Surely it’s the Republicans, who now represent the middle and working classes. And a growing number of minorities as the recent election showed. Black, Latino and LGBTQ vote for the GOP doubled, to the highest for sixty years. While the Dems are the party of high-tech billionaires and Wall Street. How can they be in any sense progressive, unless you count rewriting history, pushing Critical Race Theory, obsession with race and identity politics, the whole Woke, cancel culture agenda, and a deep contempt for for anyone in flyover country, as progressive? They are the party of the rich. The Establishment. Who vote open borders because they like the cheap labour.
It’s a complete inversion from how things were in my youth. Perhaps even more recent than that. But it seems like this is where we are now. Even the New York Times, via David Brooks, is saying something similar:
“The image of a future GOP is emerging — of a multiracial working class party”.
In my day, that was Labor (Oz) or Labour (UK) or Democrat. Today, in the US, it’s Republican. In the UK it’s the Tories, for all that Boris it’s screwing the lives of working folk with his ill advised lockdowns.
