…Today’s Democratic Party also has become the redoubt of a coastal, college-accredited, rich, managerial class which benefits from the global division of labor, open borders, and the refusal of Congress to legislate, leaving decision-making in the hands of technocrats. This elite’s main concerns have become the usage of right pronouns, the insistence that — against all biological evidence — men can menstruate and become impregnated, and the farcical proposition that America is an oppressive society. Oh, and they want to call Hispanics “Latinx,” which Hispanics abhor. The Republican Party, on the other hand, now vies to defend the interests of what the denizens of this Acela Corridor refer to as “Flyover Country” without blushing. That is, working Americans for whom President Biden’s inflation causes deep pain, for whom the division of labor has often meant the subtraction of jobs, and who can’t vote Washington bureaucrats out of office. Among these hard-working working Americans one finds many people named Garcia, Flores, de la Cruz, and Vega, which also happen to be surnames of Cassy, Mayra, Jessica, and Yesli, four spunky candidates running for House seats in the midterms this year. The first three are from Texas, while Yesli Vega is running in a toss-up seat in Virginia. Raul Reyes, member of the USA Today Board of Contributors, huffed and puffed this week that these women are “not the real deal.” Yeah, that happened. The New York Times — after years of heaping praise on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — also haughtily referred to the four Republicans as “Far Right Latinas.” That happened, too. What these papers cannot explain, however, is why polls have for two years now consistently shown a significant migration of voters with Spanish surnames to the Republican side. In a special election in June, Mayra Flores became the first Mexican-born woman to be elected to Congress and the first Republican in 150 years to be sent to the House by Texas’s 34th congressional district… …Democrats like Reyes may dismiss all this, but behind the surface progressives are in a deep funk….

They are so condescending and arrogant that they don’t see how they are turning off people who are middle and working class not living on either coast. The CRT, 1619, trans propaganda, pronouns, and anti religion bias of the democrat party are a major turnoff to heartland Americans of all races and both genders
Denial and a belittling of those lost and their motivations for leaving is all the other side has to offer.
Yes, they somehow thought that they could cobble together an alliance of all the various minority communities with elite bi coastal secular progressive college educated urban gentrified whites and inner suburb white pro choice soccer moms/single women against heartland flyover country religious whites. They didn’t account for Hispanic and other minority communities populations having more in common with working class religious whites than the white elites in the cities. This is why progressives are mocking rural and small town minorities who are turning to the GOP.
It looks like they'll have to find out the hard way at the poles that they don't in fact own all minority groups.
Indeed. They truly are in denial and quick to attack and question the motives of minority community members who do make the switch.
