Did you feel the joy on Tuesday night? Ruy Teixeira sure didn’t. He held his nose and voted for Kamala Harris, but he found her “distinctive policy ideas, to the extent she had them, questionable. I was definitely not a big enthusiast, but I voted for her anyway.” His “historical loyalty” to the Democratic Party meant that he couldn’t bring himself to vote for Donald Trump. “A lot of the obvious things that bother people about Trump bothered me too,” he says. Mr. Trump is “a bit too chaotic and unpredictable, and it seemed risky to me.” Mr. Teixeira didn’t buy into “all this baloney about how he’s going to institute fascism, but Trump did make me kind of nervous.”......
the party “really did piss people off on immigration and crime. They became identified with boutique ideas around race and gender that never really sold well among ordinary working-class voters.”
Consider what he calls the “trans question.” Hardly anyone noticed that in 2020 Joe Biden tweeted that “transgender equality is the civil rights issue of our time.” But a Trump campaign ad reminded voters that in 2019 Ms. Harris answered in the affirmative when asked in a questionnaire if she backed taxpayer-funded sex-change operations for prison inmates. “Kamala’s for they/them. I’m for you,” the ad said. Mr. Teixeira calls the ad “highly effective.”
While there may not be “a lot of trans one-issue voters out there,” Mr. Teixeira says, the subject “symbolizes the out-of-touchness that we’re talking about, the sort of cultural boutique outlook that people think is just weird.” Imagining himself as one of those normies, Mr. Teixeira adds that the “idea that you want me, an ordinary voter, to believe there’s no friggin’ difference between a biological man and a biological woman just doesn’t play.”

He's not SCOTUS material, is he.
AOC and Jen Psaki are not going to like this.
They believe that the only reason PDJT won is because of the massive “right wing media” pumping hate and misinformation into the brains of the “uneducated working class” 24/7.
They believe this even though the entirety of the MSM was completely in the pocket of the Democrat party this election, and had been so for at least 50 years, if not more.
Not to mention Hollywood, Broadway, the entire education system from kindergarten through graduate school, all the big philanthropic organizations, all the NGOs, Google, Facebook, Instagram, Tik Toc, YouTube, etc., etc.
At least Dole was a legitimate war hero.
They will never be cured of thier stupidity because they are arrogant self centered mentally ill snobs who feel they are better then you and they know everything
He seems to sum it up pretty well, without all the wailing and gnashing of teeth.
I disagree that there is no emerging conservative bloc. If Trump does turn the economy around, and follow up on the immigration plans, including moving hard against sanctuary type of dumblecrats [like the new LA police chief], I think folks will respond.
Dole would have been a great president but Clinton butt boy perot came out of hiding to siphon enough votes from him to give us 4 more years of degradation.
The sexual weirdo community voted for Harris in the high eighty percent range. I'm guessing WOKE hater control freaks were in the upper ninety percent range.
It wasn't just 'working class' people who went Trump or stayed home - it was also middle class Americans.
Democrats are going to have to find new ways to lie to their base because in their limited evil little minds the whole game is to learn the words and phrases that will trick the yokles... For example 'gender affirming care' is the bulllsh*t trick phrase for 'sexual mutilation of children'. All classes are discovering HOW democrats lie with words. Orwell's 'newspeak' crap/redirection ruled the MSM for the last decade and the MSM has died.( And no, it's NOT because of 'podcasts' it's because of trust or lack of same.)
“in 2019 Ms. Harris answered in the affirmative when asked in a questionnaire if she backed taxpayer-funded sex-change operations for prison inmates. “Kamala’s for they/them. I’m for you,” the ad said. Mr. Teixeira calls the ad “highly effective.”
Agreed.
That is called Republicans fighting like street fighters.
When we do it we win.
When we don’t do it we lose.
The transgender issue can be used to crush the Democratic Party. It is their Achilles heel and there is nothing they can do about it.
The Trump ad was an outstanding example of how it is done.
I was voting for Palin, not McCain.
I guy I work with (born in the USA to Haitian parents) is a democrat who voted for Trump. He was saying the same thing about how affective the ad was and felt that the entire transsexual movement was going to destroy the democrat party. His comments:
1) Few sane people want to expose children to drag shows.
2) Few sane people want to pay sex-change operations for prison inmates or for illegal aliens.
3) Few sane people want transgender women (those born male) to compete in women’s sports.
4) Few sane people want to encourage children to transition before they become adults.
He felt that the entire trans agenda is a losing cause for ANY political party. It is equivalent to supporting pedophiles and the destruction of society. Because of this one big factor, he KNEW Harris would lose the election.
