In place of policies favoring job growth the Democrats embraced identity
politics and pro-immigration ""reform."" They were betting that by creating a
new constituency of voters who were previously disfavored they could make up
for their losses among the dwindling population of average American workers or
the ""deplorables"" whose interests they betrayed. Their mistake was to
categorize or to think of segments of the population as a rigidly defined
voting bloc with incompatible interests instead of as a melting pot in which
jobs were the greatest goal and all were willing to forsake their previous
identities in search of success and economic prosperity. For ""hope"" the Dems
substituted entitlement. For social ""change"" they substituted rigid group
identity which caused bitter resentment by those who felt left out. In America
jobs are the great leavening and leveling factor which brings everyone
together. As a result, even the identity groups the Dems were counting on in
the last election did not even show up at the polls because they do not define
themselves according to the preconceptions of calculating politicians but go
their own way in search of the American dream.
