Then there's progressivism. It's really getting unpopular with most people across the race and religion divide. It's so unpopular that it's turning Democrat or undecided voters away. The only people who like it are the middle class white urbanites. That's a big voting block but it's not enough. The Republicans are quickly becoming a very broad party while millions of traditionally Democrat voters abandon them.
Kamala herself was just a bad candidate.
What gets me is that since 2021 there were three full cycles already where voters booted out progressives.
The first sign that things were going downhill was the VA governor's race (there were many other downballot defeats before this, but this was the big "uh oh"). Terry McAuliffe had the backing of the Clinton regime and the American Federation of Teachers, and every educator was instructed to get on the march. But the serial troon rapist in Loudoun County was too big too ignore. Black people rose up against the tide in Virginia Beach because their schools are a shitshow.
And Democrats were calling the Lt. Gov candidate a token coon black (Winsome Sears), and accusing her of mental defect—you name it. None of it worked. The race wasn't even close.
Between then and this election there were wave after wave of the most visible progressives getting wiped out. Nearly all the Soros DAs are gone. The whole "crime is down" nonsense that Democrats do all the time belies the extreme urban chaos of the last four years.
Only when I/P came up, did the DNC decide to lock the progressives out of the convention (like they did with Berniebros). So that tells you they were at least somewhat cognizant that this was a problem. But instead of addressing any of the issues directly by putting down a red line, they still played pattycake with progressives. That was a bad move on Israel, because the Nazi-era shit coming out of the mouths of progressives has scared the bejeezus out of people.
It's driven a ton of people away from Progressivism. "Why the hell would I line up with a political movement that is always obsessed about daily-shifting purity tests, and I have to learn how to communicate my disdain for Jews in a coded way?" That's asking too much out of people who were only interested in it because they hate their landlords.
It's fully mask-off now. Democrats used their billion dollars to shower celebs and distractions on to people and it's so much that people tapped out. No one cares about your problems. Beyoncé likes her, so vote Kamala, you should to. Can't afford those eggs? Well you shop at stupid stores you stupid bitch.
