An NBC News poll released last week reflects one of the most significant political trends of the past 30 years - the realignment of blue-collar workers who've left the party of Planned Parenthood and Drag Queen Story Hour for the party of energy-independence, fair-trade deals and border security.
In 2016, Donald Trump took 95%. What used to be one of the left's most reliable constituencies is now going the way of evangelicals in their flight from a party that's lost both its mind and its soul.
The Democrats have become the party of Alice-in-Wonderland social policy - the party that refuses to criticize Antifa and Black Lives Matter even as they turn our cities into barbecue pits, the party that turns a blind eye to urban riots but sees white supremacy everywhere, the party of defund the police and sanctuary cities, the party of climate-change cultists, the party of "Hell yes, we're going to take your AR-15," the party that tried to take an innocuous reference God out of its 2012 platform, the party of abortion up to the moment of birth, the party of LGBTQ, and now, the party of transgenderism.
Bowman writes: "My father, a retired UAW/Ford worker, was a life-long Democrat" who voted for Trump in 2016 and now says "I don't know the damn Democrat party anymore." Ronald Reagan used to say he didn't leave the Democrats; they left him.
While the GOP is becoming the party of labor, the Democrats are firmly in the hands of coastal elitists.
Remember when the media used to whine about Republicans as the party of the super-rich?
Since Jimmy Carter, blue-collar workers have been worked over by the Democrats.
