We are undergoing a political realignment in this country. For years, doom and gloom was projected onto Republicans as political prognosticators surmised that the country was turning brown while the Republican Party was white. Now, the Democratic Party is almost singularly comprised of white, rich, urban elites who have incorporated progressive litmus tests that politically moderate minorities can’t identify with. In Florida, Georgia, Texas, and other swing states, the share of minority votes Republicans earn continues to increase with every passing election cycle. If all of this wasn’t enough, Joe Biden is working overtime through Ukraine, Chicago, and East Palestine to drive these families away from the Democratic Party and into the hands of Republicans. Here’s what I mean.

Don't mistake the fact that in recent elections an increasing share of minority voters have supported Republicans for an actual conversion. Voting against a party is a real thing, meaning sometimes the enemy of my enemy is my friend in politics.
I actually embrace this trend and wish political affiliation was far more transient and based on platform and recent performance. But that means Republicans have to give people a reason to vote FOR them and not just AGAINST democrats. Parties should have to earn votes every election, not assume they have 30% by default.
It is also the rich, white, urban elites who populate public and private institutions of higher education (think “sinecures”), control the media, and dominate what today passes as the entertainment industry. Hence, wealth and disproportionate power accrue to them.
Time to say “no,” strengthen voter integrity laws, and VOTE.
