"The cultural issues cloud some of their reception of an argument that really is in their interest," Pelosi said.
At a San Francisco fundraiser, Obama tried to explain small-town America to wealthy donors and claimed “it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”
That became shortened to “bitterly clinging to guns and religion.”
Pelosi, SF’s finest, decided to repeat the same theme.
At one point, while speaking about those who may consider themselves a part of the populist movement and/or are “poor souls who are looking for some answers,” Pelosi said, “We’ve given to them, but they’re blocked by some of their views on guns – they have the three Gs, guns, gays, God, that would be a woman’s right to choose — and the cultural issues cloud some of their reception of an argument that really is in their interest.”
The theme keeps recurring because Democrats have to justify their rejection of the white working class in favor of elitist leftist shibboleths by insisting that they have their best interests at heart, but unfortunately ‘those people’ are too busy clinging to guns and religion to realize it.
Revealingly, Pelosi reduces religion to abortion which says a lot more about her than it does about her targets.
And that’s generally true of these critiques. Obama and Pelosi’s reductionism shows how little they care about the rest of the country and how little they understand it. They depict them as history’s losers who take refuge in religion, xenophobia, anti-globalism, and religion because they just haven’t gotten with the new order.
And what’s the new order? Bill Clinton, the last White House Dem to make any inroads with working-class whites, announced that the jobs aren’t coming back and it’s time for everyone to go to college and get woke.
After that, the Dems have lost the ability to win over working-class white voters and they’re starting to lose their grip on working-class voters of all races.
