There is an old practice: To fight a common enemy, you sometimes befriend the enemies of your enemy. One of the present day major enemies of working class America is the frightful globalist world that has destroyed the average middle class worker. IF Democrats truly were still the party of the American working class, then they would embrace many of the populist policies of President Donald Trump. They could do that without embracing him as a person, since they dislike him so much. But if they found a way to temporarily befriend him while fighting that common enemy of globalism, then they’d be helping the middle class, which they always claim is their goal.
Trump’s platform is to protect AMERICA and to put American workers first. This used to be the Democratic platform. Many things Trump campaigned on were the same things even “former” Democratic politicians such as Bill and Hillary Clinton themselves said twenty years ago. But alas, the Democrats’ hatred for the President is so emotionally immature and mentally unstable, that they are willing to throw AMERICAN citizens under the bus again to try and bring him down. They should think twice about that considering Mr. Pence is hardly a populist and much more socially conservative than a lot of today’s GOP.
Instead what they should do, is work with his administration on the policies that help the working class, not the global class that they now put first. If they dislike him so much, then they could find a way to defeat him next time around with an old fashioned working class Democratic candidate with a personality they like better.
Will they do that in 2020? No, they probably will not, because their party platform has changed and simply is no longer for the American middle class. Today’s Democratic party is a mere shadow of what it was, even ten years ago. Their credo now is as a globalist party and is to inevitably obliterate the middle class, import large portions of the third world into our country, put the needs and priorities of immigrants both legal and illegal before those of the American citizen. Additionally, their volatile hatred for the President far exceeds their love of their former working middle class base.
They do all of this under the guise of multiculturalism, diversity, fake social justice and excessive political correctness while at the same time pumping up the global elite classes. It’s a toxic and miserable prescription, and yet they are still wondering why they lost the election and the working class vote of the rust belt in 2016? How could they ever possibly be confused about how it happened? It’s as plain as day.
