Given the likely defeat of President Donald Trump, a functionally headless Republican Party is destined for a period of reflection. Trump himself, for all his rudeness and often unnecessary, divisive rhetoric, has transformed the Republican Party from being a bastion of the establishment to a voice for America's working and middle class.
In the aftermath of Trump's narrow defeat, the media will likely push "respectable" anti-Trump front groups, like the Democratic funded AstroTurf Lincoln Project and others who backed President-elect Joe Biden. But given Trump's extraordinary support among Republicans, these onetime GOP media and political operatives have a stronger affinity with today's Democrats who, increasingly, resemble the old Republicans, with lockstep support from the upper class, notably on Wall Street and Silicon Valley, as well as law and professional service firms.
Certainly, the "party of the people" is where the money is: Overall Democratic campaign spending has more than tripled since 2008, running this year about two times that for Republicans. The upcoming cataclysmic battle to win the Georgia Senate seats already started with a big Silicon Valley fundraiser. As the Democrats have gathered in the .01 percent, Trump won three-quarters of the white working-class vote, down slightly from 2016, but made significant gains with racial minorities.

The working class did poorly under former President Barack Obama, as well as his gentry Republican predecessors, while their incomes rose during Trump's brief presidency before COVID-19. This may explain why even with the amiable Irishman Joe Biden atop the ticket, the Democratic brand is "not good" among working-class voters, as lamented by Rep. Tim Ryan who represents hardscrabble Youngstown in Congress. This conclusion was also drawn by the campaign experience of Presidential candidate Andrew Yang.
As of today, both the middle and working classes have little reason to adhere to a mainstream political party. The reasons go beyond cultural reaction or racism, as some progressives insist. When Trump lambasts free trade and China, he may alienate much of the corporate elite, but the message appeals to people and communities that lost, according to one labor-backed group, 3.4 million jobs between 1979 and 2017 to the Middle Kingdom.
Trump has done best with those who work with their hands, in factories, the logistics industry and energy; these working-class voters, notes a recent study by CityLab, repair and operate machines, drive trucks and operate our power grid. Some progressives suggest it's time for Democrats to abandon the working class and rely instead on educated millennials, minorities, and professionals as well as globally oriented businesses. This seems likely to push the party away from lunch-bucket issues and into the insidious realm of identity politics.

In 2016, Trump's appeal to minorities was limited by his own nativist rhetoric, and, more so, that of his sometimes truly deplorable supporters, although he did no worse than gentry candidate Mitt Romney years earlier. This year he gained a significantly larger Latino vote, particularly in Florida and Texas (but not so well in California), and did better, albeit less impressively, among African Americans. Overall, he won the highest percentage of minority votes than any Republican since 1960.
The reasons for this pattern seem obvious. Latinos are heavily represented in blue-collar professions, notably in the service fields, construction, logistics and manufacturing. They have generally done better under President Trump than previous administrations and have been most hurt by lockdowns, high energy prices and curbs on suburban housing.
The ever more radical social views that dominate the "woke" left and increasingly corporate America also may not play well with many immigrants who, according to one recent survey, are twice as conservative in their social views as the general public. Hispanics may not be the reliable social conservatives imagined by some Republicans, but they certainly seem unlikely to widely share the world-view of woke faculty lounges. Adding Latinos, African Americans and, in some states, Asians to the GOP's working and middle-class base will prove critical to building a populist majority. Today barely 58% of all working-class Americans are white; according to a 2016 Economic Policy Institute study, people of color will constitute the majority of the working class by 2032.

The wags are having their fun with an election result that's hinged upon whether Joe Biden garnered sufficient support from white voters to negate an apparent surge toward Donald Trump among minority groups. The president owes much of his margin in Florida to strong gains in Miami's Cuban-American community, while in Texas he won largely-Hispanic Zapata County along the Mexican border, which Hillary Clinton won by more than 30 points four years ago. Not everyone is amused.
Writing in the New York Times, columnist Charles Blow declares himself "stunned" by the "personally devastating" news that exit polls (all disclaimers apply) show minority groups continuing their rightward trend of recent years. In what must surely be among the most noxious claims printed in recent years by The New York Times, he concludes that, "All of this to me points to the power of the white patriarchy and the coattail it has of those who depend on it or aspire to it. ... Some people who have historically been oppressed will stand with the oppressors, and will aspire to power by proximity."
Blow's gross accusation follows "analyses" from several other writers blinded by staring incessantly through the same racial lens. Nikole Hannah-Jones of 1619-Project fame solves her conundrum by deciding that some minorities who support President Trump actually are white, while The Root's Michael Harriot explains that such support is how they become white. Washington Post reporter Eugene Scott says they "support white supremacy" and his colleague Karen Attiah describes them as "going along to get along" with white supremacists as a "survival strategy." A befuddled Paul Krugman, perhaps looking backward through his binoculars, declares that he has "no idea what the true lessons are."
Turn the binoculars around, and it is easy to see a realignment of working-class voters, regardless of race, toward the party that expresses an interest in their economic concerns. The Democratic Party has become the party of college-educated professionals, focused on forgiving student debt and a "transition" from uncouth industries, ensuring the unfettered flow of unskilled immigrant workers, and framing education policy around the interests of teachers rather than students. Yes, they will raise taxes, but they will fight tooth-and-nail for the "SALT" deduction that gives a discount to owners of expensive homes in high-tax states. They will expand government programs, but their idea of "pro-family" policy is free childcare so both parents can work full-time. What they'd really like to talk to you about, if you have a minute, is climate change and racial justice.
Trump emphasized people's jobs, the importance of industries like manufacturing and professions like the trades, and the value people placed on their own places—the towns where they lived, and their roles as productive contributors to their communities. The problem was not a tax rate that discouraged investors from creating jobs, it was that investors preferred creating jobs in China. His "plan" was not to get everyone a college degree, or retrain them in some exciting new field, or help them move somewhere with greater opportunity, it was to make those things unnecessary. He was interested in "law and order," not "critical race theory"; in "clean air and water," not solving "global climate change"; in advancing American interests through foreign and immigration policy, not abstractly "reflecting our values"; in rising wages that allow you to support your family, not government programs that support your family because you cannot. Many people of all races feel the same way.
The idea of conservatives as the vindicator of workers' interests may sound strange, but only because we have forgotten what conservatism means. The market fundamentalism that we call "conservative," celebrating growth and markets without concern for their effects on family and community, and trusting that the invisible hand will invariably advance the interests of the nation, is libertarian. Conservatives are moving beyond it. And experience now suggests that, as they do, a broad-based, multi-ethnic coalition of working families could be eager to join them.

My union pays me 70% of my regular salary should I get fired... Its many times more than the normal welfare check you get from the government.
And they also give me a lawyer should I get discriminated because of my race and sexual orientation.
There are pros and cons.
The rather fat paycheck for doing nothing is a big pro.

If you are a member of a powerful union in Canada, dismissal is almot impossible..
But, if you are fired, the union will eventually get one's job back in perhaps a year, with one hundred per cent of lost wages.

Biden Pledges To Hike Taxes To Bush Administration Levels

Joe Biden Considers Samantha Power, Known For Advocating Military Intervention Abroad, To Lead USAID
Joe Biden is reportedly considering former United Nations ambassador Samantha Power to lead the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), according to Axios.
Power is the author of "A Problem from Hell: America and the Age of Genocide," a book published in 2002 detailing the U.S.'s inaction during periods of genocide abroad. Power had been a freelance war correspondent in the Balkans in the 1990s. She is known for advocating for greater humanitarian interventions, and has written that the U.S. must be "prepared to risk the lives of its soldiers" in order to counter assaults on civilians abroad, the New Yorker reported.
She joined the White House in 2009, and soon after in 2011, began to push for military intervention in Libya as a member of the National Security Council. Biden, who was vice president at the time, opposed the no-fly zone, but former President Barack Obama later supported one.

It's time for the "Deplorables" fully to take over the Republican Party.
Some have suggested starting a new party—and I can understand that, given the frustrations—but why go to the trouble when you have the numbers to have all the power?
An existing party apparatus is sitting there and is there for the taking. Let's do it.
Just to be clear—who do I mean by the "deplorables"?
They are the decent, hard-working Americans of all classes that revere our democratic republic and our founding documents and deplore (in the real sense of the word) the Deep State and the dominance of Washington DC over our lives.
They reject bureaucracy, the uni-party of insiders, and the dangerous Orwellian pervasiveness of Big Tech and its social media tentacles replete with censorship and thought control.
They also seek to preserve liberty and the capitalist system of open markets, while opposing, with all their strength, the incursions of socialism and communism into our country through the influence of the Communist Party of China and others on and in our media, religious institutions, entertainment and educational system.
Above all, they adamantly support our Bill of Rights with freedom of speech and worship and the right to bear arms impregnable.
As of now, these "deplorables" are at least seventy-four million strong—and are, in essence, more unified than any other group, even though sometimes they do not realize it.
This movement is only partly about Donald Trump. He can be looked upon as a founding father of this renewal of American values but, as he himself has said on multiple occasions, this is about us.

Joe Biden Is Building A Secret EPA
We already have an Environmental Protection Agency, and we don't need another one pulling strings for radical climate activists behind closed doors.
This week, President-elect Joe Biden announced a slate of nominations and selections for a variety of environmental positions within his administration. Unsurprisingly, these announcements were met with open arms by the media. But, if Biden is so proud of his upcoming environmental actions, why is he building a new environmental office within the White House? The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) exists for a reason – and it's not to operate in secret from the White House.
Less than three months ago, and while McCarty was leading the NRDC, members of Congress called for an investigation into the ties between foreign actors on environmental non-profits in the United States. Specifically, they called for an examination of the "Sea Change Foundation," which has given millions to the NRDC.
To anyone paying attention, it's clear Joe Biden is trying to play us for fools ... again.
After spending the last six months trying to convince us that he doesn't support extreme ideas like a full ban on fracking and the Green New Deal, Biden is creating bureaucratic positions for leaders that are fully behind those disastrous proposals. His awkward inability to appear as an environmental moderate while still appeasing the radical eco-left like Aleaxandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders led to more than few embarrassing moments during his campaign.
Now that he looks to govern, how will Biden strike the balance between the eco-left's insane demands and the moderate image he needs to project? His solution is simple, yet misleading — he'll have the EPA attempt to pacify the public, and his secret environmental office do the bidding of radical environmentalists. Again, if Joe Biden is so proud of what he's going to implement, he shouldn't shy away from Congress and the public.
The terrible reality is that Gina McCarthy will help form a direct line between her former questionable employer and the White House, leaving America's energy workers without a voice.
There is too much at stake for our country to allow Joe Biden to create a secret EPA that will operate behind closed doors.
In appointing Gina McCarthy to lead the newly created Office of Domestic Climate Policy, Joe Biden is placing his controversial environmental agenda out of view from the American people. McCarthy is set to join former Sen. John Kerry in a questionable environmental role which doesn't require Senate confirmation, meaning less congressional oversight. However, when you look at McCarthy's previous experience, you might understand why Biden doesn't want her in front of any congressional committee.
McCarthy would join the Biden White House after leading the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), an environmental organization that faced scrutiny for their relationship to Chinese entities. Of course, the "solutions" for which the NRDC routinely pushes just so happen to have the potential to destroy American energy independence in favor of Chinese-made solar panels, but I'm sure that's just a coincidence.

President-Elect Biden Introduces Climate Team, EPA Nominee Promises To Combat 'Environmental Justice'
"I'm here today because climate change is not only a threat to the planet — it is a threat to our health and our wellbeing. It is a threat to the people everywhere," said Gina McCarthy, Biden's choice for National Climate Adviser. "Defeating this threat is the fight of our lifetimes."
Biden has long said that combatting climate change would be a top priority for his presidency, a message President Donald Trump and Republicans argued could ruin thousands of American energy jobs.
Biden also announced in late November that he plans to appoint former presidential candidate John Kerry to be climate czar and add him to the National Security Council. Kerry will pursue climate policy internationally in negotiations with China and other countries.
Biden faced harsh criticism following the second presidential debate with Trump after saying he wants the U.S. to transition away from the oil industry.
"I would transition from the oil industry, yes," Biden said when questioned. ""It has to be replaced by renewable energy over time, over time. I'd stop giving them federal subsidies."
Nearly 10 million Americans work in the oil industry, according to the American Petroleum Institute.

yep. The AFL went fucking ballistic over bill 32.
the AFL clowns actually thought Alberta was full of woke leftists that will frogmarch to their tune of boycotting businesses because the UCP cut off a big part of their gravy train of funneling dues money to the NDP.
The boycott had the same effect as AOC calling for boycotts of goya. more people vowing to do more business with those businesses rather than less. Gil shuffled back into obscurity with an ass that matched his beliefs(communist red) and trying to pretend that backfired trainwreck never happened.
What the fuck dids they expect would happen in a deep blue(or red if you're american) province?

A majority of Americans prefer a free-market economic system over a socialist economic system, according to a recent poll conducted jointly by The Heartland Institute and Rasmussen Reports.
Respondents were asked, among other questions "which is better—a free-market economic system or socialism?" in which 75 percent chose the free-market economic system. Just 11 percent voted for socialism, according to the Dec. 18 poll that surveyed 1,000 people across the nation.
One question asked respondents for their impression of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), a member of the Democratic Socialists of America.
Most of the respondents had a negative view of Cortez: 38 percent said they had a "very unfavorable" impression of the congresswoman while 20 percent said they had a "somewhat unfavorable" impression of her. Eighteen percent said they had a "very favorable" view of her, while 19 percent said they see her as "somewhat favorable." About 15 percent of likely voters said they were not sure.
Chris Talgo, editor and Research Fellow at The Heartland Institute, said in a statement that "despite the increased calls for socialism by many on the far left," most still believe that the United States "should embrace a free-market economy."
"Only a sliver of likely voters think that the United States should abandon the free-market capitalistic policies that are responsible for making the United States the wealthiest nation in world history," he added.
"Despite the countless calls for more socialism among elites in media and Hollywood, Americans aren't interested in adopting the same socialist policies that have led to mass poverty wherever they have been tried."

A new poll shows that 72 percent of likely Republican voters think President Donald Trump should be the role model for the GOP going forward, rather than the average Republican member of Congress.
"As the Republican Party reorganizes itself next year, should it be more like President Trump or more like the average GOP member of Congress?" respondents were asked on Dec. 21-22, according to a Rasmussen poll published on Monday.
With a sampling error of +/- 3 percentage points, 72 percent of GOP voters said "Trump."
Asked whether Republicans should look for a fresh face to run for president in 2024 or whether they should field a candidate that has already run in the past, 52 percent of likely GOP voters said they would like to see someone new. A similar question was put to voters six years ago, namely whether they thought the GOP needed a fresh face in 2016. At the time, 64 percent opted for new blood, with Trump beating out Republican rivals in the primaries two years later, before going on to win the race for the White House.
The results suggest there continues to be strong support for Trump among Republicans. Other surveys suggest broader support for his policies.
A Gallup poll several weeks ahead of the Nov. 3 election indicated that a clear majority (56 percent) of all voters declared that they were better off than they were four years ago, suggesting most Americans feel they have benefited from Trump's policies. These results were higher than in 1984, 1992, 2004, and 2012, when incumbent presidents ran for a second term.
But while the average American household, thanks to Trump's tax cuts, saved around $1,600 per year, and his economic policies saw record low unemployment, including among black and Hispanic Americans, a CBS exit poll following the November election found that 76 percent of voters who wanted a "unifying candidate" voted for Democrat Joe Biden, suggesting many had grown weary of Trump's style of politics.
Yet the fact that Republicans made strong gains in House races and, pending the Georgia runoffs, may hold their majority in the Senate, could mean that many voters repudiated the liberal agenda, and Trump's "Make America Great Again" platform enjoys popular support.
Meanwhile, a recent Gallup survey shows that Trump is the most admired man in America this year. Eighteen percent of respondents chose Trump as the most admired man of 2020, a year after he tied former President Barack Obama for first place.

A poll released Monday by Rasmussen Reports found that 72% of likely Republican voters believe the GOP should be more like Trump than the average Republican member of Congress. Just 24% of respondents thought Congressional Republicans were a better model for the GOP's future.

President Donald Trump issued a new tweet on Friday morning, saying that the 75 million people who voted for him will have a "giant voice" in the future.
"The 75,000,000 great American Patriots who voted for me, AMERICA FIRST, and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, will have a GIANT VOICE long into the future," he wrote. "They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form!!!"

Ari Fleischer is an establishment Republican, a war mongering dick, and a cowardly piece of shit, but he hit the nail on the frickin head. Fleischer wrote in October that he was voting for the president due to the choice of either "a personally offensive outsider who signs good policies and a professionally offensive politician who will turn bad ideas into law,"

"President Trump continues to be the most powerful, the most influential Republican on the planet Earth. It's my expectation that while he'll be leaving the White House in several days when his term is lawfully complete, he will continue to weigh in on matters that are important to the tens of millions of Americans who voted for him, who believe that this election process that we went through in 2020 still deserves more scrutiny and who expect that there will still be a constituency of people fighting for the America First agenda," he added.
"I believe that we need to become more of a blue collar party, more of a worker party. We need to still embrace our conservative values, especially our conservative social values. "But consistent on our conservative ideology and focus on trying to help working Americans, forgotten Americans. Trump's base is the future of the Republican Party."
It's s a solid growth strategy since the Democrats have become the party of oligarchs.

'We Need New Leadership In The US Senate': Sean Hannity Calls On Mitch McConnell To Step Down
Hannity directed the opening monologue of "Hannity" at McConnell and criticized him for his inconsistency in supporting President Donald Trump, as well as trying to reassert establishment control over the Republican Party.
"Establishment Republicans have no backbone, no principle, no courage, no vision. Too many politicians in D.C. are just far too willing to go along, get along, and protect the swamp," Hannity continued, "and that is why conservatives like myself, well, we're tired of these empty promises, and your rehearsed speeches, and had never getting anything done."
"We need new leadership in the U.S. Senate. You can represent the people of Kentucky. You're showing basically right now that you are the king of the establishment Republicans that frankly have always had, and remain having, contempt for President Trump, but more importantly, the 75 million Americans that voted for him," Hannity concluded.

You are wasting you time, moron. Biden is prez. Get over it. Go make another jim crow thread.
What an interesting concept of democracy Edward.......once someone wins elected office they should not be held to account..
The only problem with your theory is that the exact opposite happened with that the last administration even before he was inaugurated.

Cotton criticized Biden for preaching "unity" and then enacting divisive policies.
Appearing on Fox News with host Harris Faulkner, Cotton took aim at Biden's executive actions on immigration, climate change, and other reversals of President Donald Trump's policies he said were detrimental to the United States.
"I think the scale of Joe Biden's executive orders and the impact they have on Americans is pretty stark," Cotton said. "The president preached unity from the inaugural stand and then in the Oval Office he signed executive orders on immigration that would stop construction of the border wall and give work permits to millions of illegal immigrants in our country, putting American workers last, putting foreigners first."
Cotton also criticized Biden for revoking the Keystone XL Pipeline permit, preventing an estimated 60,000 jobs from being created "simply because the Democratic Party disfavors those kinds of jobs."
"He ended the travel ban on countries like Syria not because we can all of a sudden vet Syrians coming into this country, make sure they're not a threat or make sure that they don't carry the coronavirus, but because again the Democrats wanted to signal their virtue that they're going to reverse everything Donald Trump did regardless of its impact on the American people," he continued.
"This is a bad way to start the administration."

Apparently, the younger Biden didn't listen because he appeared in an ad promoting a law firm that touted his presidential brother
P Joe Biden delivered a warning to his younger brother about business dealings. However, it appears that the younger brother didn't heed the warning because he recently appeared in an advertisement that touted his relationship with the commander in chief that has some raising ethics questions.
During the campaign trail, Joe Biden confronted his brother Frank Biden. Then-candidate Biden warned his younger brother about potential business dealings, "For Christ's sake, watch yourself," according to Politico.

We are left with the "downstream" workers who lack practical smarts and thats why they vote for policies that are just dumb.
This is our new working class... The dude who passes the product to the consumers.
He is a heroin addicted monkey who is barely able to work the cashier and supports BLM and legalizing the "holy sacrament".

George Bush Calls Republican Party 'Isolationist, Protectionist, And To A Certain Extent Nativist'
Former President George W. Bush commented on the present-day Republican Party on Tuesday and said it wasn't what he had envisioned.
"I would describe it as isolationist, protectionist and to a certain extent nativist," Bush said on "The TODAY Show." The former president said that the GOP's platform is not what he had envisioned now that he is not actively engaged in Washington, D.C., politics.
"Well it's not exactly my vision, but you know, I'm just an old guy they put out to pasture so just a simple painter," Bush said.
Bush proposed solutions to the current migrant crisis, including revamping the U.S.' asylum system and retooling worker visas, as there are a plethora of unfilled jobs across the country many hard working immigrants could fill.

While California progressives see such a goal as vindication and a badge of state pride, middle America — the independents and center-left moderates in Arizona, Georgia, and even the "blue wall" of the Upper Midwest and the Rust Belt — need to be enlightened as to what the Californianization of the country would look like.
One of the best places to start is environmental policy. For the green left, in California and nationally, it is a window onto one of two things: elite disdain for the middle and working classes, or, alternatively, total elite delusion as to the devastating economic effects that many green policies would have for the quality of life and standard of living of everyday Americans.
Biden has already done much to help Republicans in their effort. By voluntarily announcing the aspiration to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030 from 2005 levels, Biden is energizing the environmental activist left while exposing a vulnerable flank of voters who pulled the not-Trump lever thinking it was also the not-Green New Deal lever. GOP activists and Senate and House campaigns need to go on the offensive right now by telling persuadable moderates what the mini-Green New Deal already looks like in California: $4 dollar gas, hundreds of dollars more in vehicle registration and registration renewal fees, a bullet train to nowhere and electric vehicles that do little more than virtue signal to the sensibilities of the climate woke wealthy. Meanwhile, a GOP which takes the interests of the middle class to heart can offer a stark choice: "environmental justice" (in the words of Biden's press release) or an affordable middle-class way of life. Voters must understand, as California demonstrates, that you don't get to have both.
