I'm not a Democrat. But my disgust with the Trump presidency isn't really about him - he's just a run-of-the-mill jackass. It's about the resurgence of fascism. It's a very persistent meme and it's happening worldwide. If liberals hope to defeat it, they need to do some real soul-searching and figure out why so many people have turned against them.
They know why people turned against them, they just refuse to change. That took place during the 8 years of Ears. They followed him right to the grave; first losing the Congress, lost many Governor seats across the country, and finally the Senate. They didn't change one iota during the entire time.
People are sick of the insults: racist, homophobe, xenophobe and so forth. The Deplorable remark by Hillary put the icing on the cake. Democrats simply refuse to give up power. They don't understand that personal attacks are just disgusting people.
I think it's more subtle than that, and it's been a happening for longer - since the "Reagan Democrats" really. In my view, the anchor holding the Democrats back is their fixation on identity politics (aka corporatism). Equal rights, especially in the civil rights era, was always a strong plank for Democrats. But they betrayed equal rights in favor of social engineering.
I had a flyer on my door tonight from the local Democrats. The values byline read: "Equality, Justice, Opportunity". They need to add Freedom to that list if they want to win back the voter's they've lost.
Democrats don't believe in freedom. Democrats believe in government control.
For years Democrats have gotten away with doing things that made them look good on the outside but only benefited them. Now they are being more obvious about it.
Take the Kavanaugh thing for instance. Everybody knew this guy was as clean as the wind driven snow, and like they did with Romney, tried to turn him into the devil incarnate. About 30 or 40 years ago, they would get away with that crap. But now between Fox, the internet, AM radio, they no longer can tell everybody how to think. Instead, what they are secretly up to is discussed on those outlets and more and more people are becoming wise to their tricks.
People see how desperate they are for power. They turned their party into the anti-white party for long-term control over the government forever, and it's turning off a lot of former Democrat voters.
