The “Kamala is for they/them, President Trump is for you” ad was identified as the key winning campaign ad. Not so much because most Americans are opposed to transgender issues (though they are now) but because it highlighted an out-of-touch party obsessed with an issue of interest to 0.0001% of the country while most Americans wanted the party to address the economic pain they were feeling.
The New York Times has a poll highlighting much the same thing.
Many Americans say they do not believe the Democratic Party is focused on the economic issues that matter most to them and is instead placing too much emphasis on social issues that they consider less urgent.
Asked to identify the Democratic Party’s most important priorities, Americans most often listed abortion, L.G.B.T.Q. rights and climate change, according to a poll from The New York Times and Ipsos conducted from Jan. 2 to 10.
The issues that people cited as most important to them personally were the economy and inflation, health care and immigration, the poll found. The kinds of social causes that progressive activists have championed in recent years ranked much lower….
On lesbian, gay and transgender rights, people perceive the Democratic Party’s priorities as particularly misaligned with their own. Just 4 percent of Americans listed L.G.B.T.Q. issues as very important to them personally. But 31 percent said they were a Democratic Party priority.
The same percentage of people cited abortion as a top issue for the party, while 13 percent identified it as one of the top three concerns to them personally.
Even self-identified Democrats were only somewhat more likely than other Americans to mention abortion and L.G.B.T.Q. issues as important to them personally
The essence of a winning strategy is making the enemy fight on the turf most damaging to them.
Getting rid of DEI is a good thing, but making that into the focus of the clashes between Republicans and Democrats becomes vital for defining the Dem opposition to Trump and the GOP as ‘wokeness’.
Having Democrat pols and media swarm to defend transgender issues and illegal aliens yet again makes them seem even more out of touch to independents and even members of their own party.
The Democrats want to talk about economics, they want to talk about the impact of tariffs, but their own activist wing dooms them to talking about men in dresses.
The flip side of this equation though is that unless the economy improves and people’s lives get better, that same side of the stick will whack once more, as it did in 2020, and Democrats will take the House in 2026.
The Trump administration will need to balance anti-wokeness with delivering real economic gains or much of this will be for nothing.
We were told by Hollywood that the Democrats were For the People which proves the Grand Canyon Gap between the Hollywood eletists and the American People
My mother told me the same thing when I was a young boy and I asked her what the difference between Democrats and Republicans was. She told me that “the Democrats are for the regular people and the poor people and the Republicans are for the rich.” I was a kid and she was my mother so I believed her. I didn’t care though, because I was a normal kid and completely uninterested in politics. Even as a teenager, I couldn’t have cared less, which was typical of teens where I grew up. Generally speaking, we saw politicians as lying scumbags, which of course the vast majority of them were and remain so to this day. Teens where I grew up weren’t generally cynical but they were generally skeptical and dismissive of politicians.
Hell, I don’t think I ever voted until I was over thirty years old.
It’s amazing and dismaying how many people believe Hollywood’s and my mother’s utterly false delusions about the Dirtbagocrat party. Reality just doesn’t affect their false beliefs. Some have been indoctrinated/brain washed their entire lives, some are fanatics who believe what they want to believe, some are too stupid to see what’s right in front of them and some are evil and simply agree with the warped agendas of the D-Bags, but none of them are what I consider mentally or emotionally healthy.
Coincidentally, Hawkenah Jeffries and Chucky Schemer on TV RIGHT NOW claiming the Dirtbagocrats want to lower the cost of living for Americans and that the Republicans are blocking them by blocking D-Bag bills. Bills designed to trick Americans into thinking they’re beneficial but are actually contrived to make the economy even worse and aid the moneyed interests they collude with, as always with those scumbags. Shmucky blathered the usual reverse reality lie that RINOs and Republicans are exclusively “of the billionaires, by the billionaires and for the billionaires.” The RINOs are for the billionaires but they’re also for the middle class, although most of their policies screw the middle class. The D-Bags are EXCLUSIVELY for the rich.
Agree generally, but only election integrity and the southern border matter.
Everything else is coffee and donuts.
Because:… The Democrats will win their one-party state as soon as they no longer need any voters.
Anyone who understands data already knows this.
As for the economy: It already sucks. Real Americans are in a recession, and have been since the 2020 gravy trains stopped. Most American counties are in a depression that has been in progress since 1930.
I certainly hope Trump pulls the economy out its dive, but we should plan on what to do when the numbers are merely less negative than they are now.
And what will we do if the stock market corrects to account for the insane P/E?
Plenty of things matter but you’re right that they won’t unless election integrity and border control are achieved.
The fact that 20,000.000 fraudulent votes for Basement Biden in 2020 disappeared in 2024 is a good sign for election integrity, although we have a long way to go and it will never be expunged. The Dirtbagocrats are relentless cheaters. Cheating can be greatly reduced, though, if we can get rid of enough RINOs – who always collude with the D-Bags.
Trump has been having over a thousand violent and criminal illegal aliens a day rounded up and he’s having them deported. The Lilipution leaders who initially opposed him are now asking for the criminal aliens and helping. That’s a good start. He’s only been President for 15 days. And he said today that many foreign countries have offered to jail our deportees. They probably want money to do it but who cares? Our federal government has wasted trillions upon trillions of dollars, so we may as well spend some of our money on something we actually need. And as long as Trump is President and Musk and his crew of whiz kids (some are reportedly as young as 19!) are in charge of the Department Of Government Efficiency (DOGE,) government waste will be severely curtailed. It’s already begun, such as the cancellation of billions intended to promote DEI in countries which hate it even more than America does. And the DOJ just threatened to prosecute anybody who interferes with Musk and his team.
I still worry about America transmogrifying into something unrecognizable and horrible in my lifetime, though.
And border crossings have been reduced tremendously already, thanks to the army bolstering border authorities and a clear mission plan for all of them to stop the invasion instead of facilitate it as under No Border Biden, which includes fake asylum seekers.
That made me realize, people generally don’t notice economic problems until rising prices hit them, etc. Structural flaws (for lack of a better word) like DEI or over-regulation in the economy generally aren’t noticed at first, until the bad effects become visible, like rising prices or job loss, etc.
Yes, and when they’re passed over for a job or promotion in favor of some DEI choice who is far less qualified.
Economic gains are a forgone conclusion with Trump as President.
Shmuckie is spewing the usual reverse reality D-Bag lie that Republicans want tax cuts for billionaires at the expense of the regular people and that old load that they want to “destroy” Medicare, when it’s their out of control spending that threatens to bankrupt Medicare and Social Security. Musk is supposedly evil and wants to cut programs which “benefit” (snort!) Americans, like billions of dollars to promote DEI in countries which hate it – at taxpayer expense. DEI comic books in Peru and other schemes just as brilliant. Derp. Hawkenah and Schemer are able to tell insane lies with straight faces, as always.
Newsmax thankfully cut their insipid press conference short because nobody cares what those obscure assholes have to say. It isn’t going to interrupt a Newsday for a full speech by anybody but President Trump, who’s on TV right now signing Executive Orders which withdraw America from UN schemes to harm America, destabilize the world and help Jihadi terrorists like Hamas, enact sanctions against Iran and many more. The usual great Trump stuff that Dirtbagocrats in the DNC, Congress and the Minitrue Media can’t keep up with.
Nobody can keep up with President Trump’s constant barrage of freedom, peace and prosperity, especially not the D-Bags and their jihadi terrorist allies. He’s reiterating his desire to relocate the subhumans of Gaza, which he described as a “big pile of rubble” and other accurate adjectives. “Unsafe, unsanitary and no place anybody would want to live,” and “filled with gunfire.” Gaza has had “Many civilizations, all buried under the sand.” He described corrupt kickbacks to politicians for payments to Hamas terrorists, the hundreds of billions over-budget train to nowhere, the end of DEI requirements for “intellectually deficient” air traffic controllers, our failed education system and getting rid of the top people responsible, laggard states and cities which fail at education but excel at crime, foreign nations which have offered to imprison our illegal aliens criminals and the standing order to have any country which were to assassinate him or any other top government official “obliterated.”
Eat it, America hating D-Bags. You can’t even keep up with this President, much less best him.
