[quote=Anonymous]There’s a segment of the electorate who previously considered themselves stalwart Democrats but who have now decided that enough is enough.

For some, the issue was the perception of reckless immigration policy.

For others, the issue was the perception of extremism in transgender accommodations and other social issues of the day.

But there’s a third group that’s probably lost to the Democratic Party forever.

On the basis of two related issues - America’s role in the world and particularly the Biden Administration’s foreign policy, and the servile posture of the American political class toward Israeli and Jewish American interests (from John Fetterman mocking protesters by waving an Israeli flag from the rooftop of his home, to Bill Clinton marble mouthing “I’ve got news for you, they were there first” days before the election) - a segment of the American electorate decided that punishing a Democratic Party that is viewed as weak and unwilling to hear their voices was well worth the risks associated with a second Trump presidency.

It’s also worth nothing that many of the individuals in that segment are secure, wealthy white men and women who will be largely shielded from the potential risks of this second Trump administration anyway. So there’s minimal, if any, cutting off of one’s nose to spite their faces here. And they understand that the two party system creates the illusion of meaningful choice.

This was about forcing either a hard reset or a place in the dustbin of history.[/quote]
