They were always elitists -- they just became unafraid to say so since Obama, and gay marriage, and transgenderism, and covid.
They decided to go Full Leroy Jenkins. They divide the world into the Elite and the Deplorables, and they're all done condescending to the Depolorables.
Instead, they're telling the Deplorables that they're wrong, they're morally repugnant, and their advice and consent are no longer needed nor even wanted.
CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten said on Friday morning he was shocked when seeing how much the American public believes the Republican Party cares about them, even in the wake of President Donald Trump's tariff salvo.
During "CNN News Central," Enten pulled up new aggregate poll numbers showing that Americans currently believe that Republicans care about U.S. citizens as much as Democratic Party figures do, a poll that has historically favored the Democrats.
"This, to me, is one of the most shocking pieces of poll data that I truly, truthfully have seen this year, or maybe in any prior year," he said, noting elsewhere how unexpected these numbers are after Trump unveiled his controversial tariffs earlier this month.
CNN's chief data analyst Harry Enten marveled at polling showing Americans' positive view of the GOP even after President Trump launched his tariff war.
Enten displayed poll numbers showing that in the three previous decades, the Democratic Party smashed the GOP in the category of which party is believed to care more about Americans. In 1994, the party had a +19 majority over the GOP; in 2005, a+23; and in 2017, a +13.
The post-tariffs numbers in that category -- taken from a Quinnipiac poll -- showed a tie between the two parties.
"And why is that so surprising? Because I want you to take a look at prior years -- Democrats always lead on this question," Enten said.
"And now all of a sudden, a tie?," he continued. "All of a sudden, the Democrats, who were the party of the people. No more! No more! We get a tie on this question, on a question that has traditionally overwhelmingly been a Democratic advantage... It's truly something I would not have expected to see, especially after this tariff war had begun."
Anchor Kate Bolduan asked the data reporter with which demographic group the Republican Party has been making the most gains. Enten moved to a new graph which showed polling done on college-educated and non-college-educated voters in 2017 and today.
"Among those with a college degree, it's the same score -- plus 18 points for Democrats in 2017, plus 18 points for Democrats now. But look among non-college voters. Look here. It was plus seven for Democrats in 2017. And now Republicans have overwhelmingly gained plus nine points."
Enten stated that the pro-GOP swing represented the party's gains among the "working class."
What the public sees is Trump trying to help American workers.
Meanwhile, all the Democrats can do is shriek that their rich bitch AWFL voter corps lost some money in their retirement funds (for a couple of days) and that we're hurting foreign economies.

Sourpuss Kate Bouldin is sad:
Tim Dillon and Megyn Kelly just spoke about how Democrats and Republicans "changed places" vis a vis the working class in the past ten years. Dillon says that while Republicans are trying to lower the tax burden on workers and protect them against foreign imports and displacement by illegal aliens, the Democrats' method of showing they care about the people is "giving you a Trans Batman."
