As grotesque and unpleasant this example may be the Bible adequately describes how a sick dog returns to the residue of its sickness, so the Dems are returning to their own putrid sickness by not learning from their deceased past. The phrase "dog returning to its vomit" is a metaphorical expression from the Bible, specifically found in Proverbs 26:11:  "As a dog returns to its vomit, so fools repeat their folly." (NIV)

This verse illustrates the tendency of people to repeat foolish or harmful behavior despite knowing better. It uses the image of a dog, which might return to its vomit, as a vivid metaphor for unwise or self-destructive patterns.

The phrase is also referenced in the New Testament in 2 Peter 2:22, which reads: "Of them the proverbs are true: 'A dog returns to its vomit,' and 'A sow that is washed returns to her wallowing in the mud.'” (NIV)

Here, Peter uses the proverb to describe those who turn away from the righteousness they have known, reverting back to sinful or corrupt behavior. It highlights the stubborn nature of some in forsaking spiritual growth or moral improvement.

As the Bible warns in Proverbs 26:11 and echoed in 2 Peter 2:22, "like a dog returns to its vomit," so too do some persistently revisit failed ideologies.

This biblical insight rings true today, especially as Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker champions policies that many Americans view as out of step with reality and public sentiment. Pritzker’s vow to "boost radical sex change procedures" in response to Donald Trump’s electoral momentum is not just a political miscalculation—it’s a glaring example of Democrats doubling down on an agenda the majority has rejected.

A Rasmussen survey from October found that 60% of Americans reject progressive policies, and similar polling by the Center Square shows 59% opposition to minors receiving transgender-related treatments.

Even within his deep blue state, the tide appears to be turning. Trump’s support in Illinois has grown significantly, narrowing the margin in traditionally Democratic strongholds like Chicago. These trends suggest that voters are tired of being told to prioritize fringe issues over pressing economic and social concerns.

Democrats’ insistence on doubling down on these issues mirrors their historical inability to learn from their missteps. The erosion of support in Illinois, reflected in Trump’s growing numbers, is a red flag for leaders like Pritzker. Yet instead of recalibrating to align with voters, they persist in pursuing policies that alienate the majority.

Illinois, once a reliably blue stronghold, saw Trump’s support rise to 22.1% in Chicago in 2024, compared to just 12.4% in 2016. While still a Democratic bastion, these numbers signify a shifting landscape. The more leaders like Pritzker ignore these shifts, the more they risk further electoral consequences.

The Bible’s warnings about repeating past mistakes aren’t merely spiritual—they have real-world applications. By clinging to a political strategy that prioritizes divisive cultural battles, Democrats are alienating voters and misjudging the pulse of the nation. As economic pressures mount and public safety concerns grow, many Americans are calling for leaders who will prioritize practical solutions over ideological crusades.

Governor Pritzker's policies are not just a misstep; they are symptomatic of a broader Democratic failure to adapt to a changing political and cultural landscape. For a party that once prided itself on progress, its leadership seems stuck in a cycle of self-defeat, unable—or unwilling—to learn from its errors.

Final Word: The Bible is filled with irrefutable truths, and if mankind were to obey them, the world would be a better place. One of these truths is: Do not act like sick dogs, but instead learn from past mistakes and correct the errors of your ways.
