How are leftists working to re-elect Trump? There are almost too many ways to count:
1. Trump was reeling after his candidates did horrible in the 2022 midterms, and people like Ron DeSantis were soaring in the polls. Then leftists saved him by making him seem like a victim, and he began rising in the polls. Even better, they insured that the only case likely to be decided before the election is the one bogus case:
Trump faces more serious charges elsewhere, over his alleged attempts to interrupt the peaceful transition of power and retention of classified documents in the bathroom of his Mar-a-Lago mansion.
But it is the “hush money” case — revolving around allegations of a sordid, backroom deal made in the days before the 2016 election to prevent the revelation of an extramarital affair — that looks increasingly likely to be the only one to be heard by a jury of Trump’s peers ahead of November’s election.
2. Woke leftists have greatly helped Trump by promoting a completely over-the-top version of identity politics, combined with Chinese Cultural Revolution style cancel culture. Even moderate liberals are disgusted.
3. On economics, the left wing of the Democratic party has moved away from the pragmatic centrism of Clinton (and to a lesser extent Obama) and re-embraced the once discredited big government policies of the 20th century.
4. The left blames Biden for being too pro-Israel, even as Trump is far more pro-Israel. Ditto for Biden’s supposedly pro-fossil fuel policies. Trump also says and does lots of things conservatives don’t like, but that doesn’t cause conservatives to attack Trump, rather it energizes them to attack the left even more vigorously. One thing America’s right and left have in common is contempt for Biden. I also don’t like Biden, but ever heard of the concept of “the lesser of two evils”?
5. “Progressive” city officials enact weak on crime polices, as well as education policies that discourage excellence. This taints the Democratic brand.
I understand that Republicans are working hard to re-elect Trump, but none of that matters. It will be woke leftists that put Trump over the top, by delivering swing voters. I hope Trump remembers to thank them in his victory speech on election day.
