I only read the intro blurb and not the entire article, as any good FReeper would do. While the SJW’s and race baiters drove whites out of the democrat party, there is an economic element to the division too. Anyone who makes a decent, but not outrageously wealthy living is also abandoning the democrat party. It’s not the party for the makers, it’s the party of the takers. The average middle class voter who sees his earnings confiscated by the government with nothing returned.

Paywall, dang it. But I can guess the spin. The truth is, if you run the train on identity politics somebody has to be the caboose, and sooner or later the caboose gets tired of it. It can either sit there forever or detach, because it certainly isn't ever going to be allowed to sit up with the first class passengers.

They didn't really care when it was only white male working class, but when it became white female working class as it did in '16 they still blamed the voter. Another glance showed it had spread to black male working class and then the respective middle class demographics started to get nibbled away. At this point the MSM started to run stories like this.

But seriously, if the question becomes, as it has, "why don't people we say we hate want to vote for us?" then we've left the realm of politics and entered the one of fantasy. The glue of the Democrat party is hatred - they took that step knowingly and willingly in order to build a coalition of people they didn't hate, and that turned out to be nearly no one.

Anyone who works an honest day’s work should not be a Democrat.

Anyone who is white (even if they don’t work an honest day’s work) should not be a Democrat because the Democrat party is viciously anti-white.

The Democratic Party is literally the party of exterminating the white population. It has its counterparts in Canada and all over Western Europe as well. A large percentage of the population sees the population replacement strategy for what it is now, and are forever lost to these parties.

Like this is a big surprise. Let’s see, consistently insult and slur whites while embracing identity politics but then insist whites don’t have an identity (except for being evil) or that they can’t play.

Hmmm...

That’s well and good but still far to many white rats. Also, probably these 3rd world worthies we are letting in tend to back fill the fleeing whites.

Dems have the 21 year old brick throwing crowd in the palm of their hand. And those who have rejected all sexual norms. And the illegals. And the college professors.

With the latest rebellion by Kanye they might start to lose the urban residents.

The important part of the story comes near the end: yes, the Republican Party is ceding liberal white Republicans to the Democrats in return for conservative white Democrats, but there are far more conservative white Democrats than liberal white Republicans, and more importantly, liberal white Republicans live in places where the Democrats already rule, whereas conservative white Democrats are disproportionately concentrated in swing states.

How it is that the establishment GOP thought it would be easier to court the Latino vote (who have always voted at least 2-1 Democrat) than Midwestern whites I will never understand, but thankfully Trump came along hopefully just in time to save them from their stupidity. The game has now been exposed, and I don’t see the GOP turning its back on this group any time soon.

The dem’s dilemma is that they have to be pretty crazy and out there to attract the fringe elements they depend upon to cobble together a winning voting bloc, but it is just that craziness that is beginning to drive away many of their more traditional supporters, like white labor union members, and those who are fiscally liberal but socially more conservative.

I think their descent into transgender bathrooms, forced pronouns, etc. has done considerable damage to them for not much marginal gain. It’s the same effect that Target experienced when they cratered their business in order to seek favor with a tiny number of fringe weirdos.

I think the primary reason white voters fled the dim party was the liberal takeover of the party.

Most Americans didn't like the shabby treatment of the military and the overall trashing of American values we saw in the late 60s and early 70s.

The pro-murder platform of the dnc has driven more whites away....and should drive more blacks away if they were thinking.

The Evangelical vote has gone heavy for gop-e candidates but I'm not sure we're getting much return for our support.

Roman Catholics finally got smart and supported Trump. Just one of a handful of times the RC vote has gone to the gop presidential nominee.

If the gop-e was smart...and that's very questionable, a massive outreach to those groups should be sufficient to be a coalition of voters to win going forward.

For some reason, the left thought that the election of Trump gave them a green light to openly move to the far left on virtually every issue, from immigration to transgender bathrooms to the rule of law itself. I think/hope that they overplayed their hand, and that middle-of-the-road voters will finally see the nihilistic, anti-American left for what it is.

Maybe because leftists are anti-white and want to replace the population with Third Worlders?

Whites didn't leave the Democratic Party. They were driven out, by the constant shrill browbeating they received just for being white. I know I was. Why stay in a party where they constantly make it clear that they hate you and the only thing you can do for them is die soon and get out of the way?

(Oh but before you go, be sure to write us a check to fund more of this, okay?)

The DNC is bleeding Christians. Believing Christians find themselves pushed out of the party.

And people who become Christians, while initially Democrat, (if a church is growing, you should see DNC bumper stickers in the parking lot)... over time, find that they can no longer remain in the party. It takes a few years, sometimes, for their political identity to shift, but to the degree that they are serious about their faith, their departure is inevitable.

The Democratic Party has elements of anti-white ideology....

White suburban and white rural voters don’t want that.

White urban and hippie people are the only people that Democrats have right now....

No mention of the fact that the Dems went from the party of White Supremacy and used the KKK and other race-bating of blacks to maintain white support, to becoming the party of non-White Supremacy and are now using BLM and other race-bating of whites to maintain non-white support.
