Re: Current Events...
The margins he won by in new demographics is what is so shocking. He’s within 5 point in NJ. Under 30s he carried 45%. Hispanics he got to 45%. 25% of the black vote. 50% increase with Jews and Arabs. Is this a realignment under the new system? Has the GOP transitioned to the party of the middle class not just in terms of voter turnout, but more importantly, culturally?
These are significant numbers. Is it just a reaction to the extreme left represented by Harris, or a genuine movement to the America first populism of Trump? I’ve said for a while now the Democrats have lacked on leadership and messaging since Obama left. Obama wasn’t the ultra progressive the media and party want to portray him as, and I’m all ears for who best represents the party after today. Harris is done and my guess is we won’t see or hear from her nationally ever again. I’m sure her wealth will increase dramatically as she embraces the corporate speaking circuit. An Oprah like show wouldn’t surprise me either. But we now know who the GOP is. It’s no longer the party of Bush and Romney. I don’t gets a clue how the Democrats regroup and get behind a message.
Do we see the party fragment, or do they stick with the woke hysteria. I’m hearing a lot of the left blame the loss on racism and sexism, rather than a repudiation on Biden and Harris’s policy decisions. I think that’s wrong, but it’d be par for the course.
I hope the GOP doesn’t take this mandate as a mandate for social conservatism. Focus on immigration. Use reconciliation to remove illegals and codify requirements so catch and release doesn’t happen. End birthright citizenship and codify legal residency. Force them to take it to SCOTUS who will rule illegals were never citizens under Wong. Make English the official language. Require ID to vote in federal elections and provide funds to ensure every person gets one. Don’t touch or mention abortion. Use the DoJ to police universities who allow extreme groups to harass and vandalize under free speech and civil rights violations. Deport students on visas guilty of assault and vandalism. End funding to Ukraine ASAP. Broker a deal and a treaty that recognizes occupied territories and guarantees the US nor Russia will put troops within X miles of the border. Broker the movement of Palestinians to other Arab nations with global funding and support. Then work with Democrats to expand Medicare and infrastructure spending. Let’s tackle the pharmaceutical industry and reevaluate what kind of crap is going in our food. But more importantly, quit being a purse for people and nations that think we’re lesser than them. Tariff and tax the fuck out of the EU and force them to pay what the NATO charter requires them to pay. People want to say Trump doesn’t value or adhere to NATO, well there’s a bunch of nations who’ve been flaunting it for decades.
All that shit is popular with the plurality of the country and would demonstrate real change. Instead they’ll probably waste time impeaching ex Biden officials and investigating Afghanistan and 2020.
