Michigan Senator Elissa Slotkin has a “war plan” designed to return the Democratic Party to power.
The first-term Senator said in an interview with Politico that the party was considered “weak and woke” and needs to “f***ing retake the flag” with a sense of “goddamn Alpha Energy” in order to appeal to voters’ sense of patriotism.
“It’s a military-style operational plan,” Slotkin said of her plan. “I don’t understand how to rally us into a coherent approach if we aren’t on the same page on where we’re going.”
She continued:
Trump is doing a whole bunch of things that I think are a threat to our economy and a threat to our Democracy and I have a responsibility on behalf of my state to point that out and try to do something about that.
…
We need to have this fight as a nation about whether we should still uphold the Constitution and still believe there are three co-equal branches of government and the president is blatantly ignoring one of those branches right now.
I wouldn’t have picked [the case of Abrego Garcia] myself, because it’s hard with the El Salvador piece. He’s in another country, but the case picked us.
…
I don’t think we need to hide the fact that Trump is flooding the zone and making us look 12 different ways at the same time. But again, because I come from the national security background, there’s no end to fighting unless you’re dead.
Last month, Slotkin slammed the efforts of Senator Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, describing them as “screaming, enraged [and] passionate” in their opposition to Trump.
“I have done as much as I feel like I’m capable of doing to respond in words to what Trump is doing, but I can’t just be an activist,” she explained at the time.
“[Bernie and AOC] have a lot of words, but what have they actually done to change the situation with Donald Trump and the cuts and the attacks on our judiciary and the attacks on our Constitution?”

Slotkin’s influence within the Democratic Party was solidified by their decision to designate her as the person to respond to President Trump’s joint address to Congress back in March.
“President Trump loves to say, peace through strength,” she said during the speech. “That’s actually a line he stole from Ronald Reagan.”
“But let me tell you, after the spectacle that just took place in the Oval Office last week, Reagan must be rolling in his grave.”
