Today’s Democratic Party also has become the redoubt of a coastal, college-accredited, rich, managerial class which benefits from the global division of labor, open borders, and the refusal of Congress to legislate, leaving decision-making in the hands of technocrats.
This elite’s main concerns have become the usage of right pronouns, the insistence that — against all biological evidence — men can menstruate and become impregnated, and the farcical proposition that America is an oppressive society. Oh, and they want to call Hispanics “Latinx,” which Hispanics abhor.
The Republican Party, on the other hand, now vies to defend the interests of what the denizens of this Acela Corridor refer to as “Flyover Country” without blushing. That is, working Americans for whom President Biden’s inflation causes deep pain, for whom the division of labor has often meant the subtraction of jobs, and who can’t vote Washington bureaucrats out of office.
Among these hard-working working Americans one finds many people named Garcia, Flores, de la Cruz, and Vega, which also happen to be surnames of Cassy, Mayra, Jessica, and Yesli, four spunky candidates running for House seats in the midterms this year. The first three are from Texas, while Yesli Vega is running in a toss-up seat in Virginia. Raul Reyes, member of the USA Today Board of Contributors, huffed and puffed this week that these women are “not the real deal.” Yeah, that happened. The New York Times — after years of heaping praise on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — also haughtily referred to the four Republicans as “Far Right Latinas.” That happened, too.
