It shouldn’t shock us, but here we are again, folks. We can think Democrats can't be this dense, but they always find ways to amaze, don’t they? If you could guess what the top three issues Democratic voters are most concerned with what would you pick? Climate change? The economy? Taxes? Nope. It’s Trump supporters, white supremacy, and systemic racism. I’m not kidding. We’re facing job losses and a stagnant economy that will remain stuck in the mud if this minimum wage hike passes in the COVID relief bill. And Democrats’ top concerns are issues that won’t help a single person in America. It’s selfish. It’s detached. It shows that these people really don’t have a care in the world. It must be nice. Only the financially secure and the privileged can say they’re really, really worried about people with differing political views.

It’s indicative of the Democrats’ changing party base. It’s richer, more educated, coastal, and urban-based. The professional elites have taken over and it shows. Their problems…aren’t really problems. They’re not. White liberal problems and their solutions won’t help America. It’s only meant to stroke their self-centered and shallow interests. This is also a problem for the communities of color who have backed Democrats for decades. Rich white liberals give at disproportionate levels to the party. They’re the ones who fill the coffers. It’ll be their phone calls that are returned. The black community will once again be expected to sit down, shut up, and vote Democratic. You think that’s going to sit well with these voters, having rich whites hijack their agenda, their demands? I think this could get messy. Meanwhile, over the past eight years, the GOP has made gains in voter blocs that represent 71 percent of the vote.

Republicans gained in demographics totaling 71% of the vote, but white college voters shifted more sharply left.— Patrick Ruffini (@PatrickRuffini) February 23, 2021
Kristen Soltis Anderson, a co-founder of Echelon Insights, did a poll gauging the concerns of Democrats and Republicans, which discovered this insane little nugget. She did a thread about the findings. If you were wondering, GOP voters’ top concerns centered on illegal immigration, lack of support for law enforcement, tax policy, and liberal media bias.
Thread on the new @EchelonInsights polling about voter priorities and what Republicans in particular are looking for. Unlike traditional "top issue" questions, here we asked people to rate EACH issue on how much it concerns them. We tested these issues with everyone... pic.twitter.com/sNRIx0J7sz— Kristen Soltis Anderson (@KSoltisAnderson) February 24, 2021
Of the issues we presented to ALL respondents, the economic damage from COVID-19 is the top concern in large part because it is the most bipartisan - three-quarters of GOP and Dems are very/extremely concerned. pic.twitter.com/nhL8loHaw2— Kristen Soltis Anderson (@KSoltisAnderson) February 24, 2021
To the full sample, we did test some items that have big party gaps. But when doing a survey, you want to be mindful of "respondent fatigue" - asking people to rank 30+ issues would be A LOT. So we created a list of issues that are "likely primary issues" for each party....— Kristen Soltis Anderson (@KSoltisAnderson) February 24, 2021
Of the issues we asked ONLY of Republicans, illegal immigration, lack of support for police, taxes and liberal media bias are the top concerns. pic.twitter.com/Xaudn3dDUT— Kristen Soltis Anderson (@KSoltisAnderson) February 24, 2021
Of issues we asked ONLY of Democrats, their biggest concern is Donald Trump's supporters. pic.twitter.com/4MpbmtfB6u— Kristen Soltis Anderson (@KSoltisAnderson) February 24, 2021
Looking at the full range of issues asked of each side, Republicans still say illegal immigration and lack of police support are top concerns, while for Democrats concern about spread of COVID is top of the list, with Donald Trump's supporters" in second. pic.twitter.com/TQgKZgQ6Jy— Kristen Soltis Anderson (@KSoltisAnderson) February 24, 2021
There are two Americas. One is grounded in reality and wants to get this country back on its feet. And the other would rather wallow in a glass case of emotion whining about how Donald Trump has supporters. In other words, cry baby land. Democrats are simply a group of snobby, condescending elitists who don’t really know what’s going on—they just don’t.
From what I am seeing of late from outlets like Steven Crowder’s podcast, the top concern for Democrat voters should be that they are mostly fictitious.
Heard Tom Sullivan give these concerns yesterday compared to ‘conservative’ concerns. Confirmation that these people are truly fidiots. They’ve swallowed the kool-aid by the gallon.
You can’t fix stupid, but you can numb it with a baseball bat...
Democrat voters are the elite Capitol residents from the Hunger Games.
Of course. They believe that the stagnating economy will breed white supremacy, Trump supporters, and angry cops going around shooting blacks. Otherwise, they’re ok with the stagnating economy. How can you help the poor if they’re upwardly mobile?
Confirms that they will be perpetually miserable as well; you can’t fix fictitious problems - and you’d never know when they were fixed...
Isolate and polarize. With elections out of the way, fascism will run rampant. Can they create voters faster than elections can be reformed? We’ll see.
They've automated the black vote with the Dominion voting robots.
Wait'll the blacks find out how much "vote workers" who get replaced by robots get paid.
Oh, wait - they're ALREADY finding out.
Need that 2000 dollar Covid payout, like we promised you'd get in January?
Sorry, we're busy putting peaches on Trump and arresting people who might have looked at Washington District of Slime on a map in January.
Sit down and shut up, big city blacks. Pray we don't change the deal further...
Sadly, one of the common concerns for both right and left is the covid hoax. I believe it was over 70% for both sides. Way too many folks are buying it. Some people realize it too is a control of the populace issue. Individuals can decide for themselves. Businesses face losing permits and licensing for non compliance. Survival rates 99%, vaccine efficacy 95%, long term effects of vaccine? Who knows.
Shows what a thorough job Academia has done in indoctrinating students who grow up to be liberals.
Bookmarked.
I see this on social media discussion sites like Quora and Reddit. Put I would push gun control up higher - certainly into the top four.
Hey now. Don’t forget us ex military racists/white supremacists.
IIRC “gun violence’ was either #4 or #5 on their list. If that were an actual problem, with 500+ million firearms out here, we might have noticed it as an issue. Fidiots. But I repeat myself.
Yep. My SIL is one of them.
College educated people shifted to the party that said that they would pay for their student loans . They should have been smart enough to know that wasn’t going to happen.
I’m waiting for the postman to deliver my $2,000 post osoff/warnok (s)election wins as promised. Crickets...... LOL!
White Non-College, R+13
White College, D+21
I think I see the problem..................................
I’m a Christian white man.
I flatly oppose Democrats at all possible turns, so I twice voted for Trump.
I’m happy to be the sort that outrages so many Leftists.
