a giraffe costume and people dressed as frogs), Democrats still laughingly believe that they are the party of the 'cool' people.
And no one personified that last night more than disgraced, fired MSNBC host Joy Reid. At the 'People's' State of the Union, whatever that was, Reid tried to impersonate Barack Obama by singing some Al Green (not the awful Congressman) as a tribute to Al Green (the awful Congressman).
And whoo, boy! Talk about your all-time rake stomps. Watch:

OOF!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOF!
No one, absolutely no one, is singing along with her. And it just keeps getting worse as she cajoles the small crowd to join her -- and they still don't.
This is Jeb Bush's 'please clap,' times 1,000. This is even worse than Chuck Schumer trying to lead chants and hearing nothing but crickets.
Also, not for nothing, but Reid cannot sing to save her life.

My Gawd we lost all 50 states. What happened?
We knew that no one would watch this counter-SOTU. What we didn't realize is that no one watching would be the Democrats' best possible outcome.
I hope clips from this- thing spread far and wide.

We're doing our best. Because this is such a facepalm, we want as many people as possible to see it.

Right now, readers might be thinking that it could not possibly get any worse than this for Reid and the left.
Ahh, but you don't know today's left.
Because it can. And it did. Watch again:

Ho. Leeeeee. S***!
LOL.

Yes, they were. If, by 'bangers,' you mean unbearable cringe that makes everyone watching want to bang their head into a brick wall. Repeatedly.
This is so painful to watch. https://t.co/wccuUE19FT

HAHAHA.
WTF is with her hair?
— Jaker (@Jaker1_9) February 25, 2026
We're not sure what hairstyle that was on Reid, but at least she finally ditched her Trump wig.

Thank God. At least one person liked it.
Is there any leftist journo or politician (or, perhaps Supreme Court justice) that *doesn’t* secretly desperately want to be a celebrity for something else? https://t.co/k6cydQ8f89
— Town Moron (@townmoron) February 25, 2026
As best as we can tell, John Fetterman is the only one.
All of the others just seem to want TikTok clicks.
And, like many TikTokers, they don't care if those clicks are for a good reason or for the absolute WORST reason possible.
What is wrong with these people https://t.co/orVcrfFOGs

A very good question.
For the answer, we need only return to the now-viral quote from President Trump:
"These people are crazy!"

We could not have said it better, Mr. President.
Four words that should be stapled to Joy Reid and almost every Democrat from here to eternity.
