Liberals continue to showcase their unique brand of humor, particularly when their preferred narrative doesn’t go according to plan. Instead of reassessing their approach, they fall back on a dizzying array of absurd talking points. When Republicans achieve electoral success, the prevailing wisdom from the left is that this is merely a symptom of a deeply flawed and uneducated populace. They are quick to declare that such victories are detrimental to democracy itself, which is a remarkable stance for a party that is known for weaponizing federal institutions against its political rivals.
Observing the rising support among Black and Latino voters for Donald Trump has sent many on the left into a tailspin. Historical polling data suggests that Trump could be on track to achieve the best results from these groups since the days of Nixon. But in an effort to cope with this developing trend, the elite liberal media has begun to smear these voters, insinuating that they lack the intelligence to make informed choices. This particularly condescending viewpoint was highlighted by a writer for The Atlantic, who argued that a college degree largely determines political ideology. This is a startling miscalculation, given that most Americans do not hold college diplomas, and it is working-class voters who have historically kept the Democratic Party afloat.

The ivory tower this liberal class inhabits has clearly blinded them to the shifting sentiments among these voters. It seems they have forgotten that many individuals in this country do not fit into their cookie-cutter political mold. Traditional working-class support for the Democrats is dwindling, thanks in part to the dismissive attitude of liberal elites who undervalue the opinions of those who don’t measure up to their self-defined standards of educational or intellectual superiority.
The irony here is palpable. Despite their significant educational achievements, liberal thinkers often fail to connect with ordinary Americans, opting instead for hyper-progressive views that stray far from the common-sense solutions everyday people seek. The condescension is thick, with a narrative that essentially implies “vote for us or you’re foolish.” This approach hardly strikes one as effective salesmanship.
At its core, the shift in voting patterns among working-class communities demonstrates deep dissatisfaction with being mocked, dismissed, and lectured by the urban elite. Many are turning to the GOP in part to express their frustration not only with political leaders but also with the arrogance of an academic class that appears to operate in a bubble, seemingly detached from the realities of everyday life. Those disillusioned former Democrats are not just switching parties; they are sending a clear and resounding message to the so-called experts – enough is enough.
