Why the Working Class Hates the Democrats
CPAC Florida 2022
In this series of speeches, Mike Wilkerson, JD Vance, Eric Bolling, Will Hild, and T.W. Shannon answer the question, “Why does the working class hate the Democrats?”
Mike Wilkerson posits that the working class hates the Democrats because the Democrats hate the working class. The Democrats’ policies of exporting their manufacturing jobs to China, their energy sector jobs to Russia and OPEC, and created an unsecured border allowing criminals to threaten the safety of American communities. He points out the public relations assault Democrats have also launched on the working class and those who share their values. Democrats have labelled them domestic terrorists and threatened their safety and security. The modern Democrat party is a departure from its founding by Andrew Jackson and history as a representative of the working class. The Democrats today have betrayed the working class, and in fact shown disdain for it.
JD Vance draws from his personal experience growing up in an Ohio steel town to offer his answer to the titular question. He suggests that the Democrats have shown more concern for illegal immigrants coming across the southern border than for the citizens of their own country. Their so-called compassionate policies on the border and toward illegal immigrants have brought human trafficking and drug epidemics on the citizens of America. Vance very personally knows the costs of drug addiction and overdoses and so feels strongly about protecting Americans from the dangerous fentanyl coming across the border. He believes in giving American citizens priority for welfare and economic help over illegal aliens.
Next, Eric Bolling elaborates on the Democrats’ energy policies that have hurt the working class. He explains how certain technology allows American oil purchasers to continue to buy oil from embargoed countries undercutting American producers of oil. Biden’s policies of purchasing oil from Russia and OPEC has been especially detrimental to the American working class. It has taken jobs from the domestic energy sector and driven up gas prices, making this everyday necessity more and more expensive for working class Americans.
Will Hild, with Consumer’s Research, takes on corporate America’s abandonment of the interests and values of average Americans. Hild exposes the numerous corporations, like Black Rock and Exxon, lobbying for Leftist policies, imposing woke policies on the corporation, and aid Chinese interests with Americans’ own money. Hild promises that he will fight for and represent the American consumer’s interests with his company against the large, woke corporations who have altogether betrayed the American consumer.
Lastly, the former speaker of the Oklahoma House of Representatives, T.W. Shannon, speaks on the Democrats’ efforts to silence and cancel the backbone of the country. Shannon calls out the inconsistency of rhino Republicans who have only contributed to the oppression of conservatives. He also responds to accusations that conservatives are racist, arguing that Democrats are doing more to destroy black communities with defund the police movements and BLM and to kill black babies with abortion. Shannon believes that Democrats fear African Americans like himself who know history and the strategies of the Democrat and who are seeking to undermine Democrat policies that are keeping down the African American community.
