After the election the Democratic Party (my party) must rethink many of its policies as it ponders its future.

To be entrusted with power again Democrats must start listening to the concerns of the working class for a change. As a lifelong moderate Democrat I share their disdain for many of the insane positions advocated by my party.

Democrat politicians defy biology by believing that men can actually become women and belong in women’s sports, rest rooms, locker rooms and prisons and that children should be mutilated in pursuit of the impossible.

They believe borders should be open to millions of illegals which undermines workers’ wages and the affordability of housing when we can’t house our own citizens.

They discriminate against whites, Asians and men in a vain effort to counter past discrimination against others and undermine our economy by abandoning merit selection of students and employees.

Democratic mayors allow homelessness to destroy our beautiful cities because they won't say no to destructive behavior. No you can’t camp in this city. No you can’t shit in our streets No you can’t shoot up and leave your used needles everywhere. Many of our prosecutors will not take action against shoplifting unless a $1000 of goods are stolen leading to gangs destroying retail stores. They release criminals without bond to rob and murder again.

The average voter knows this is happening and outright reject our party. Enough.

Oren rightly speaks of the left's identity gambit "undermining our national solidarity and enshitifying our politics". I agree. But at worst, they provide a playground for elites to argue with other elites about language policing. Meanwhile, I'm struggling for terminology for what to call Don's version of identity politics. How do we categorize his authoritarian terms like "vermin", "poisoning the blood", "military tribunal", and "enemy from within"? Or, his everyday utterings such as "blood coming out from her whatever", "horseface", "you're a shit vice-president", and "shithole countries", etc etc etc? Merely enshitifying? Mean tweets? I choose to believe JD's first view of Don, the one before he self-gelded. I choose to believe the on record statements of his highest ranking staff-his VP, chairman of the joint chiefs, chiefs of staff, national security advisors, secretaries of state and defense. If you haven't done so, look them up. Read them closely. If your life depended on it, would you believe John Kelly, or Don? JD was right the first time. Country over party.
