In the wake of several close elections and a few Republican upsets, Democratic Party elites are increasingly embracing rhetoric that suggests a growing contempt for the will of the voters and an eagerness to circumvent the democratic process to beat the opposition party.

The redistricting wars have resulted in Republicans gaining a modest advantage in the upcoming race for control of the House, and legal setbacks to Democratic countermeasures have resulted in pivotal political leaders voicing their frustrations in increasingly provocative ways.

"Either MAGA extremists are gonna break the country or we are gonna break them," House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said this month. "We have to beat them electorally and then we have to break their spirit."

Polling data, moreover, appears to suggest that a conscious willingness to circumvent the will of voters, even through cheating, has become a pervasive attitude among a top slice of party elites.

Accusations of cheating and electoral fraud have become commonplace, especially since President Donald Trump spearheaded a campaign questioning the veracity of the 2020 election results. Despite limited evidence to support those specific claims, the idea of cheating itself is, unsurprisingly, broadly unpopular with the public.

A recent Napolitan Institute/RMG Research survey found that a mere 7% of voters would actively support their preferred party cheating to win an election. Despite broad public sentiment against it, however, support for outright cheating in elections rose dramatically among a group of voters that Napolitan identified as the "Elite 1%." Of that group, 73% identified as Democrats, 67% were aged 35-54, 86% were white, and 47% embraced "Sanders-like policies."

Among that block, 35% expressed support for cheating to win elections. But the survey broke it down further to address "politically active elites," 69% of whom said they would support their side cheating to win an election.

"These attitudes reveal an elitist revolt against the nation's founding principles," pollster Scott Rasmussen wrote of the results in a USA Today column. "A growing faction within America's leadership class increasingly believes it is better suited to rule than the public itself."

Rasmussen's analysis appears to validate some longstanding Republican gripes about the "left-wing political elite," which have persisted for decades but grew even more prevalent after then-Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's notorious "basket of deplorables" comment.

Further data suggests an equally significant disconnect between the average voter and the elite voter on basic ideals like individual freedom.

Well there you go.....The dems will cheat with the near-full support of their "leaders".

WOW! What a country. :eusa_wall:

Sounds like Sombrero Hakeem is talking about doing violence to US citizens. Maybe it is time US citizens shoot back?

Said it before. We will reap what they all sow on this one. Predicting you will eventually be one of the loudest whining about it, is sort of not too deep a thought. You tend to have one of the largest megaphones over in the cheap seats of the Populist Bleachers.
 
I'd not put anything past Dime Store Obama in the cheating department. It seems to me he has given the dems their marching orders. 😐
