The Democrat Party abandoned the middle class for elites and identity politics—trading broad appeal for globalism, DEI dogma, and political self-destruction.
The answer was not Trump alone.
Indeed, irony abounds when Democrats resonate with the claims of the vestigial Never Trumpers that the MAGA movement “hijacked” the Republican Party.
In characteristic projectionist fashion, the left is simply falsely attributing to their opposition the very hijacking that hit the Democratic Party.
The Republicans are still the party of conservatism and traditionalism. But in the last decade, it adopted an expansionary middle-class agenda that has led to record party registration, its first popular presidential vote victory since 2004, and control of all three branches of government.
The MAGA emphases also have accomplished what prior “moderate” Republican presidents and presidential candidates had sought but largely failed to achieve: making inroads with minorities and youth and substituting class commonalities for racial chauvinism.
Thus, in 2024, 55 percent of Hispanic men and somewhere around 25 percent of black males voted for Trump—along with a +2 advantage for Trump among young men in general (18-29).
In contrast, Joe Biden left office with below 40 percent popularity in many polls. His replacement, 2024 Democratic nominee Kamala Harris, despite a substantial advantage in funding and overwhelmingly biased, favorable media coverage, lost both the popular and Electoral College vote.
Since the election, a variety of data points show a steady erosion in Democrat Party favorability (24 percent positive polling) and voter registration (for the first time in memory, Republicans are out-registering hemorrhaging Democrats in new voter affiliations).
They are also on the losing end of a 40/60 split among voters on most issues—especially the border, energy, crime, transgenderism, and foreign policy—a truth that even the legacy media cannot disguise.

The craziest of the crazies have taken over the party. I don’t think they realize they are crazy either.

They are angry because none of their assassins lynched President Trump before he was again reelected to the presidency. Those far-left kooks are real America haters. They don’t want to be America great again. Somebody might find out that the Africans didn’t put a man on the moon or create Country and Western music as Joy “Da Yeti” Reid claims.
It all started in the 60’s, when both parties started listening to kids and protests. But it seems to have run its course.
It reached peak insanity and the whole culture is pulling back. And one of the reasons is the internet giving everyone an equal voice.
And sometimes what damns them the most is not what the right and middle argue back. Rather, it is everyone hearing what they are saying. It’s one of those, “give them enough rope to hang themselves” things.
Money and Power then it being taken away ,LOL
The Demonicrats became traitors to the United States of America.
Consequences of the state being your keeper.
“What Made the Democratic Party Go Crazy?”
When they ran out of lies to tell?
The traditional RAT party died a long time ago.
The communists have basically taken it over by using political appropriation by having wrapped themselves with the traditional RAT party label. Doing this, they’ve managed to fool a lot of long-time RAT voters into supporting them.
Trump has essentially ripped their appropriation off, and America is now seeing them for what they really are...and it ain’t pretty.
“Democrat Party”
They are not democratic in name or in process.
Crack. /Hunter Biden impression
Isn’t it in the 1965 communist manifesto? Take control of one or both political parties? The weak-minded democrats follow right along.
Easy. The ease of winning elections thru fraud, taking money from tax payers thru fraud, living a fraudulent life suddenly became more difficult to continue.
Nothing new or poignant in the article.
One word...five letters...GREED.
They are receiving money from those who want a New World Order, where the elites tell the whole world how they will run their lives and we will OBEY. They received the majority of the money from those “elites” and have used that to make themselves rich. Who cares about the peasants?
Removal of social norms.
Obama. Obama hates America, and hates white people. I can’t find it documented, but I recall during Obama’s second run, his team decided that their new coalition didn’t require white working class voters.
Obama did “fundamentally transform” America.
