This broad swath where 40% of the population supports the wokism the democrats have adopted and the uniparty blob uses for power and control is fairly new
Barely related even to Abbie Hoffman era or civil rights excess though the latter made it possible
It’s a result of media and education brainwashing generations and open borders
And the preponderance of homosexuals immediately tooting their own horn
Neocons who always resort to bashing antebellum democrats do so to deflect criticism that the white conservative base which is strong in the south is actually the problem
Them and their ancestors
But we’re working on them
Cowards and liars
Trump doesn’t do this
He supports his southern base which adores him and we appreciate that
So Ben Shapiro and mark levin etc can go pound sand
Democrats have fired me from several jobs. I would only be satisfied if Trimp put together a staff that would cause ALL supervisors to think twice before terminating someone JUST for expressing his/her point of view. Something HAS to happen to those people that is horrible.
Trump re-aligned both major parties into a new coalition of Democrats that do not trust gov’t and anti-war conservatives.
Both are in an alliance against the pro-war Democrats/neocon conservatives and against the pro-corporate Democrats and pro-corporate country club Republicans.
Both are aligned in favor of free speech, secure borders and reducing wasteful federal spending and regulations
What brought these two sides together was free speech and listening to each other, finding that we share more in common than we ever thought.
The far left wants to silence listening to each other while the country club Republicans just want conservatives for fundraising, not governance.
Most voters from both parties support controlled immigration, reasonable spending, less federal intrusion into our lives/businesses, voter ID and peace over war.
Trump & Company offered that. As it appears that Trump is following through on his campaign promises (just like his first term) people who were told Trump is a liar are now coming to support him..
This is a huge change from the last 50 years and will affect the next 50.
:^D Anything here look familiar vis a vis some of my posts? ? ? ?

An interesting take...
...that the Underground Railroad led to "sanctuary cities" run by northerners.
Harboring escaped southern slaves equals harboring illegal aliens?

The marxist tactics of marginalizing and namecalling finally wore thin with voters who are now thinking with their wallets.
thanks! bump for later reading...
Chime in here, and see some of the comments. Love to hear your take on all this. Might even provide some fodder for your blog.
Make America Great Again was only first discovered in 2024? Good morning, Rip. Had a good nap?
Why does the NYT even try to formulate thoughts. They’re no good at it.
This one is worth reading and reading and reading again...talk about a keeper.
For the record we should call them ‘the elites’ - it’s the term freepers have been using for decades.. great post
I wouldn’t equate giving sanctuary to slaves the same as giving it to criminal invaders. Not even close.
“They even lived in the very same areas of the country that are still hotbeds of liberalism today. Places like Boston, Chicago, Washington DC and New York.”
And the confederate south, Democrats, were the same states that are now completely red.
Thanks for the ping
Yup. The dividing lines are still the same. The liberals hold power in the Northeast and the West, while conservatives hold power in the heartland.
Are there degrees of difference in breaking Federal law?
Do we owe allegiance to the government or do we not?
Lincoln did carry Chicago narrowly. He was a native son. Moreover Chicago was a relatively new city, a city of upstarts, not of the Establishment. The Republicans won Massachusetts easily, but Lincoln didn't get a majority in Boston, falling short by a couple of percentage points. The Constitutional Union candidate John Bell did rather well there. In 1860's four-way race, Lincoln barely got a majority in Philadelphia. The Democrats were surprisingly strong there.
Then as now, Democrats were the party of the big city machines and the big city masses. Wealthy Establishment urbanites also favored the Democrats, the status quo party who didn't rock the boat. Republicans were stronger in the rural, small town, and small city North.
Democrats had thrown the country into a fiscal crisis. They weren't opposed to government programs, like railroad subsidies. They wanted to be in control of them. They didn't like the Homestead Act preferring to allow the rich to buy up land in the West, rather than open it up to homesteaders. You have to stretch things to make it look like protective tariffs, subsidies for railroads that both parties favored, and the Homestead Act added up to big government.
