For all the noise about progress and justice, one group has recently been left behind by the Democratic Party: the middle class.
These are the people who clock in every day, pay the bills, raise their families, and keep the wheels of this country turning. They are the backbone of America, yet their concerns are ignored while the loudest voices on the fringe receive the spotlight.
Across Democrat-led cities and states, policies lean toward protecting criminals and illegal immigrants under the banner of “sanctuary.”
Meanwhile, everyday citizens face rising crime rates, homeless encampments in public spaces, random assaults on the street, businesses robbed in broad daylight, and career criminals emboldened by lax enforcement.
The people paying the price are the same citizens who ask for nothing more than safety in their neighborhoods and cities.
Instead of tackling the growing mental health crisis with serious investment in treatment and prevention, Democrats have elevated it into culture-war theater.
Those struggling are paraded as symbols for social movements, special bathrooms, hormone blockers for minors, and the glamorization of celebrity trends that trickle down to the most impressionable. This is not compassion; it’s exploitation.
And what else do Democrats offer? A single theme: Donald Trump. He is painted as Hitler, his supporters labeled fascists. The drumbeat is relentless, every day, every hour, every headline.
But where are the real proposals? Where are the policies that improve daily life for the working family, the small business owner, the taxpayer who quietly carries the load?
For years now, Democrats have leaned on race as their permanent fallback. Whenever policy fails, whenever results are thin, they inject race into the conversation.
They pit neighbor against neighbor, citizen against citizen, convincing people that division is destiny. Rather than working to heal wounds, they reopen them for political gain, because a divided population is easier to control.
They don’t address crime, homelessness, or the collapse of basic city services. They don’t bring forth policies that strengthen the working class. Instead, they stoke anger, telling one group it is forever oppressed and another that it is forever guilty. This is not leadership; it’s manipulation dressed up as compassion.
While the wealthy enjoy their elite parties and the poor are courted with free programs, the middle class shoulders the cost. They are the ones subsidizing a system that rarely gives back. Their hard work funds the rhetoric but rarely sees results. They are the invisible foundation, overlooked and taken for granted.
You might not agree with Donald Trump or even like him, but he is following through on the promises he made, and much of what he is doing resonates with a majority of citizens.
Agreement or disagreement aside, his agenda reflects what many Americans feel has been ignored for too long.
The Democratic Party has had years to show the middle class they matter. Instead, what we’ve seen is a cocktail of cultural distractions, sanctuary policies that protect criminals, and endless propaganda about Trump.
