can sometimes tell which way the wind is blowing!
The New York Times editorial board just discovered what conservatives have been saying for years: the Democratic Party is completely out of touch with everyday Americans.
It’s a stunning rebuke from a paper that typically carries the water for Dems. The Times finally admitted the obvious: Democrats’ obsession with identity politics and their “scolding, censorious posture” have driven voters straight into Republicans’ arms.
That is not much of a revelation for most of us. But it is a big, though incomplete, step for the New York Times. And yes, they need to change. But it won’t happen right now because they have not “hit bottom” yet. Still, some of them can kind of see that on the horizon.
Without identity politics, what do Democrats even have? Strip that away, and all that’s left is a pile of failed policies and a party with nothing to fall back on—no distractions, no scapegoats, no emotional manipulation to cover for their incompetence. It’s the only playbook they know, and without it, they’re completely exposed.
