CNN’s Fareed Zakaria BLASTS The Democrat party’s alienation of “risk seeking young men,” while Trump builds a majority coalition:

"Democrats now say that they need their own
@elonmusk
and Joe Rogan — except that they had them in Elon Musk and Joe Rogan."

Democrats would do well to listen to this:

"This is not an endorsement of either Rogan or Musk, who are strange characters and have gone on their own complicated political journeys. But it is a critique of policies that have needlessly alienated many young, aspirational voters who identify with the idea of risk taking disruption and new technologies. Politics is a game of addition, and rather than growing their base, the Democrats are subtracting from it."

"While Donald Trump is expanding his fans, if Trump is able to maintain or expand support among young Hispanic and Asian men, and perhaps even bring young black men into the fold he will have created for Republicans what has so far eluded them."

"A working MAGA majority coalition, the Democratic Party, has become a party of urban educated middle and upper middle class voters allied with minorities and young people."

"Virtually the only major group with which Kamala Harris gained vote share in the last election was white, college educated voters."

"And yet the party remains deeply uncomfortable with its new base still pining for its old working class roots."

"And so it turns on business technologists, risk seeking young men who, after a while having begun to notice that the party doesn't like them, are now returning the favor."
