Let’s be honest—the political earthquake we’re witnessing isn’t just your typical DC shuffle. President Trump’s return to the White House has sparked something far more significant, and the tremors are being felt deep within the progressive establishment.

For years, progressive organizations have relied on a steady stream of wealthy donors and grassroots supporters to fuel their agenda.

That well-established ecosystem of political funding helped drive numerous liberal initiatives during the previous administration. But here’s where it gets interesting.

Now, a revealing report shows Democratic donors are abandoning ship in unprecedented numbers. According to reports, major Democratic supporters are pulling back their funding from both the party and progressive causes, citing frustration with the party’s direction. And honestly, who can blame them?

From ‘The Post Millennial’:

According to the New York Times, small donor dollars have slowed down in comparison to Trump’s first term in office, when money was pouring in to oppose him. This time around, things are different. Large backers of Democrats also have paused their donations, becoming frustrated with the Democrats for what they see as a lack of vision with the party…

“For me, it’s going to be giving to people, not party,” said John Morgan, a wealthy Democratic donor and vocal supporter of former President Joe Biden, adding, “The DNC learned nothing from the last election.” He now considers himself an independent.

Well, isn’t that something? When even Biden’s own donors are jumping ship, you know the progressive experiment has failed spectacularly.

The donor exodus isn’t limited to a few disgruntled individuals. Interviews with 50 donors, Democratic operatives, and activists revealed that campaign contributions have slowed to “only a trickle.”

Even Reid Hoffman, LinkedIn’s founder and one of the Democratic Party’s largest donors, has become hesitant to fund political projects.

Progressive Organizations Face Harsh Reality

Remember when these organizations seemed unstoppable? Now they can barely keep the lights on – a fitting metaphor for the progressive agenda itself.

The Human Rights Campaign has laid off 20% of its staff, while the Center for American Progress has cut 8% of its workforce. These organizations, once powerful voices in progressive politics, are now struggling to maintain basic operations.

Perhaps most telling is that some reliable Democratic donors are switching sides entirely, throwing their support behind President Trump.

This shift signals more than just financial trouble – it represents a fundamental rejection of progressive ideology.

Democrats Scramble for Solutions

Democratic leadership appears unable to stem the bleeding. The party’s new chair, Ken Martin, has failed to inspire confidence among major donors.

Meanwhile, progressive lawmakers are left holding rallies outside shuttered buildings while their influence continues to wane.

As one political consultant noted, “No one is giving until they see a plan for how we are going to better navigate this unprecedented situation.”

So far, that plan appears nowhere in sight. And let’s face it – when your own supporters are walking away with their checkbooks, maybe it’s time to reconsider those far-left positions.

Key Takeaways:

• Democratic mega-donors are abandoning the party’s radical agenda, with some even switching support to President Trump.
• Progressive organizations are crumbling under financial pressure, forcing massive staff cuts and program shutdowns.
• The DNC’s refusal to moderate its extreme positions has alienated longtime supporters and traditional liberal donors.
