Our two parties have both changed
- The old Democrats have faded away after being overwhelmed by radicals and socialists
- Moderates who once embraced former President Bill Clinton’s opportunistic “third way” are now either irrelevant or nonexistent
- Bernie Sanders, the performance-art “squad,” the radicals of the Congressional Black Caucus, and Senator Elizabeth Warren form the Democratic Party kingpins
- President Donald Trump recalibrated the Republican Party and helped to turn it into a nationalist-populist movement
- Both parties have also been radically changed by additional issues of class, race, and wealth
Don’t worry about the price of diesel fuel, or whether border communities are swarmed by illegal immigration
- Americans are indifferent to whether it is unsafe to take a late-night subway ride.
- They are not too worried about being mugged or whether they can splurge for a weekend steak.
The net result of these radical shifts is that Republicans began bonding with the neglected working classes and those without college degrees
- they drowned out left-wing racial obsessions with ecumenical class concerns
- In the process, the new Republican Party in 2022 is poised to win 45-50% of Hispanic voters and a near record number of African-American men.
