The only progressive voting fief you overlooked is Jewish Americans: the Party that Jews used to support wholeheartedly for, among other things, anti-discrimination and support for Israel, now is nurturing as its ascendant young leadership university students chanting “globalize the intifada.” Clearly antisemitic attacks and verbal abuse against Jewish individuals and institutions are being done under the pretense of anti-Zionism. And the wretched university administrators show complete indifference to the on campus harassment of Jewish students and faculty.

At the All Star Game, we had the fake reporter try to ask managers and players what they thought of Georgia's "racist" voter ID Law. That whole world view is based on the assumption that blacks are less capable of getting a state ID or driver's license.

I think James Carville got closer than party leaders want to to admit when he said the Democratic Party was turning into a bunch of bossy white women ...

MLB in 2021, "We are moving the All-star game from Atlanta because the State of Georgia has disenfranchised minority voters."

Atlanta Braves (full of Black and Latino players), "Hold my beer."

And in both elections since minority voter turnout has been higher. Imagine that - black Americans just as capable as white of filling out a driver's license application ... I imagine many Democrats are still astonished that a black voter can manage to get by without them ...

Listening to James Carville lately sounds like he is in early stages of dementia: more rant than reason!

Martin you are on fire with this one!

I know your views on Trump and respect your opinion, but I really like that you acknowledge why some of us are not so quietly laughing at this meltdown of the progressive platforms.

I am in Oregon this week and there is no shortage of mask wearing, purple haired, trans freak flags flying here, but looking around at the business blighted towns in what previously were economic hotbeds enforces my belief that nothing will change until the voters change.

Hopefully, the exodus of entrepreneurial men and women is slowed before their aren’t enough people left to fill job opportunities if the voters finally wake up.

I remember when Portland was a relatively clean and beautiful city though by 1990 it was becoming a magnet for homeless people. Today - alas!
