Devastating New Polling For Democrats

Legacy media are aligned with the Democratic Party. They would like you to ignore the fact that the Democratic Party has never been less popular than it is now.

A new poll from The Wall Street Journal found that Democrats’ popularity is at its lowest point in three decades. Whatever the media keep telling you about the unpopularity of President Trump, Democrats remain far more unpopular. People may not like certain aspects of what President Trump is doing, but they do trust that Trump is going to be responsive to reality in a way that Democrats simply are not.

Democrats are in serious trouble. And the reason is because they are totally and completely out of touch.

Trump is winning an outsized share of Latinos, blacks, and Asian Americans. Why? Because the Democratic Party, as it took over all of America’s institutions, disconnected itself from normal Americans.

The Democratic Party made a couple of major mistakes. They decided to implement the most radical social values you could possibly imagine. The radical LGBTQ+-¸ wing of the Democratic Party alienated a number of minorities, many of whom are still very much ensconced in church and family. If the price of moving along with the Democrats is that you have to believe boys can become girls, that is a major issue for a huge number of Americans. And yet, Democrats seem preternaturally obsessed with that issue.

Another mistake: The elite members of the Democratic Party remain upper-crust white liberals and fellow travelers like Barack Obama, who made common cause with those upper-crust elite white liberals and felt very safe and comfortable in those particular circles.

There is a tendency among those elites to believe that all minorities feel the same way; there’s a flattening of all minority racial groups into one giant blob: “people of color.”

But that’s not the way anyone thinks of themselves. Nobody thinks of themselves that way. If you ask a white voter, they could be of Polish extraction or Italian extraction or Jewish extraction or German extraction or Irish extraction, among others. Each voter has their own agenda.

There’s been an attempt in America to flatten all of these distinctions out. But those distinctions are very real in terms of how people see themselves in terms of identity.

So when you tell an Asian American that their interests are identical to those of a black American or tell a black American that his interests are identical to those of a Latino American, in some cases, the answer is yes, because we’re all individuals. But in some cases, the answer is very much no.

Optimism and hope for the future come from the Right, not the Left, for whom the racial identity is still the core of their political beliefs.

Appealing to disaffected voters of color on their racial identity alone has rung hollow.

President Trump has pointed the spear at one of the things that Americans hate most, which is this belief that if you say something outside of the purview of the Left, you ought to be canceled.

One of the effects of this has been a massive backlash. President Trump is the symptom and cause of this backlash against political correctness, wokeness, and cancel culture.

Someone being criticized is not cancel culture. Cancellation is when you lose a job or are removed from a platform.

The problem for the Left is that they decreased the so-called Overton Window — the window of acceptable discourse — to be so narrow that virtually everybody ended up being in danger of cancellation. And then President Trump blew the window wide open.

The era of the censorious Left, the upper-crust Harvard liberal who speaks down and patronizes minorities and then shuts the Overton window so nobody can speak differently, is ending.

Democrats don’t know what to do about it. So now they simply rage against the machine.

The Democratic Party is on the ropes — but there is an incipient danger. That danger comes in the form of the splintering that is happening on the Right.

With the destruction of the institutions by the Left, there are no replacements for the institutions. But there are people on the Right who believe the institutions need to be completely torn down.

It is a good thing that people look at institutions hollowed out by the left-wing with radical skepticism, and look to build new institutions or restore those institutions by kicking the Left out of those institutions and actually regaining credibility.

However, if the substitute for this is an atomized society in which you go to TikTok for your information or X.com for information, you’re going to end up with some pretty bad information.

And this is why conspiratorialism has soared on every side of the political aisle. Conspiratorial thinking speculates that there is an unnamed group of people who you can’t put a finger on, but you know they exist behind closed doors. They must be doing something nefarious and terrible, and therefore, you are not in control of your own life, and you then get to be very angry at someone.

That is not good for society or good politically. It is bad for you as a human to engage in that sort of thinking, because it means that you are essentially saying that you are not in control of your own future, you’re not in control of your own life, and there’s no prospect that you will be, because the shadowy forces control everything.

The Right has its work cut out for it; not to become the Left, but to champion the very ideas that distinguish it from the Left: strengthening traditional institutions with traditional principles, relying on facts rather than narratives that spring from conspiratorial thinking, and treating every human being as an individual with their own thoughts and feelings — without lumping them all together as one monolithic group.
