The Democrats just don't get that they've completely lost the blue collar class across the board. It started with blue collar Whites, shifted to Latinos, and is now eating into the Black vote. Only decades of the Republicans are 'racist' indoctrination is preventing more from switching. Navigator reported 24-30% of Black men voted for Trump, with the figure at the high end for Black men under 45. It's a realignment and it hasn't finished yet.
Reading Bouie at Slate in my mid twenties turned me off the left. He’s retarded. Also I’m pretty sure if you look for highest functioning lowest crime black communities you will find them in the South. Parts of Atlanta, Houston, etc.
Dems have “to negotiate with Black political power” to be meaningful in the South? If that is considered insightful then the whole dialogue was a waste of time and oxygen. In AL, where I live, blacks already vote 90+% for Dems and hold the Dem party hostage. There is no concievable way they could get more to vote for Dems. Their game plan is a failure before starting if Dems think they need to pander to blacks even more than they have.
David French is from Alabama and grew up in Kentucky. He’s a southerner by every sense of the word. They are talking about his people and his home while he does nothing. Pathetic.
I like how they ignore that most of those southern states are more racially diverse, and thus more cosmopolitan, than the deep blue states they put on a high pedestal.
Houston is more culturally diverse than pretty much any northeastern city other than NYC, and certainly more than Chicago, Boston, Philly, Seattle, Portland, etc.
People with a $350,000 house budget can barely buy a dilapidated shack in L.A., and can’t buy anything in NYC or Boston. In the south they can get a 1800+ sq fr house.
I live around extremely “progressive” people, and I hear these kinds of condescensions (and worse) about southerners all the time. If I’m being honest, I held those types of attitudes at one point in my life, but now I find it viscerally disgusting. Good job highlighting this thanks for writing.
While the dysfunction of California nyc and chicago can be overemphasized they are real. I he rationalizations that crime is “getting better” and homelessness is a result of the failure of capitalism seem to hide the fact that these pathologies are not a bug but a feature of their vision of society
While you might think that far fetched remember that last year this time that there was no way tongue the border, any wall was breechable so there was no point in trying.
French is a contemptible quisling.
It's hard to imagine a state being more segregated than present day California

The Democrats main demographic is AWFLs.

“10 million residents, or 25% of the 40 million total are foreign born. To ignore the frictions this creates is willful ignorance at this point.”
95% of homeless people on the streets are ranting in unaccented American English and are almost certainly natural born citizens.
What does that have to do with anything
I hate these people so much.
