Nine Months After the Election, the New York Times Realizes That Blue Collar Voters Are Sick of Regime Neoliberalism
Someone's gonna rock a Pulitzer for this!Five years ago, Raymond Teachey voted, as usual, for the Democratic presidential nominee. But by last fall, Mr. Teachey, an aircraft mechanic from Bucks County, Pa., was rethinking his political allegiances. To him, the Democratic Party seemed increasingly focused on issues of identity at the expense of more tangible day-to-day concerns, such as public safety or the economy. "Some of them turned their back on their base," Mr. Teachey, 54, said. ... Now, Democrats hope to bring these voters back into the fold for the midterm elections in 2026, betting on a backlash to Mr. Trump and his party's far-reaching moves to slash the social safety net."Slash the social safety net" = "require able-bodied adults to at least pretend to look for work to qualify for Medicaid" + "kick illegal aliens off of social services set up for Americans"
Sounds kind of Racist, White African-American.
But in interviews with nearly 30 predominantly working-class voters who supported Mr. Biden in 2020 before defecting or struggling deeply with their choices last year, many had a stinging message for the Democratic Party. Just because we have misgivings about Mr. Trump, they say, it doesn't mean we like you. "I think I'm done with the Democrats," said Desmond Smith, 24, a deli worker from Smithdale, Miss., and a Black man who said he backed Mr. Biden in 2020 at the height of the racial justice protests. But last year, disillusioned by what he saw as the party's overemphasis on identity politics and concerned about illegal immigration, he voted for Mr. Trump. Asked how Democrats could win him back, he said, "Fight for Americans instead of fighting for everybody else."
What? Meanwhile, New Jersey voters are seeing their electricity bills triple due to the state's "global warming" mitigation laws, which may make the state ripe for a takeover. Remember, Trump lost NJ by less than five points.
An in-depth post-election study from Pew Research Center suggests that about 5 percent of Mr. Biden's voters in 2020 switched to Mr. Trump in 2024, while roughly 15 percent of those voters stayed home last year. Mr. Trump retained more of his 2020 voters than Democrats did, a crucial factor in winning the election.
... "They're doing nothing to move their own numbers because they don't have an economic message," said John Anzalone, a veteran Democratic pollster who worked on that survey. "They think that this is about Trump's numbers getting worse," he added. "They need to worry about their numbers." Here are five takeaways from those conversations. Biden's disastrous re-election bid fueled a trust issue. It hasn't gone away.
Kyle Bielski, 35, an executive chef at a private club, said he had typically voted for Democrats until last year's presidential election, when he backed Mr. Trump. Democratic leaders had insisted that the plainly frail Mr. Biden was vigorous enough to run, and they had encouraged skeptical voters to fall in line. Instantly after he dropped out, they urged Democrats to unite behind the candidacy of Kamala Harris, who was then the vice president. "It almost seemed wrong," continued Mr. Bielski, who lives in Phoenix. "It was kind of like, OK, the same people that were just running the country are now telling us that this is the person that we should vote for." ... Worried about paying the bills, they saw Democrats as too focused on cultural issues. Many in this multiracial group of voters said they thought Democrats had gone too far in promoting transgender rights or in emphasizing matters of racial identity. But often, they were more bothered by their perception that those discussions had come at the expense of addressing economic anxieties. "It seemed like they were more concerned with D.E.I. and L.G.B.T.Q. issues and really just things that didn't pertain to me or concern me at all," said Kendall Wood, 32, a truck driver from Henrico County, Va. He said he voted for Mr. Trump last year after backing Mr. Biden in 2020. "They weren't concerned with, really, kitchen-table issues." ...
They worry about illegal immigration. But some think Trump's crackdowns are going too far. Sarah Smarty, a home health aide and an author from McClure, Pa., said she voted for Mr. Biden in 2020 and Mr. Trump in 2024.Credit...Hannah Yoon for The New York Times These voters often said they agreed with Mr. Trump on the need to stem the flow of illegal immigration and strengthen border security. But some worried about the administration's crackdown, which has resulted in sweeping raids, children being separated from their parents, the deportation of American citizens and a growing sense of fear in immigrant communities.
When my friend Rebecca in Highland Park, NJ, opened her PSE&G gas and electric bill last month, she almost fell out of her seat: It had tripled. It's now costing her more than $1,000 a month to keep her modest home running. "It's been creeping up for months, in spite of the fact that nothing about our house has changed," she told me. "In years past, it was averaging about $300 a month." "I don't know how we're expected to absorb these new bills," she posted on Facebook. Her neighbor Felix Urman wondered the same as he ticked off his household costs for me. "Property taxes are up 6.3%," he said -- on top of what had already been the nation's highest. "Car insurance up 15%. Home insurance up 17%. Health insurance up 19%. "I don't know how non-dermatologists are living in New Jersey," he concluded. That question -- how are we expected to live here? -- is why the solidly blue Garden State is rapidly turning purple. Affordability and taxes, at 54% and 43% respectively, have become the defining issues in New Jersey's tightening governor's race. The latest survey, released this week, showed Democratic Party nominee Mikie Sherrill leading Republican Jack Ciattarelli by just 6 percentage points. Those who ranked affordability as their primary issue were split over which candidate is better equipped to handle it: 36% of them named Sherrill, while 34% chose Ciattarelli. But on taxes, Ciattarelli holds a commanding lead. When asked which candidate would do a better job lowering them, 50% picked the Republican, compared to just 15% who went for the Democrat.California trended twelve points more Republican between 2020 and 2024.
California has historically been a heavily Democratic state, selecting a Democrat in every presidential election since 1992. But recent polls have indicated the tide could be turning on the Democrats in the Golden State. It comes after the state shifted toward the GOP by 12 points in 2024 compared to 2020, with Donald Trump increasing his vote share in nearly every county in the state. The Republicans also flipped three seats in the state Legislature last year. If the Democratic Party loses ground in California, it could reshape the state's leadership as early as 2026, when the next governor will be elected and most of California's state Legislature will be up for election.A pollster -- I think -- named Karen George discussed the "red blooms" growing in California. Working class voters and Hispanics are abandoning the Democrat Cult:

If these percentages are based off Skeevy Joe’s ridiculously fake 2020 vote totals, then the real among of actual voters changing sides is higher. That’s because the 5% percentage would be based off fake inflated voted totals, but anyone who switched sides would be a ‘real’ voter.

"I'm leaving the Democrat Party because I'm currently distracted by economic issues.
Don't get me wrong. I think it's *great* that the Party still hates America, still favors criminals over the law-abiding, favors aliens over citizens, feels the appropriate level of shame over systemic racism, targets toxic masculinity, and promotes transgenderism as a core issue. Those things represent who we all are, of course.
But I'm having trouble paying the bills, so I think I'll switch parties."

Just read about a white 13yr old girl arrested for being an unaccompanied minor in the UK. I am unsure where, but hauled off.Buying a burger offense.
Yet esslambic rapists walk, whip their pants off and expose themselves on subways (the white men who throw him off the train get in trouble).
One would THINK tourism for the UK would be impacted. It used to feel safe in Londonistan. I only saw one black crow burka in York in 2017, who would not meet my infidel eyes. I now know I can't return to the UK due to my thoughts being read and ending with me in the slammer or The Tower of London.
All the weenie PM's who allow this. Who allow their tiny Stamer weenie to support Gaza and Hamas. They all should have rotten fruit thrown at them daily.
I hope we don't see a repeat of this cultural invasion if the Dims manage to elect that turd in NYC. Of all places, they should sort of remember 9/11/01. Do not become MN.

They 'extended' unemployment for how many YEARS? They didn't even bother to check if they were looking for work 'because covid'.
I don't even remember what they called the stupid money they gave them to 'make up' the difference in wages.
When we did partial temporary layoffs at my plant due to the massive volume decrease (did 1 month layoffs of probably half the plant), it was a union plant. They had to actually come down HARD on their members because the senior union members were trying to DEMAND that they be the ones laid off (despite the union contract saying the exact opposite), because they would literally be making MORE money on unemployment from Commiefornia they they would make coming to work 40 hours a week!
It was insane!

And that's some pretty typical snark. But you never said I was wrong. Because I'm not.
And it's not that I'm brilliant - all it takes is will. The will to look at things and accept the hard lessons. Especially the ones where you want to turn your head because what you saw was too awful to gaze upon.
You MUST make yourself look at those. The ones you hate, because they make you second guess your assumptions. That's life. Life, at least for the last decade, is not good. We don't live in the 90s anymore.

CC was the coolest, smartest, and best musician of the band. Sadly, he was not as charismatic or photogenic as Bret. Again, don’t ask me how I know.

Posted by: Smell the Glove
Leftists on Facebook that I see are mostly just reposting entries posted by someone else. Their own "deep thoughts" are an afterthought that distill down to "Eff Trump".
I am discarding them more and more because, to paraphrase Chili Palmer blowing off Bo Catlett's simplistic take on what was needed to rewrite a script in "Get Shorty", "If that's all it takes, why do I need you?"

When we had to close the bar at our VFW post because of covid the bartenders were making a ridiculous amount of money from unemployment. In some cases it was 3-4 times their monthly paychecks. When we got to re-open we had a bartender refuse to come back to work because she claimed she was afraid she would get covid if she had to come back to work. The state approved her to keep getting unemployment for almost 7 months after she refused to come back to work.

I have a data-free theory that the last set of independent-minded, semi-intelligent, patriotic Democrats got voted out after Obamacare (2014 midterms).
Every Democrat who has attained office since then --Congressmen, Senators, Governors, Secretaries of State, Judges, and AGs -- are midwit foot soldiers who do what they're told by the Obama machine.
They literally don't know how to change because that would require thinking for themselves.

Rep. Anna Paulina told Joe Rogan that the U.S. government has confirmed the existence of interdimensional beings capable of moving through our time and space, wielding energy technology far beyond human comprehension.
She says she’s personally seen evidence proving “spaceships” are real—and believes they weren’t made by humans.
According to her, some of these encounters date back to before the time of Jesus Christ, and the government has reverse-engineered parts of their technology.
(This is very interesting and a subject --Interdimensional beings -- I know quite a bit about. Back in the 1980s, Dr. Greg Little wrote a slew of books on sentient plasmas. In the past few years, the brilliant Dr. Joseph P. Farrell came out with The Demon In The Ekur: Angels, Demons, Plasmas, Patristics And Pyramids which is a much read.
To better understand interdimensional beings, think Angels, Demons, the Djinn, Leprechauns, Fairies and Elvin, with a side order of the Nagas, reptoid beings who inhabit a plane of existence, at a lower frequency than our own.)

More than 20 clinics have changed course in response to a political shift, and gender-related treatments for minors face increasing legal challenges.
...
These types of clinics were nonexistent in the United States until one opened in Boston in 2007. After that, dozens more sprang up. But at least 20 medical facilities will no longer be providing some of these services, according to a July 25 White House statement.

She was cute when she first went big-time. Then she went all bony and just too skinny. About the same time she was into Kaballa or whatever that cult was.

Because hillary has the dirt on obama. That was the "topic" of the conversation that bill clinton had with loretta lynch on the secret tarmac meeting in 2016. bill clinton basically threatened obama through lynch that if he did not stop all investigations into hillary they would release the dirt on him.

Turrentine is very good. I say that because you never see a Dem on the Sunday shows criticize their own; they signed the oath of Omerta. Dan at least calls them out on stupid stuff, like getting on the 20 side of an 80/20 issue. He thinks the Dems are crazy to oppose Trump on the DC issue.

Here's an ugly truth. Do you remember the talking-point from about a decade ago, about how the Blue States paid for everything and all the rural areas just sucked off their largess ?
That was a typical opposite-world lie. All of us that don't live in California, New York, New Jersey, Mass, Conn, Delaware, NH and Vermont pay for the fucks that do. Via the SALT deduction.
We pay extra into the Fed so that they can build their little Socialist Experiments while scolding us for not being more like them.

A Louisville father is demanding answers after a repeat offender, who had been released early from a 14-year prison sentence under "shock probation," allegedly broke into his home, kidnapped his wife and two sons at knifepoint, and forced them to help rob a local bank.
Armond Langford reportedly entered Strong's home and forced his wife and two of his three children to drive him to a nearby PNC Bank.
Langford fled the scene after robbing the bank, sending police on an hours-long manhunt before he was apprehended. Strong's wife was transported to the hospital and treated for stab wounds.

Occasionally, a Democrat will luck into a good economy and pretend his policies led to it. Bill Clinton is a prime example. He 'balanced' the budget on top of the 'peace' dividend (Credit Ronald Reagan) and the dot.com bubble (Credit Collective Public Brain Damage). He got out of office before it all turned to shit.

The Clinton's paid 1.5 million for their first house in NY in 2001
The Clinton's paid 4.5 million for their 2nd house in DC
Their net worth is now about 250 million, their speaking fees are 250-500k for speech and meet and greet.
They own no planes or yachts they certainly do not seem to spend a lot of money or live in decadent lifestyle.
They, like Buffet have pledged to donate 90% of their estate to charity foundations, the Clinton's will not burden their child with an oppressive inheritance.
