From the donkey's mouth
This is one of the few honest research reports I’ve seen from the ‘progressive’ left in years. This is a good one to share with your liberal friends and family who are bitter about the election, don’t understand why they lost and still think they have all the answers.
Democrats conducted surveys and focus groups after the election with 3 groups to find out the current view of the Democrat party from its own voters:
1. Young men in battleground states who voted for Biden in 2020 and Trump in 2024;
2. Voters in battleground states who voted for Biden in 2020 but didn’t vote at all in 2024;
3. Voters in blue states who had previously voted for Democrats, a third party candidate or didn’t vote in 2020 but voted for Trump in 2024.
What did these voters say about their own party? They said Democrats do not listen to Americans, do not support the working class & have become lazy, disingenuous, arrogant & extreme.
They've replaced competency with outrage. Duh!
"Democrats have their heads in the sand and are absolutely committed to their own ideas, even when they’re failing."
"Democrats are complacent and lazy."
"Democrats are not a friend of the working class anymore.”
“What the Democratic elites and their politicians believe is often very different from what the average Democratic voter is."
“The elites that run the Democratic Party are way too obsessed with appealing to the very far-left social progressivism that’s very popular on college campuses.”
Late deciders said that Kamala did not have good character and wasn't very smart or capable of thinking on her own:
"Kamala was inauthentic, very dishonest and did not seem competent."
"It seemed like a lot of what Kamala said wasn’t coming from her. Every time she talked about something, it was planned out and never her thoughts, didn’t seem genuine."
Late deciders said that Trump came across as more honest & caring than Kamala:
"Trump, even though you never really knew what he was going to say, when he was going to say it, it was always him and genuine to what he thought, so that’s what swayed me.”
Late deciders were concerned about Democrats being too extreme:
“I didn't agree with Kamala thinking that it’s okay for children to change their body parts.”
"I think that there needs to be some parameters on what’s accepted in society and what isn’t. Some of the societal norms, and I think that the Democrats have tried to open that [transgenderism] up a little too much."
Inflation, the cost of living and immigration were the driving issues for battleground voters and late deciders.
"Inflation is too high and I didn't understand Kamala's plan to lower it. I don't understand how tariffs work either - but like Trump said - wouldn't it be better off for America by maybe having more stuff made here?”
Voters said they were in favor of tight border security, Trump’s mass deportation plan for criminal illegals & were in favor of importing highly-skilled legal immigrants to help America thrive.
Sums it up! Remember that words like 'progressive' or 'woke' or 'globalist' are just sweeter sounding words for COMMUNIST or FASCIST or SOCIALIST NAZI totalitarianism. “Joy” was just the Democrats’ devious campaign line designed to fool people and to cover up that evil truth. It didn’t work! Praise God!
Trump has a plan to Save America and I’ve outlined it below. People are waking up to that fact! It’s worth your time to read it and absorb it. More to come!
