(Congressional Agenda) – Following the massive defeat at the hands of President-elect Donald Trump, the Democratic Party is seemingly devouring itself from the inside out and they have no one to blame for it but themselves. In fact, the very monster that is threatening to destroy their party is one they created with their own hands in a proverbial case of Frankenstein. What is the beast that’s threatening to consume Democrats? Identity politics. Crying racist like the little boy who cried wolf.
For years, we’ve watched radical leftists constantly toss out the race card, creating divisions based on color where none previously existed, setting back relations between folks with varying levels of melanin by decades. And now, the creature they unleashed on the world has turned on its master as Democrats bring racial grievances against leaders in their own ranks.
A report published by The New York Times conducted a sort of autopsy on Vice President Kamala Harris’ failed presidential campaign and contained a survey that found some of her Black staff members “complained of outright racial discrimination.” A big chunk of those staffers said they “felt that their ideas were ignored at a rate far higher than their peers.”
There’s no possible way that these ideas were ignored because they were just plain terrible. No, it definitely had to be something else, right? I have little doubt they had some killer plans and strategies that would have opened the door for Kamala to sweep Trump in the election. That’s sarcasm. You see, we live in a period of history when people are super arrogant and honestly believe they are worthy of being listened to. It does not compute that some individuals are just not that good at what they do for a living. It’s all that participation trophy nonsense during childhood. We are now reaping what we have sown as a culture.
Michael Schwarz of The Western Journal brought up a most excellent point, noting that a recently published study has suggested that when you train folks to see racism under every rock, well, they’ll see racism under every rock, even if it isn’t actually there.
“On the other hand, can we rule out the possibility that Democratic Party higher-ups actually — ironically — harbor racial biases? The context of the Times story suggests, at minimum, that the Black staffers’ complaints had some merit. For instance, in the days preceding the election, groups of staffers — led mostly by Black organizers — in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, went ‘rogue.’ The Times called these efforts ‘extraordinary acts of insubordination against the Harris campaign,'” Schwarz wrote.
“Relegated to making phone calls that they perceived as pointless or even counterproductive, those staffers took it upon themselves to secretly organize a last-minute, door-knocking campaign in an attempt to bring out Black and Latino voters who had historically voted Democrat,” the report continued. Sounds a whole lot like an entitlement mentality, doesn’t it?
“Meanwhile, the vice president focused primarily on attracting voters who shared Democrat elites’ hatred of President-elect Donald Trump. After all, why else would she have campaigned with former Republican congresswoman and Trump nemesis Liz Cheney?” Schwarz asked.
He then noted that this means the Harris campaign did engage in racism, but not in the manner Black staffers think. It was by taking Black and Latino voters for granted. Officials within the campaign acted arrogantly, believing they already owned those votes, which is an obvious expression of racist elitism. In other words, they assumed if you belong to either of those minorities you’d just vote Democrat because that’s what you’re supposed to do.
Trump took home a huge victory because the message he built his campaign around was one that is for every American, regardless of race or other identity-based groups. If the left ever wants to win an election again, they should probably move back to the center and take a cue from the president-elect.
