Instead, they spend their time, day in and day out, constantly saying you or your family members, neighbors, co-workers, employees, or employer who voted for Donald Trump once or twice is an ultra-, mega-, extremist-MAGA insurrectionist fascist out to strip your rights and votes away.
And they wonder why people have turned on them!
The final image of this election happened last week when someone snapped an iPhone photo of Michael McGuire, who just got off of work at the local coal mine and rushed to Rupp Arena at the University of Kentucky so he could watch an event with his son.
image0.jpeg Old Jackson County Courthouse in Independence, Missouri. (Salena Zito) McGuire was covered in dirt from work. He said afterward he hadn’t had time to shower after his shift. It was a moment that moved Kentucky men's basketball coach John Calipari to say in a press conference after he was sent the photo that it hit him “right between the eyes.”
Calipari said, "My family's American dream started in a Clarksburg, West Virginia, coal mine, so this picture hits home.”
It was a moment that hit home for a lot of voters — middle-of-the-road folks — who may have never worked with their hands a day in their lives but know their parents and grandparents did and respect what that work ethic did for the betterment of their family’s legacy. In that photo, they see themselves or who they’d think they’d be had they been in that same situation as McGuire, and they would have done it with as much pride as he did.
Not just the Democrats, but the entire culture is broken. We’ve shoved faith in God out of our government, schools, homes and churches, and America is on ‘life support’.
But it does not have to be: we must repent and call out to Him in sincerity, or much worse will come...
Nice essay Salena, except right at the end you might have noted that the Commucrat party has no intention of trying to appeal to actual grassroots America.
They’ve become an evil, metastasizing cancer in our national soul.
Their political ideology and issues are losers by default
It’s been that way for decades
That’s how they lost their way
By definition. Cheating, lying and conning the weak and ignorant (POC, Immigrants, illegals, youth) is how they try to overcome their DOA policies
Fetterman concession speech. “Goodnight, everyone. My doctors say basement not good for my condition. Have to be in warm dry place. Mama building me a sauna in the attic. Gisele leaving me to live with Oz. I support fracking on Wednesdays. Mongo like candy. Hello, everyone”
Progressives never had a way.
Everything progressive is derivative of reality in the UK and Europe. Progressive American thought is recycled UK thought of five or ten years ago
They “lost their way” the moment they removed God from their party plank.
Lost their way? What way were they pursuing to begin with?
Back in 1887, Woodrow Wilson declared socialism and democracy to be “one and the same”. Forty years earlier, Friedrich Engels said that the primary goal of the communist revolution was to “establish a democratic constitution”. Clearly, when self-professed democrats say “democracy”, they always mean “socialism”.
