Maybe, just maybe working class Americans care about things like jobs and crime and national security a lot more than what color their skin is, or what party their demographic is supposed to vote for.

Maybe we’re all Americans.

Identity politics is immoral, divisive, discriminatory and elitist.

Understand that identity politics must be universal if it is to be legitimate; not reserved for certain demographics and off limits for others. It cannot be that fashionable identity politics represent progress and unfashionable identity politics represent racism. Call people racists long enough and they will come to embrace it.

Since President Johnson signed the bills to initiate “The Great Society”, the Democrats(Black and White) have taken the black voting class for granted. Look up Johnson’s quote while signing these bills. It won’t surprise you and will show you what Democrats really believe about Blacks.

Several members of the Congressional Black Caucus, the former head of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Can you imagine the outrage if there were a Congressional White Caucus?
These people are racists while screaming racist at everyone else.

The Democrat Party needs to rid itself of the Black racist, Congressional Black Caucus and it affilation with the the Black racist, NAACP!!! Both organizations are poison for the welfare adn progress of all African-Americans for too many reasons to list here. POTUS, Barack Hussein Obama has done more damage to African-Americans then all the White racists combined!!! Wise up Democrat dummies!!! You had your opportunity...and, you blew it with your hate, riots, cop killing and racism!!! End of story!!!

A better question would be how did Obama win in 2012 with a lackluster recovery and Obamacare a flop.

Why is it that millions of white working-class people who voted for [President] Obama turned their backs on the Democratic Party?”

Bern, it’s because they have had 8 years to understand
what that vote really cost them. A stagnant recovery,
transexual bathrooms, a smothering blanket of new
regulations and enough PC to drown a horse.

Remember, price is a one time thing.
Cost is a long time thing, and they are not the same.

Working class people create the lion’s share of the revenue that everyone depends on. They care more about the economy than some transgender’s hurt feelings because he can’t pee in the ladies’ room.

” Donald Trump’s White House victory, fueled in part by nativist rhetoric”

Stopped right there...

Now defending your own home is being evil - a “nativist”.

The opposite of nativist must be an “open door-ist”, a chump.

As a black male, I ask this question to black people and have yet to get an honest answer:

Can anyone name one good thing Obama has done for black people?

Recently, I follow up with “...the fact that you can’t answer that question is just one of the reasons Hillary lost.”

The current Democrat party has a lot of potential fracture points. Blacks vs Hispanics vs gay’s vs white feminists. The task of the Right will be to find ways to hammer at the fracture lines.

If the Democrat Party rid themselves of people like Elisha Cummings and Maxine Waters, they might have a chance to get off the RAT PLANTATION, but as long as they have people like these two, they will be doomed...

It was THEIR party that started slavery, it was THEIR party that stated abortion, and it’s THEIR party that is the party of STUPID, and it’s THEIR party that is the party that is LOST for the next 30 years...count on it!!!

Donald Trump’s White House victory, fueled in no part by nativist rhetoric

Why does any Democrat message have to be targeted to white working class voters? It doesn't. They're blind.

President-elect Trump's message was targeted to working class voters, period. There was never any need to introduce race into the debate. The working class, the middle class— these groupings include the vast majority of all Americans.

The Democrat party is just flat-out stupid with its identity politics, and by the looks of things, they're going to remain that way for the foreseeable future.

Let them flounder. Meanwhile, the vast majority of the American citizenry, who are concerned with improving their opportunities and quality of life, will leave these divisive race-baiters in the dust.

American "progress" is about giving all citizens an opportunity to leave their children better off than their parents.

If the Democrat party wants to continue trying to create a divided, balkanized America, one that hates and punishes success, let them waste their time.

The vast majority of Americans are already living in a post-racial society, and, furthermore, are throwing off the yoke of the nanny state mentality.

Donald Trump is going to get the People behind him, to the eternal chagrin of the Left. Slowly but surely, their slanderous lies will be exposed as mere instruments of division, and their rhetoric will be increasingly rejected by a populace that simply wants to defend its borders, have decent jobs and opportunity to prosper, enjoy true Liberty, and "form a more perfect union" in general.

The Establishment and Media (but I repeat myself) can remain the petty dividers who so transparently epitomize the vehement hatred— hatred of which they so readily and falsely accuse decent everyday Americans.

These impotent fools had better join the Revolution or get out of the way, because their only other option is being run over...
