Trump Presidency and Liberal Hypocrisy
Liberals and progressives are forever predicting Donald Trump’s political demise. After each purported outrage – Charlottesville, separating children from their immigrant parents, now Helsinki – they confidently contend that this latest event will finally force Trump’s supporters to abandon him. Yet not only does this not happen, Trump’s support has actually risen by 6% since late 2017. How do they keep getting it so wrong?
The sheer ordinariness of Trump’s coalition is impossible to overstate.
Data from the Voter Study Group show that more than 80% of his votes came from men and women who voted for Republican nominee Mitt Romney just four years before. This group contains the usual suspects among American Republicans: tax-cut advocates, religious evangelicals and Catholics, gun rights supporters and business types eager for deregulation. Trump has made sure to give each faction what they most desire just like any good politician would. That keeps them in his camp even as the media attempts to belittle Trump with each supposed transgression.
The recent nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the supreme court thus solidified their conservatives support.
Social conservatives believe that Trump is much likelier to back their views than the man he is replacing, Anthony Kennedy. They might be troubled by other things he says or does, but so long as he keeps his end of the bargain on their priority they will swallow hard and stick with their man.
Nor are Trump’s voters united by racism and sexism, as many on the left presume.
Analysis by the libertarian Cato Institute’s Emily Ekins found that Trump’s general election support broke into five groups. Only one, the American Preservationists, contained a large number of voters who could be said to be generally hostile to racial and ethnic minorities per se. They were outnumbered by another group, the Free Marketeers, whose attitudes towards racial and ethnic minorities were as or more tolerant than the attitudes of Hillary Clinton supporters. Each faction’s continued support for Trump is based upon how he acts on their priorities, not on one overarching theme. Full Story
Why Liberals are losing the war Against Trump
Cynthia Nixon, a liberal candidate for New York governor and former star of “Sex and the City,” just went a step further into crazy land. She tweeted that “ICE is a terrorist organization and its egomaniacal leader is Donald Trump.”
Well, at least it’s all now out into the open. Liberals support illegal alien criminals and think ICE agents who protect our border, shield us from terrorism and save women and children from kidnappers, rapists and murderers are “terrorists.”
Good luck in the midterms with radical, insane views such as this.
In Boston, liberal City Council members are considering giving noncitizens (including DACA recipients) voting rights. It turns out there are 190,000 noncitizen residents in Boston. That’s nearly 28 per cent of the city’s population. These “noncitizens” include visa holders. Liberals think the vote of a visa holder, in America temporarily, should cancel out your vote.
Good luck in the midterms with radical, insane views such as this.
Netflix host Michelle Wolf isn’t just a liberal feminist abortion proponent. She led a “salute to abortions” on her latest show. She led “abortion chants” in front of a marching band. Then she ended her monologue with “God bless abortions and God bless America.”
Now liberals chant “God bless abortion.” Not only is that disgusting, but think about the hypocrisy. According to liberals, separation of children from a criminal parent for a few months is so heinous it is Hitleresque. But the separation of an innocent child from a parent for eternity through barbaric methods such as partial-birth abortion is “blessed by God.” Full Story
