I agree. Look at leaders in the Trump administration: Men like Trump, Vance and Musk. Venture capitalists, successful business owners, serial enterpreneurs - men who are successful and competent and who know how to get things done to make things better. Men who provided the world with goods and services and got rich because the world voluntarily wanted those goods and services and transacted of their own free will for them.

Now compare that with Democratic leaders. Harris. Newsom. Schumer. AOC. Sanders. The contrast is stark: These are people who couldn't change your oil or run a fast food franchise. There is zero evidence of any kind of real-world competency in this crowd. They are grifters who can talk and tell people what they want to hear, and that's about it. And at some level they know that, the entire Democratic party knows that for all the preponderance of queer studies PhDs and liberal arts degrees they have, they don't have remotely the competence of the plumbers and restaurant owners and farmers and factory workers that make up the base of the GOP. And that's very difficult for them to accept.

Everything you say I agree with. And, I might add, their supporters say the same about how the supporters of the left are supposedly brighter and more educated, while the supporters of the right tend to be the ones who actually know how to get things done.

It's not just Harris vs Trump. It's Harris' voters think they're superior to Trump's voters. IMHO, the people I know personal who vote Dim often seem to know that they're really not superior to others -- they're just good at saying very loudly that they are.
