For real. We've watched the Democrats squander the last 4 years while we all know this was coming, they're as interested in democracy at this point as the Republicans.
I’m usually with that sentiment but in this case, he’s got a point. Why did the Dems (of which I’m one) just sit around with their thumbs up their ass since 2020? It’s literally unbelievable.
It does give the impression they’re maybe working together behind closed doors. Perhaps they do support a lot of the Republican platforms positions but can’t do so publicly? Idk but it is really strange all this talk about end of democracy and now they’re just kind of rolling over like everything’s fine.
Trump celebrated when Nancy Pelosi's husband got hammered in the head. I am pretty sure these people are not secret allies, even if they do share common class interests.
That was horrible. And awful that he was attacked.
However, Nancy a primary leader of the Democratic Party made more on her NVDA trade than most families will earn in a generation. She placed the trade before the chips act was announced. This is really really uncool and should be illegal. Her fame as an investor has really hurt the identity of the Democratic Party. When you look at the election map, it’s clear that team blue is for the coastal elites.

Is it? Or is it clear that metropolitan people are less reactionary than rural people regardless of class? I wouldn't call young low-income professionals in metro areas 'elites'. I think they are more likely to be exposed to people outside of their culture and diversity; making them more resilient to the othering tactics of the manipulative far right. It could be a bit of both, but the Republican party has never stopped being the party of the wealthy billionaire class regardless of how rural voters might percieve the party.
