CO: FBI investigates attack targeting Jewish gathering in Colorado, injuring six » Washington Post

"Just when it seemed the Democratic Party’s troubles couldn’t get any bleaker, a new report has unveiled the extent of America’s political realignment since the 2016 election. According to New York Times journalist Shane Goldmacher, there are over 1,400 “triple-trending” Trump counties out of a total of 3,144, compared to a mere 57 for Democrats. Even worse, nearly all counties in which Trump has continuously improved his margin have a median household income below $80,000. Democratic presidential nominees, by contrast, have mostly seen gains in affluent and rich counties that tend to be whiter. Their party, in other words, has not only hemorrhaged culturally conservative blue-collar whites, as part of a seemingly irreversible trend stretching back to Richard Nixon’s courtship. Democrats are now unambiguously in the hole with working-class voters overall."

The Liberal Patriot's Justin Vassallo

A new report reveals a stark political realignment since 2016, showing Democrats losing ground with working-class voters—especially in lower-income Trump-trending counties—while gaining mostly in wealthier, whiter areas.
