I certainly agree that democrats lack a soul (and a vision outside of biological males breaking records in female competition), but one can only hope their day is done. The cult is strong.

This abandonment of the American worker created a problem for Democrats and an opportunity for Republicans. While the Democrats had long been an awkward mix of blue-collar workers, ethnic minorities and urban liberals the Republicans had never depended on these voters. Now MAGA Republicans began to openly call for re-industrialization through tariffs, an end to illegal immigration and a reversal of costly restrictions on energy production. At the same time more and more citizens began voting along economic rather than ethnic lines. The result has been one of the most dramatic shifts in our political landscape since the Civil War. One that saw Trump elected twice.

Social issues are also important. Britain's Liberals were slow to recognize the growing momentum of the women's suffrage movement and progressive Democrats have overplayed their hand on race and gender. Most Americans believe the content of your character matters more than color of your skin and do not want a Supreme Court justice selection explicitly restricted to a black woman. Most Americans do not want biological males playing soccer against their daughters and yet Senate Democrats have blocked efforts to prevent that from happening. Democrats also continue to promote the idea of sanctuary states for transgender minors and allowing treatment without their parents explicit say so. All of this is costing Democrats support among socially conservative voters.

Foreign policy played a secondary, but still important, role in the demise of the Liberal Party when the question of home rule for Ireland led Ulster Unionists to feel betrayed. Today many Americans feel betrayed by Washington's globalist elite. They do not want to be the planet's policeman and resent defending a global order they believe is built on defense spending imbalances and unfair trade practices. They want a president who puts America, not the United Nations, first.
