Donald J. Trump has reclaimed the presidency in a manner that can only be described as a political smackdown of epic proportions. Kamala Harris, the designated contender for the Democrats, was dispatched with such force in the 2024 election that it has been likened to watching a piñata filled with liberal dreams get pulverized by the righteous indignation of the American working class. The so-called red wave of 2022 has officially morphed into a tsunami, with suburban white women and Hispanic voters making it abundantly clear that Democrats have lost touch.
For the Democrats, this election serves as a wake-up call louder than a factory whistle at the crack of dawn. They can no longer cling to their outdated notion that open borders and cushy amnesty policies resonate with the very voters they once took for granted. The average American is fed up with the elitism emanating from the Democratic Party, which now looks like a group of alien life forms trying to communicate with the working-class masses. CNN may drown in a sea of liberal tears, but the hard data reveals a party that has strategically alienated its former base.
When one looks at the electoral demographics, it’s painfully obvious that the Democrats are attempting to win the political chess match armed with nothing but a small collection of college-educated white women and some urban voters. Such a strategy is as effective as trying to win at rock-paper-scissors by only using paper. With most Americans lacking college degrees, Democrats have made the mistake of equating education with value. Little do they realize that their “I’m smarter than you” rhetoric has turned average citizens away faster than a tax collector at a yard sale.
It's No Mystery What Caused Kamala to Get Walloped By Trumphttps://t.co/R1fcDWOjUx

The insults hurled by self-styled intellectuals who flaunt their degrees as badges of honor have finally begun to backfire. The working-class population, increasingly fed up with lectures from these edu-snobs, isn’t buying the sanctimonious rhetoric anymore. Voters have become tired of the highbrow attitude that implies those without higher degrees are somehow less worthy of consideration. Meanwhile, the blue-haired cadre of liberal elites continues to scramble for relevance, often appearing more like caricatures than representatives of the people.
In an ironic twist, the Harris campaign’s attempts to paint Trump as an existential threat fell flat. Their dire warnings about Trump’s supposed plans to crush democracy did little to ignite passion among voters—the more they cried “wolf,” the more disinterested the electorate became. Polling results indicated that messages rooted in economic populism were far more appealing than alarmist tales of impending doom. The disconnect between what Harris and her team believe is motivating voters and what actually resonates with them is stark. It’s as if they were trying to sell ice to Eskimos while ignoring that they’d run out of transportation to deliver it.
The outcome of this election wasn’t merely a loss for the Democrats—it was a severe beatdown that served notice to the political elite. Much like the previous debacle of 2016, the Democrats failed to read the room yet again. Trump’s victory was further magnified as the GOP not only held onto the House, but also reclaimed the Senate, reinforcing the notion that the working class is more than willing to wield their sledgehammers, striking down the establishment that has long taken them for granted. As the Democrats continue to reel, it remains to be seen whether they will examine their egos and start acknowledging what the people really want, or if they will continue to drown in self-righteousness and arrogance.
