Democrats Have Become the Party of Wealth

How often during the last year of wokeness have middle- and lower-class Americans listened to multimillionaires of all races and genders lecture them on their various pathologies and oppressions?

During the 1980s cultural war, the Left's mantra was "Race, class and gender." Occasionally we still hear of that trifecta, but the class part has increasingly disappeared.

Middle-class incomes among all races have stagnated, and family net worth has declined.

Increasingly, the Democrats are a bicoastal party of elites from corporate America, Wall Street, Silicon Valley, the media, universities, entertainment and professional sports.

The Democratic Party does not wish to admit it has become the party of wealth.

All too often its stale revolutionary speechifying sounds more like penance arising from guilt than genuine advocacy for middle-class citizens of all races.

In the pre-civil rights past, race was often fused to class, and the two terms were logically used interchangeably to cite oppression and inequality.
