Reconciliation; is it possible in this case? Was this a breakup or are we talking about a full-fledged divorce? One thing is for certain…democrat voters were enraged this year, because the democrat party has lost touch with its base, as much as it has lost touch with reality. It is a symptom of far-left zealots who have infiltrated the party in large numbers and made the whole of it look as if it has gone mad!
There are many reasons for this animosity. Let’s take a look at several big ones.
Tax Cuts:
This subject may seem mundane in the grand scheme of things, because it just scratches the surface of even greater issues within the voter base, but it is a good place to start. The democrat talking point is pushing the idea that the Trump tax cuts of 2017 only benefited the wealthy. This is not true, as everyone in the working class, middle class, upper class or any other class saw decreases in taxes paid, whether it was coming out of a paycheck or a percentage of capital gains. Taxes were lowered for EVERYONE, yet the democrats, still pushing the class warfare playbook continue with the idea that they only benefited the wealthy. The reality is, all voters saw bigger paychecks and along with it, fatter wallets.
It really boils down to self-interest. However, democrats in DC and the media like to say greed is only a republican trait. Regardless of party, all people are driven by self-interest, or what is best for them and their families. Even the communist Bernie Sanders is driven by it. Is a bigger paycheck a better scenario for the working class? You’re damn straight it is. It certainly is for queen Nancy too…she is worth an estimated $200 million and only makes $180k/year. Is this not greed?
You add this image of ultra-wealthy, democrat politicians telling their voting base not to be greedy like republicans and people start to resent it as much as they see through it. “Yes, you little pee-ons, keep voting for us because we are like you…we are not greedy like those evil republicans.” 3 houses and a $15,000 refrigerator/freezer filled with the best ice cream money can buy made people change their mind really quick about the democrat party.
Wokeness:
Doesn’t it seem the entire democrat political class has moved to woke ideology? From DEI to LGBTQ, the entire democrat party has embraced things in society that have been abnormal for thousands of years.
It has always been common practice, when hiring someone to do so based on knowledge, experience and character. Granted, there have been issues in the past of racism being used in hiring practices, but there are laws against those practices. And isn’t it the DEI industry that is guilty of reverse discrimination by denying whites, or straight men and women jobs in favor of minorities, illegal aliens and even transgenders now? Look at the number of large corporations that have done away with DEI ideology. Microsoft, John Deere, Ford, Harley Davidson, Lowes and many others have backed away from DEI practices with many firing their entire DEI departments. Even far left Starbucks has ended their embrace of DEI. Talk about a wakeup call. But the political class in DC, under direction of the deep state has continued to push DEI on people who are absolutely sick and tired of seeing it and even being negatively subjected to it…including many dems and independents in their voting base.
Now let’s have a look at gender identity. Regardless of what party you belong to, there are many families that do not want boys or men using the same bathroom, locker room or dressing room as their daughters or spouse. The clothing they wear and the makeup they put on, while pursuing their fake gender identity is irrelevant. The fact is, they are still equipped with a penis and XY chromosomes. They are men! The entire woke agenda is attempting to change thousands of years of human nature with this bullshit. It has even gotten so bad that children are being pushed to transition without their parents’ knowledge. And if the parents do find out and attempt to intervene or “PROTECT” their child, liberal judges remove the children from the home and arrest the parents. This has happened on multiple occasions here in the US. A new report from Breitbart details a New York City school that is actively teaching kindergarteners about gender ideology. That report can be seen here.
I realize there are those within their voting base who will always go with the woke flow, but they are a very small percentage of the segment and most of them can be spotted very easily. They usually have blue, red, pink or orange hair and their bodies are pierced and tattooed beyond recognition. This is what is left of the democrat voter base.
Economics and Illegal Immigration:
These two areas are where the democrat voting base was treated like they were a bunch of morons. Every person in this country felt the overwhelming, financial pain of the last four years while at the same time being told by the entire democrat party and the slobbering lapdog media, that Bidenomics is working like a charm and the illegals are asylum seekers. I believe these two issues are what hurt the democrats the most…so much so that if the economy was in decent shape, and the country wasn’t being overrun with illegals, most of their voter base might have ignored all the other garbage that I mentioned above.
The political class of the democrats have lost their grip on reality, and with it, a grip on their voter base. Their platform of “working for the little guy” has changed into helping themselves, the DEI industry or illegal aliens, all at the expense of American taxpayers. Can this relationship be reconciled? Well, several things would have to happen. Trump is going to have to fall flat on his face in his second term. Remember, we have already had four excellent years with Trump, and 4 really shitty years with Biden. Additionally, the democrat party is going to have to lose the radical leftists that are controlling everything and everyone in the beltway, or at the very least, make it so they no longer have power. This means DEI, LGBTQ and gender identity (especially where it involves little children) are going to have to be removed from the democrat playbook. I don’t see this happening any time soon either.
