What happened to the Democrats?
There’s only one way such a deeply arrogant and out-of-touch party can continue to win elections.

Michael Goodwin, writing at the New York Post, made a claim remarkable for its simple clarity: “The Democratic Party We Once Knew Is Dead.” You and I can readily agree with Goodwin, but the party is certainly not dead and gone. What has it become?
Victor Davis Hanson provides the answer:
There is no Democratic Party. There’s a Socialist Party. But it’s a very weird Socialist Party. It’s a ... [pyramid] with a lot of very wealthy, globalized elites that run things at the top. Nothing in the middle of the pyramid. And then an expansive big base of poor people, of immigrants.
The Democrats, Hanson explains, no longer champion their traditional constituency, those whom he refers to as “the white middle working class.” As a result of abandoning their traditional source of political power, “the Democrats can’t win elections with open, transparent balloting, one-day balloting, and they know it.” Consequently, the Democrats are going all out in their opposition to any and all election integrity measures and all out in championing the new constituency they are banking on: immigrants and (especially) illegal aliens.
America now has the largest number of residents not born in America in all of American history. Hanson puts the number at 53 million, which is likely correct, but the Democrats already no longer need to compete with Republicans for the votes of the American middle, the middle that once upon a time decided the outcome of elections in America. Thanks to mail-in balloting and a voting system that is non-transparent to a truly astonishing degree, even the homeless are being used by the Democrats to determine election outcomes. For example, fraudsters have been caught on camera paying “homeless people to forge names, forge addresses and forge signatures of registered voters.”
