The American people rejected the wokeness on Tuesday. The Democratic Party lost the presidency — and possibly the popular vote. The Democrats also lost the Senate and may stay in the minority in the House of Representatives.
President-elect Donald Trump’s victory over Vice President Kamala Harris and other Republican triumphs over Democrats nationwide should surprise no one. The Democrats are more interested in advancing their woke ideology than addressing the desires of voters. Predictably, their message failed to resonate.
On gender issues, many Democrats can’t even tell you what a woman is, including President Joe Biden’s Supreme Court pick, Kentanji Brown Jackson. Democrats also think there are more than two genders, a view rejected by about three-fourths of the country, yet the Biden administration lets people who identify as nonbinary obtain Gender X passports.
Democrats support males competing in girls and women’s sports despite males repeatedly winning awards and state championships and injuring competitors when competing against the opposite sex. Nearly 70% oppose letting males compete in women’s sports, but just about every Democrat in Congress supports it. Democrats such as vice presidential nominee Tim Walz support putting tampons in men’s bathrooms, even though men do not get periods for obvious reasons.
On racial issues, Democrats also expressed outrage in 2023 when the Supreme Court determined that one’s race should not be a determining factor for which colleges one can attend. Harris called the decision meant to combat racial discrimination “a step backward” in a statement released by the White House at the time. This discrimination hurt Asian and white students, disproportionately benefitted wealthy African and Caribbean immigrants, and often set underqualified students up for failure.
On border security, Harris and the Democrats sabotaged themselves by pandering to illegal immigrants. Harris supported decriminalizing border crossings and providing illegal immigrants with free healthcare during her 2020 Democratic primary presidential bid. She also likened Immigration and Customs Enforcement to the Ku Klux Klan in 2018, arguing that they both harass minorities.

Democrats such as Walz also found ways to make blue states magnets for illegal immigrants by providing them with free college tuition and free health insurance paid for by the taxpayer. On top of that, Walz made illegal immigrants eligible for Minnesota driver’s licenses. And Democrats do this all while opposing E-Verify and efforts to ban non-citizens from the voter rolls.
Maybe if Democrats embraced common sense on these social issues rather than appealing to the fringes of society, they would experience more electoral success. We don’t live in a hard-left country, and it’s about time Democrats recognized this reality.
