The great re alignment of the political parties is virtually complete. deleted

The great realignment is over.
The Republicans are now the working-class party while the Democrats are the party of the political establishment.
President Trump campaigned to protect the working class from bad trade deals, illegal immigration and endless wars in 2016.
He hasn’t achieved all of his goals because realigning the parties takes time. And Washington has proven to be a tough customer.
Hillary Clinton campaigned and now Joe Biden campaigns to protect the political class, protect illegal immigration, protect global trade with China and to maintain our entangling alliances that often plunge our armed forces into far-flung places.
Trump made an audacious play for Black working-class voters by signing criminal justice reform, showing compassion for African-Americans who were unfairly caught in the prison system and enacting policies that put Black Americans back to work in record numbers.
Joe Biden has been caught flat-footed and is forced to align himself with Black Lives Matter elites who promote socialism, condone violent protest and promote racial separatism. For the man who previously championed tougher anti-crime provisions that put many Black men in prison, this is not an easy transition.
Trump rightly sees China as the biggest threat to working class America. He sees the shuttered factories, the lost jobs, the misery that has spread across the vast middle of America and wants to do something about it. He calls out China for their role in spreading the worst pandemic in history, using graphic but descriptive language that offends the business and political elite that like to do business there.
According to intelligence agencies, Joe Biden is China’s preferred candidate. That comes as no surprise. He and his family have a long history of doing business there. He thinks trade with China is good for America, supported permanent normal trade relations, and says things like “come on, man, China is not an economic threat to America.” Tell that to the working-class party, Joe.
When it comes to pandemic, Trump has been realistic. The cure can’t be worse than the disease. We need to open up the country up as soon as possible, we need kids to go back to school, we need to get back to business. Biden, mirroring the desires of the ruling class, wants to keep the people in a state of panic because that allows the politicians to exert even more control over the private sector.
For working Americans, those who can’t afford to rent a camper and travel the country for a year, more lockdowns are deadly. Trump is with those who want to move on.
It comes as no surprise that the political elite has closed ranks behind the Biden campaign. Political strategists on both sides of the aisle are now working overtime to stop Donald Trump and his working-class party.
Trump has an annoying habit of trying to keep his promises. The political establishment party doesn’t like that, because if we solved all of our nation’s problems, what would we run our next campaign on?
Trump is the outsider’s outsider. He came into government having no clue about the vast scope, power and expense of the federal bureaucracy. He didn’t fully understand how much work it takes to tame the bureaucrats, how careful you have to be in public and private utterances, how words can be taken out of context and how brutal the infighting can be, even among your closest friends and allies.
But being an outsider is no vice in the working-class party. The political establishment has spent years making false promises, promoting polices that have consistently helped globalization but have hurt local businesses and enriching themselves at the expense of the rest of the country. Working class Americans of all colors and creeds are tired of the political games of the political establishment and they are more than willing to give Donald Trump four more years to finish the job of making America great again.

trumpturd has been a goddamned killer when it comes to Co-Vid 19. It's his fault that things are the way they are now.
" Trump has an annoying habit of trying to keep his promises. The political establishment party doesn’t like that, because if we solved all of our nation’s problems, what would we run our next campaign on?"
If nothing had actually been done by Trump the death toll would be in the 1,000,000 to 2,500,000 range.
Freedom Float turns Lake Shasta red, white and blue
Starting about noon, several hundred boaters or more motored from underneath the Pit River Bridge near Bridge Bay Resort in a procession to Shasta Dam and back.
Machelle Sanders Ascherin, listed as the event's host on Facebook, told boaters to "launch wherever you want."

"Support our brave first responders, our country, our president ... and fly a flag for our beautiful country and the brave people in it!!," the event's Facebook page said.
The freedom flotilla attracted all sorts of vessels, from personal watercraft to houseboats.

"Quite a sight," said one woman watching from shore.
Many boats flew American flags and banners supporting President Trump. Families packed many of the boats, which cut through the water under sunny but hazy skies due to Northern California wildfires.
Dozens of people, some with American flags, went to Shasta Dam to watch the decorated boats from afar.

Meanwhile, Redding was represented Saturday at another rally, this time in Rocklin, where a MAGA Drag the Interstate event was held.
A number of cars left Shasta High School on Saturday morning en route down Interstate 5.
"There were so many cars as far as the eye could see (in Rocklin)," said Vony King Rhaburn Ackley, who organized the Redding contingent. "The rally was spectacular.
After the meetup in Rocklin, Ackley said "patriots" and Trump supporters drove to the Tower Bridge in Sacramento where a boat rally was held.
"It was fabulous," she said.
Ackley said the MAGA Drag the Interstate was a nationwide event.

We working people celebrate our great President!
I hope that your boaters are better than these dumb asses in Texas are.
Multiple boats sink at Trump boat parade on Texas' Lake Travis
You know Shasta Lake well enough. Boating is in the blood of many around here. This being the final weekend of summer tourist season on the lake meant that a lot of people visiting and or house boating from points south got to see it. Visitors to Shasta Dam got to see it too. For those without a boat there was the MAGA Drag the Interstate event from Redding to Rocklin to Sacramento.
Reading these testimonials is like watching the Republic convention. Trump is a hero godlike being that never lies cheats and steals. It is bizarro world stuff. It brings a whole new level to the term WHITEwash.
We had an awesome convention compared to the anti America hate fest in Milwaukee and Delaware the prior week!
Working class party my arse. Supply Side ate them for lunch and Citizens United ripped out their tongues. Bankers and Hedge Fund critters own the working class here fore known as American Sucker Chattel for the GOP.
The people you refer to as bankers and hedge fund managers are democrats. They are the ones Obama catered to during his presidency as did Bush 43, Clinton, Bush41. The bankers, hedge fund managers, and globalist big business still in the GOP are part of the Lincoln Project now and they support Biden.
Sexual misconduct?
What does that issue have to do with either the seeded article or the thread you started with #4?
Uh, Trump.
Uh, Trump rejected the establishment to side with the working class and the middle class. He put America and the American middle and working class first and defended the heartland of America against the predators of the Bi coastal urban elite establishment class.
“The Republicans are now the working-class party while the Democrats are the party of the political establishment.”
only because of trump. Before trump there was very little difference between dems and repubs regarding the working man and woman. I have yet to get an answer on how open borders and allowing any and every one into the country, offering them free health care and free college helps the working class.
They can’t answer that because all that was designed to lure in enough of these low skill workers needing such benefits to displace the working class with lower cost labor in industries that can’t be moved to China.
Isn’t it great to have a biased secular progressive censor to delete comments without explanation that are the view point of the conservative seeder regarding the seeded article in seeders comments.
I don't see any deleted comments. The rest of your word salad is cumbersome to read and ultimately boring. Not sorry.
It was where I said that the GOP is largely made up of the middle and working classes primarily of the heartland or flyover parts while the democrats are mostly of the not working class, the permanent poor, and the very rich, the elites, the banker hedge fund, huge corporate types based primarily on the bi coastal urban areas.
Great news for the working and middle class!
US employers hire 1.4M in August as unemployment rate falls sharply
Economists surveyed by Refinitiv expected the report to show that unemployment dropped to 9.8%
The most in demand jobs
LinkedIn data shows the most in demand jobs right now. Andrew Seaman of LinkedIn weighs in.
The U.S. economy added 1.4 million jobs in August as the unemployment rate unexpectedly tumbled, indicating the nation's labor market is continuing a slow, but steady, recovery from the coronavirus pandemic.
The Labor Department's payroll report released Friday showed the jobless rate fell sharply to 8.4%, down from 10.2% in June and a peak of 14.7% in April. It marks the first time since March that unemployment is below 10%.
Economists surveyed by Refinitiv expected the report to show that unemployment dropped to 9.8% and the economy added 1.4 million jobs. It's well below the combined 7.5 million jobs added in May and June before hiring cooled in July, with 1.9 million added.
TRUMP'S UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFIT MAY ONLY LAST 3 WEEKS
“We are still moving in the right direction and the pace of the jobs recovery seems to have picked up, but it still looks like it will take a while – and likely a vaccine – before we get back close to where we were at the beginning of this year,” said Tony Bedikian, head of global markets at Citizens Bank. “We continue to be optimistic that the economy has turned a corner and that we’ll continue to see steady progress.”...
Government hiring helped boost the figure, with employment increasing by 344,000 in August -- accounting for one-fourth of the total gains. The increase stemmed largely from the federal government's hiring of 238,000 temporary Census workers. Despite fears about budget shortfalls, local governments hired 95,000 employees last month.
Other notable gains came from retail, which added 249,000 new jobs, and professional and business services, which jumped by 197,000. Leisure and hospitality, the hardest-hit sector during the pandemic, increased by 174,000 positions, a majority of which stemmed from bars and restaurants.
JOB GROWTH OVER NEXT DECADE EXPECTED TO BE SLOWER THAN AFTER 2008 CRISIS
Education and health services jumped by at 147,000, and transportation rose by 78,000. Financial activities increased by 36,000, manufacturing rose by 29,000 and wholesale trade was up by 14,000.
The number of Americans on furloughed also plunged: 24.2 million people who said they not working because their employer either closed or lost business as a result of COVID-19, down from 31.3 million in July.i
Over the past four months, the economy has added back about half of the 22 million jobs it lost during the pandemic, data show. There are still 11.5 million more out-of-work Americans than in February....
