How Did Democrats Become So Out of Touch With the American People?

Overall, nearly three-quarters of Americans hope that Biden does not seek a second term in office.

Amidst these remarkable challenges confronting the American people, the Biden administration and Democratic Party elites would rather focus on the overarching imperatives of climate change hysteria, abortion up until birth, and a faraway war in Eastern Europe that has become utterly disconnected from the American national interest.

This raises the obvious, but nonetheless crucial, question: How, exactly, did modern Democrats become this out of touch with the American people?

Current Democratic priorities have never been so far removed from the sensibilities of the median American citizen.

Most lower- and middle-income Americans drive cars or trucks as part of their daily commutes; they cannot resort to urban rail, let alone the "Work from home" that has become a post-COVID hallmark of the professional-managerial laptop class.

In a bit of loose-lipped candor, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, testifying this week before the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, let slip his belief that "The more pain" Americans feel at the pump, "The more benefit" there is for electric vehicle owners.

The priorities of the modern Democratic Party are comically out of touch with those of the American people, who simply want safe communities, stable prices, secure borders, and to be left alone by the COVID-era biomedical security state.
