Dems are losing the multiracial working class on basic lifestyle issues
NY Post ^ | July 8, 2021 | Glenn H. Reynolds

The Democrats have a problem: They have run away from their core voters. And they are beginning to notice and worry.

...

Democrat Party has moved hard left, the voters it relies on to attain power haven’t.

Thus, in the 2020 election, former President Donald Trump — despite being called a white supremacist and a Hispanic-hater by all the mainstream media — picked up black and Hispanic votes.

...

Just look at the issues the Democrats are pushing: defunding the police, which hurts mostly poor and working-class neighborhoods; critical race theory, which mostly interests woke white activists (and rich-and-guilty Dem donors) but which actually sends a message of inferiority to minority youths; gender ideology, which plays less well among the more traditional and more religious working-class minorities; environmental policies that produce higher gas prices and lower employment, while pushing food prices up; open borders that drive down wages for downscale workers; and so on.

Donors and activists love this stuff. They live in neighborhoods that are mostly insulated from urban crime and disorder. Their kids will still be privileged, regardless of what theories on race are popular. Transgender issues make them feel hip and cutting-edge. Higher gas and food prices won’t affect them. And illegal immigration makes sure they don’t have to pay too much for a nannies and gardeners.

For a long time, the Democrats were able to have it both ways, pretending solidarity with the working class while promoting policies that undercut it.

...

If the GOP is smart — I know, a big if — it will run on these issues. Give the voters what they want: An idea so crazy, it just might work.

They falsely equate race with Marxism, so this is not surprising. What color is their ideology? What gender, for that matter? What global temperature?

In order to install Marxism/Socialism/Communism (all the same), they MUST HAVE DISSENSION between two or more large groups.

Rich/Poor, Black/White, Black/Asian, Foreign/Natural Born, etc.

The Dems must instigate these conflicts then fan the flames with gasoline in order to have power. the more conflict the better for THEM, not America..........................

"And they are beginning to notice and worry."

I disagree with that. As long as they think they don't need those voters, confident that they could cheat and steal their way in, they don't care.
But it looks their attempts to codify election fraud are in jeopardy, so now they're worried.

Black Lives Matter is a racist gambit to preserve the Africanization and thus control of the City States.

Trump threatened and may have actually won the necessary margin of black votes. Panic ensued and the coarse black mobs were loosed to discourage fleeing the plantation

Exactly. They're manufacturing their voters and it got them the Presidency. If they can manufacture their way into getting rid of the filibuster and packing the court—game, set, and match. Voting will no longer matter.

By the time voters are ready to punish Dems for their unbridled leftist agendas, the media will “save the day” with a flood of manufactured spin.

Multiracial? No, you have to be one or the other so that you can be either a victim or an oppressor. There is no use for neither, or both.

And all the hard lefties will sprint to the center and try to present themselves as virtuous moderates.

Their ideology is RED, their gender is bi-ASS, and their global temperature is STONE COLD EVIL!

Who really shares the values of the white progressive wing of the Dem party? Trendy identity laden junk thought filled with factual significance distortion and conveniently fictitious causal relationships to support their moral outrage false premises that are dissociative of the reality that most Americans contend with every day. Transgender males on women’s sports teams, new pronouns to express “imagined” gender, overweighted historical significance distortions of 1619, white fragility theory, reparations that even most blacks poll strongly against, social worker police forces, CRT, etc. The very visible in the media. the arts, sloganeering activist forces, and universities are filled with these sophomoric unnuanced virtue signaling robots, while the media, competing for moral outrage circulation, creates the false impression. through its repetitious bullhorn. that most in the public think like them. In fact, most, contending with the reality of living, rather than trendy circulation expanding identity niche issues, do not. They are the true invisible multiracial silent majority that quietly resents the ridicule of the loud simple minded posturing minority with the bullhorn.
