A little more

cheerful data:

If this trend holds up on election day, it portends a near-extinction level event for Democrats. Democrats depend on minority votes to win elections. They haven’t won the white vote in a presidential election for 60 years. This can only mean one thing: Democrats will turn up the racism charge all the way to 11 and beyond. But after dealing the race card from the bottom of the deck for so long, will it still work as well (except among guilty white liberals and the college-miseducated)?

Continetti thinks

that the shift we are seeing is real. I sure hope so!

My colleague at the American Enterprise Institute Ruy Teixeira, as well as GOP pollster Patrick Ruffini, have storehouses of data that show Democrats losing non-college-educated minority voters—Hispanic voters in particular—to Republicans. Each new survey confirms their findings. The evidence is overwhelming.

… “The migration we’re seeing today is not so much natural Democrats becoming disillusioned,” writes Burn-Murdoch, “but natural Republicans realizing they’ve been voting for the wrong party.” That has made Trump’s GOP more diverse, more non-college, and more conservative.

… A realigned politics is unstable. As the Democrats become the party of college-educated, affluent insiders, they become removed from the world of non-college-educated workers who feel ignored or excluded from elite institutions and expert decision-making. The professionalization of print, digital, and broadcast media has estranged writers and talkers from most Americans. The highly educated, highly compensated denizens of Washington, D.C., and its surrounding counties have become a world unto themselves.

… The Democratic coalition has imploded. And the fourth stage of realignment—raucous, demotic, performative, over-the-top, transgressive, and potentially earth-shattering—is about to begin.

Yes? Well we

shall see. It’s just that historically it has always been on the horizon but never arriving.

Now, it’s true that we are seeing some different things this time, and that makes me hopeful. But still…

If reality is anything within 10 points of what is shown here, Democrats are well and truly hosed.

We’ve known for years that the black and Hispanic vote has been trending more Republican. But as the Democrats’ share of the white vote shrinks and the GOP minority support increases, Democrats find themselves in dire straits.

You know, it’s

pretty dang obvious the “squeeze” the Democrats are in: Joe Biden is a senile old corruptocrat, and everyone knows it. Yet they have no good viable half-decent alternatives!

Democratic voters would like to see President Joe Biden replaced as the party’s 2024 pick, but they are scrunching their nose at the poor collection of alternatives.

While recent polls have suggested that Democrats would back former first lady Michelle Obama, a Rasmussen Reports survey shared with Secrets on Monday found that the leading pick among Democrats is “none of them” at 27%. [emphasis added]

You KNOW he’s

senile and actually not running the show, right? Try as his lackeys might, they can’t “hide the decline.”

Nate Silver’s article:

If you’re someone who would rather not see Trump re-elected again or who cares about the election for other reasons, it’s time to face the facts. You need to adjust to the new reality and not be mired in anchoring bias by your previous impression of the race.

And:

It is a reason for Democrats to be the adults in the room and acknowledge that someone who can’t sit through a Super Bowl interview isn’t someone the public can trust to have the physical and mental stamina to handle an international crisis, terrorist attack, or some other unforeseen threat when he’ll be in his mid-80s.

Silver himself, while a hard Lefty, is not at all optimistic about Joe’s chance of political survival:

If Biden doesn’t drop out of the race between Super Tuesday and the convention, they’ll kick him to the curb faster than you (he) can say: “I’m an elderly man, and I know what the hell I’m doing.”

OK, but then what, Nate? If there were another half-decent option, Biden would already begone. But there just isn’t, which is why Joe is still there. I mean, he initially was expected to serve only one term, anyway.

But, in a paraphrase of Emperor Hirohito’s famous words, “The [electoral] situation has developed not necessarily to [Democrats’] advantage]”

Well, it’s pretty

good news. There weren’t a ton of DeSantis voters, but I think most of what are there will switch to Trump.

Yes, well,

we can hope.

Joe Rogan called out the Democrats for continuing to use lawfare against former president Donald Trump ahead of the 2024 election, warning they have no cards left.

Yes, what they are doing is despicable and obvious election interference. People who value fairness are outraged!

“I think they have no cards and they’re looking at this game and I think they’re depending upon party loyalty and they’re depending upon Trump getting convicted and arrested and imprisoned. I don’t know if that’s going to happen.”

Honestly, she is

a totally amoral shrew. People hate her, and for good reason.

This is the reason why President Trump’s standing with voters has continuously strengthened since he left office.  He is the antithesis of all that Hillary represents, which is why now might be the right time for him to rebrand Hillary Clinton, permanently, once and for all.  Trump recently re-monikered Hillary from “Crooked” to “Beautiful.”  After her never-ending assaults on those who support Trump most, and in addition to him previously referring to her as “the Devil,” now would be a good time for Trump to give her her most fitting name of all: Hateful Hillary.

But Democrats would be wise to look forward, not backward. And I don’t think an evil old relic like Hillary is the answer. That generation has passed.

This article

makes me think a bit.

I think it is basically wrong, and the supposed disinterest of the public is very often used as an excuse for wrongdoing–“no one really cares and everyone does it.” You know, the Bill Clinton defense. And it leads to a morally bankrupt and totally repugnant Clintonian worldview. Because on a broad scale, there is virtually nothing as important and world-changing as politics.

I mean, you get shirts like this:

Why one star? Politics. It’s certainly not a rating of the weather or the Pacific Coast Highway!

Politics affects your life, your job, your ability to provide for yourself, your religion, your family, and what kind of world you will leave to those who come after you.

The very air you breathe and the water you drink is tied up in politics. The way you worship–or don’t–is tied very directly to politics. It is myopic in the extreme to pretend that you can just ignore politics and all will be fine. Honestly, what is more important than politics?

To ignore politics is to jam your fingers in your ears and avoid the world. It is a frantic effort to escape reality and to retreat into the numbness of know-nothingisn.

Let’s face it, most people would rather discuss grandma’s fungal infection than the circus on the Potomac. 

OK, but that is a symptom of learned helplessness, not a sign of good or even adequate psychological functioning. Go ahead, tell all the soldiers killed in battle and their loved ones that politics is irrelevant. They might disagree with you…
