More accurately, the Democratic Party ought to be called the \u201cregressives,\u201d given that on virtually every metric that matters to most Americans, the left is dragging our country backward \u2014 not forward.<\/p>\n<p>Under Democratic control of government, our nation has regressed with US energy independence achieved during the prior administration. When Donald Trump was in the Oval Office in 2020, America was a net exporter of petroleum, and imports were the lowest since 1991. This year,<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eia.gov\/todayinenergy\/detail.php?id=51338\"> according to the Energy Information Administration<\/a>, \u201cWe expect net crude oil imports to increase, making the United States a net importer of petroleum in 2022.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Translation: We\u2019ve gone from being the largest exporter of oil under Trump to unnecessarily dependent on Iran and other despotic regimes that use millions of dollars in US blood money to fund terror proxies and other nefarious acts under President Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<p>The regressives, in cahoots with the climate cabal here in the States, nixed the Keystone XL pipeline and hamstrung the US fossil-fuel industry with excessive regulations, bans on new drilling on federal lands and other assaults on the US energy sector to purportedly \u201cprotect\u201d the environment while buying dirty oil from murderous foreign dictators who don\u2019t give a hoot about climate change.<\/p>\n<p>World peace has regressed from relative global stability under Trump, who led the destruction of the Islamic State\u2019s caliphate in Iraq and brokered the historic peace deal between Israel and the Middle East known as the Abraham Accords, to a foreign-policy dumpster fire under the dangerously incompetent current administration. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/UKRAINE-RUSSIA-CONFLICT.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Damaged cars after shelling are seen in Kharkiv, Ukraine.\" class=\"wp-image-21596291\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/UKRAINE-RUSSIA-CONFLICT.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/UKRAINE-RUSSIA-CONFLICT.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/UKRAINE-RUSSIA-CONFLICT.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/UKRAINE-RUSSIA-CONFLICT.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Thousands of Ukrainians have been killed, injured and displaced since Russia invaded in late February.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">EPA\/ANDRZEJ LANGE POLAND OUT<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Russia has waged war against Ukraine in the most consequential European invasion since World War II and is committing genocide and war crimes before our eyes. Now add the massive humanitarian crisis underway as millions of Ukrainians have been forced to flee their homes to places unknown while Vice President Kamala Harris giggled her way through a recent joint press conference with Polish President Andrzej Duda in Warsaw, unable to answer a simple question regarding how many Ukrainian refugees the United States is willing to accept.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>But that\u2019s just the tip of the iceberg. We\u2019re also witnessing an alarming new power alliance emerge between China and Russia on Sleepy Joe\u2019s watch, with Taiwan squarely in China\u2019s sights.<\/p>\n<p>Gas prices that were affordable under Trump\u2019s sensible energy policies have skyrocketed to an average of almost $4.50 per gallon nationwide \u2014 the highest in American history. Inflation is at a 40-year high, and supply-chain bottlenecks are ongoing, hampering the US economy. Want a new car, fridge or microwave? Good luck. You\u2019ll wait weeks, if not months, to get it at inflated prices.<\/p>\n<p>Race relations haven\u2019t progressed either; they\u2019ve regressed.<\/p>\n<p>America was once a predominantly colorblind society. No more. Regressives now insist we view everything through the prism of race. Forget judging others based on the content of one\u2019s character, like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. taught us in 1963 during his soul-stirring \u201cI Have a Dream\u201d speech at our nation\u2019s capital. Thanks to the regressives, we\u2019re now being told to check our white privilege while innocent children are being indoctrinated with critical race theory in our public-school system.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"747\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/GettyImages-1233449643.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"People hold up signs during a rally against &quot;critical race theory&quot; (CRT) being taught in schools at the Loudoun County Government center in Leesburg, Virginia.\" class=\"wp-image-21596300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/GettyImages-1233449643.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/GettyImages-1233449643.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/GettyImages-1233449643.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/GettyImages-1233449643.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Across the country, families have rallied against \u201ccritical race theory\u201d being taught in schools.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AFP via Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>But that\u2019s not all.
