The divisions between the parties, their voters, and their candidates, are enormous

The Democrats find themselves in an interesting position. Interesting in many ways. They have complete control over the news media, the administrative state, Hollywood, social media, corporate America, and so on and so forth. And yet the two leaders of their party are Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, both of whom struggle to form a coherent sentence, much less inspire confidence in their followers.

Kamala Harris' parents were both college professors. Pete Buttigieg's parents were also both professors. Elizabeth Warren IS a professor. Bernie Sanders says that he was bored by his studies, but his wife has a bachelor's degree in Social Work from Goddard College, and a doctorate in Leadership Studies from Union Institute & University. She was a community organizer and college president. Bernie’s older brother is a professor and a member of the Green Party who has run for president twice. Academia has a well-deserved reputation as a Democrat indoctrination center.

Cory Booker is somewhat unusual in that both his parents were IBM executives. Gretchen Whitmer is more typical, with parents who were both attorneys who also worked in politics. Gavin Newsom’s father was a judge and an attorney for Getty Oil. Gavin struggled in school due to dyslexia – he was in remedial reading classes – and he still prefers audio books etc., so he did not pursue an academic career.

Democrat leaders tend to come from academia, law, and politics.

Donald Trump’s mother was an Irish immigrant who worked as a domestic servant until she married Fred Trump, who was taking classes in carpentry, etc. at night while working as a builder during the day. He became a very successful real estate developer, but he never attended college. JD Vance’s father left when Vance was a toddler. JD was raised largely by his grandparents due to his mother’s drug addiction. JD worked hard and was a brilliant student, but his family was poor and didn't typically attend college.

Neither Trump nor Vance had parents who attended college.

Both Donald Trump and JD Vance have earned enormous amounts of money in extremely competitive fields – commercial real estate and venture capital, respectively. The Democrat candidates I list above have no notable achievements in the private sector.

The Democrats are the party of the highly educated elite, working in academia, law, and politics. The Republicans are the party of the hard working middle class, working mostly at building and maintaining things. And their respective candidates support that assertion.

There is a reason that our politics are so incredibly polarized right now. And I think it's likely to get worse before it gets worse.

Presuming we can’t ban mail-in ballots in the next four months, the Democrat candidate, whoever it is, is likely to win.

If our middle class ever begins to suspect that it is helpless against an untouchable elite, the social unrest could be significant.

I really don’t like our politics right now. This could go very badly...
