...........Yes, everything is different, now, for elite Democrats.
As we have seen, they are inspired by the EU. And as we have also seen, they no longer worry about worker's wages-and that only makes sense, because the two big magnetic poles of the new Democratic coalition, Al Sharpton and George Soros, are both oblivious to wages. Why? Because Sharpton's core constituents aren't in the workforce; they make their living through welfare, not work. And as for Soros and his fellow billionaires, they couldn't be bothered to think about anything as microscopic as a mere wage. Meanwhile, Democratic politicos believe that if they just get the immigrant ranks big enough, they can get the Democratic vote big enough.
In addition, top Democrats are constantly being egged on in their liberalism by the trendoids of the MSM. NBC's Seth Meyers, for example, laughed in Sarah Palin's face when she expressed concerns about Syrian refugees. And that mocking moment led to a media cascade of condescension and ridicule: Yahoo News headlined, "Seth Meyers explains Syrian refugee vetting process to Sarah Palin," and Salon chortled, "Wow, Seth Meyers just stripped down Donald Trump's lies and Islamophobia so clearly even your racist uncle will get it now."
Meanwhile, New York magazine's Jonathan Chait, not be outdone, referred to Donald Trump's anti-immigration supporters as "knuckle-draggers," adding that Trump himself was the natural leader of "lizard-brain America." Got that? That's you Chait is talking about.
In this sort of supercharged media environment, it's easy to see how Democratic pols, who might normally be more careful, have lost their heads. Instead of showing the usual mumble-mouthed caution, top Dems are joining in the bashing of Middle America-aka, the very swing voters they will need if they are to win the White House and Congress next year........

Funny situation. If Chait were to have a stroke, he couldn’t write such drivel
“Meanwhile, if the white majority is mobilized, it is, well, a majority.”
Nice posting...seems like this author has been reading my “About” page (along with Trump). You’re back on our good side with this (LOL).
I just wonder which party will disappear first.The Republicrat Party or the Deomo-Socialist party.
I hope they both fail.
The knuckle-dragging, lizard-brained, drug dazed Democrat Party can’t disappear fast enough.
1. Breitbart is the biggest click-bait site in the universe.
2. The article is long because it rambles and has a hard time getting to a point.
3. The article is laughable, e.g.: “Republicans are rejecting the once-reigning open-borders Davos orthodoxy.” - This is complete and utter horsehockey. Cruz and Trump - but “Republicans,” which includes Rove and Jeb and Rubio and McConnell and Boehner all of whom are trying to claim Trump and Cruz are not Republicans.
The Demonicrat Party should not disappear.
Members of the Demonicrat Party should be tried, convicted, sentenced, hanged for genocidal murder, crimes against humanity and giving aid and comfort to the enemy, and their bodies left to rot off the noose.
For better or worse, the wage thing is no longer true. Democrats have been aggressively moving the minimum wage higher everywhere they’re in control. It’s a very selective benefit — you have to live there, and you have to be low skill enough to need that kind of job and reliable enough to keep it when marginal minimum wage businesses start to close or substitute technology — but it is a benefit nonetheless.
I’d rather have a lizard brain than that of a Progressive scu8bag whose brain is programmed to run in circles, exempt from any thinking, whatsoever.
IMHO
Automation will avoid the hourly wage issue.
If taxes go up too much people will create goods and services exchanges to avoid them.
It will take time, but it will work out for the bright and the hard working.
Let's be very clear: the deficit did not baloon until the last two years of Bush's presidency, when Democrats had taken over congress. Before that, the deficit grew at a much lower rate. We can't forget that the 9-11 disaster cost a lot to deal with--I think that without that event, the growth in deficit would have been much smaller or maybe even negative.
gee you’re right. i looked at debt compared to GDP for the past five presidents. Bush was second, obama WAY last and Clinton first.
Reagan and Bush I were third and fourth. hmm.
Virgil possibly misses an alternate reason for the Democrats desire for a new wave of beholden, indigent immigrants- Dems are not reproducing in sufficient quantities to replicate themselves and are destined to be overtaken otherwise.
To those who are astonished by how “disrespectful” Donald Trump is I say Trump is just returning the favor to the liberals. They have never shown any respect to anyone who disagrees with them.
When you look at deficits and debt growth, you have to look at who controls Congress, not who is president. Reagan had a Democrat Congress. For every dollar of increased revenue that Reagan gained through economic growth, the Democrat congress spent at least $1.50.
Beware of the MSM; they will always report in such a way as to make it look like Republican presidents cause irresponsible spending, while Democrat presidents are the epitome of fiscal responsibility. They get away with it because so few people understand that Congress, not the president, controls the purse strings.
Great point.
So Reagan knew tax cuts AND spending cuts were needed. but he couldn’t get the second part from congress.
thanks.
You’re welcome.
