Interesting source for this. We've been talking about this issue on FR for about six months now, ever since the actual voting demographics were published. These were pretty unmistakable and can no longer be dismissed by Democrat spinners as an artifact of systemic racism. They're still sneering about the "white male working class" but in fact it's the entire thing, and no amount of airy dismissal is going to bring back the votes.

The author speaks accurately about the "aggrieved and the aggravated," whose zero-sum approach to politics means that they need a scapegoat, and how that devolved onto the working class is a matter that could probably fill several advanced degree theses. Such racist absurdities as White Privilege are managing to keep the blame in place, but the working class was abandoned long before Cornel West and his gang of drooling racists ever got hold of the less intelligent corners of academe. Or even Andrea Dworkin and her crowd of farting feminists. Neither had any use for the working class, white or black, male or female. This has been building for a long time.

And nobody on the Dem side appears to have noticed, for which we can credit 0bama and his spinners. Resentment and anger at the hatred directed at the working class was dismissed, predictably, as bigotry, as it still is. Until that changes, the votes will stay away.

WELL, that certainly won’t be with persons such as THIS bunch of congress critters. Quite the opposite! The majority have been bought and paid for. Not to be redundant, WTP got nothing more than the usual SHAFT.

When will democrats realize it is not about their party; it’s about America and making all of us great again.
