Such a shame Trigger would not come outside to say hello to Calhoun. Instead of braving up and doing so, he ShitPosted all day about his fear of meeting me.

Reminiscent of SCM no-showing for the hot dog toss as Goshen. At the appointed time, he chose to film himself a half mile away rambling some incoherent nonsense.

Birds of a feather, I suppose.
I like who the first person was that responded to him.

Political Roundtable / collapse

The Road to Oblivion

The Democratic Party’s collapse is no longer hypothetical; it is happening in real time. To recover, the party would need to undertake a radical transformation: abandoning its failing elites, focusing on issues that matter to ordinary Americans, and rejecting the divisive identity politics and empty gestures that have alienated its base.

But the Democrats show no inclination to change. Instead, they seem poised to double down on the same failed strategies that have left them humiliated and out of power. Unless they chart a new course - and quickly - they risk fading into irrelevance, remembered not for what they achieved, but for what they squandered.

For a party that once claimed to represent the working class, this is a tragedy of its own making. And in politics, as in life, such failures have consequences. For the Democrats, those consequences have arrived.

Why Trump’s Message Resonates—and Democrats’ Doesn’t

It’s no surprise that Donald Trump continues to draw support from these communities. Despite his wealth, Trump’s message resonates with working-class Americans who feel abandoned by both parties. Trump doesn’t shame his supporters or lecture them on privilege; instead, he validates their struggles and frustrations, albeit in ways that are often disingenuous and based on lies. His disregard for political correctness gives people a sense of freedom from the judgment they feel from progressives. For many of his followers, he represents an escape from the constant pressure to feel guilty about systemic injustices they feel disconnected from.

Trump’s supporters are often willing to believe in his economic promises—even when those promises are empty—because they see in him someone who, at the very least, acknowledges their pain. They’re drawn to his promise of restoring jobs, protecting industries, and fighting for their livelihoods. Democrats, meanwhile, tout strong economic numbers and broad policies while often failing to recognize the localized economic suffering felt in many rural and working-class communities. Trump’smis compelling because, for many, they’re more comforting than a Democratic narrative that doesn’t seem to see their economic reality at all.

The appeal of figures like Musk, similar to Trump, lies in their ability to tap into working-class discontent without challenging the very system that keeps them in power. They offer a convenient narrative that promises economic relief and empowerment without questioning how they got their wealth in the first place. In reality, billionaires need economic inequality to maintain their status, yet they craft public personas that paint them as rebels against the very structures that empower them.

The Democratic Party’s Blind Spot
Privilege, economic disconnect, and a failure to truly champion the marginalized.
As we Democrats look back at a tough election loss, it's crucial to face an uncomfortable reality: the party has developed a blind spot. Despite its progressive stance, the Democratic Party has failed to recognize its own privilege and how that privilege shapes its priorities, its policies, and its failures to connect with the very people it claims to champion. Many of those voting Democrat, especially white, straight, and financially comfortable Americans, align themselves with social justice causes yet often remain insulated from the struggles of those marginalized groups they say they support. This failure to address the economic and social realities of working-class Americans, including those from marginalized communities, has created a disconnect that played a significant role in the party's defeat.

Poor white Americans, in particular, feel alienated when the party emphasizes ideals like diversity, equity, and inclusion without first addressing the economic burdens so many of them share. Many feel unseen when they are told they’re privileged solely based on race, while their struggles with poverty, addiction, and insecurity go overlooked. They’re told they have advantages, yet they see no signs of it in their own lives. The economic distress felt by poor and working-class Americans—regardless of race—is real, yet it feels minimized by a party that often focuses on ideological issues rather than survival.

The Democratic Party needs to address its own privilege—its white, straight privilege that allows it to assume it understands what marginalized communities need better than they themselves do. Just because someone aligns with progressive values doesn’t mean they’re living the struggles of marginalized people. In fact, many of the white, straight, affluent voices in the party often have more resources and security than those they speak for. This gap creates a sense of frustration and even betrayal among struggling Americans who feel unheard.
