Tim Walz doesn't understand Donald Trump's middle-class appeal

If you read this article, you'll quickly notice identity politics' fatal flaw. Tim Walz still hasn't figured out why he and Kamala Harris got crushed by President-Elect Trump and Vice President-Elect J.D. Vance. In the spirit of bipartisanship, this might help. In the article, Walz is quoted as saying "I thought it was a real flex when the Wall Street Journal pointed out that I might have been the least wealthy person to ever run for vice president. How in the world did we lose to a billionaire or a venture capitalist, when we were making the case of a country attorney and a high school teacher?"

This isn't complicated. Being a teacher means nothing to people. Being an attorney, by itself, means nothing. There's no disputing that teachers are part of the middle class. Still, they're also out of touch with the middle-class. Teachers kept schools closed during the COVID shutdown by pressuring the Biden administration to keep them closed. Further, Kamala Harris, the person at the top of the ticket, is a San Francisco liberal. That screams 'out of touch.'

This year, people voted against both VP Harris and Gov. Walz. This is one of VP Harris's typical word salads:

Who'd vote for someone who talks like that? I didn't. Here's the key:

Walz made the point that he thought his more humble economic status should have appealed to voters, and seemed puzzled that wasn’t the case. "And I thought that would be something people say, ‘Well, this guy knows where we’re coming from. He’s had to pay his bills and still does,'" he said, referring to himself.

Earlier in the discussion, Walz stated, "And this is the one that keeps me up at night, is I focused my whole career in focusing on the middle class… And it seemed like a lot of good ideas were coming from the Democrats."

The ideas "coming from the Democrats" make government more intrusive, less accountable and less innovative. Why would people think that the Democrats' ideas are more innovative than President-Elect Trump's or Elon Musk's? This election was about solutions, not ideology. The Democrats' ideas focused on spending more money. That isn't a solution. Further, people found out how radical Gov. Walz was.

In 2023, Minnesota went wild with the Trifecta. They passed tons of controversial legislation. Gov. Walz signed all of those controversial bills into law. He signed the Blackout Bill, which, Democrats hope, will require EVs. EVs are super-expensive, which is why nobody wants them. Gov. Walz signed a bill repealing Minnesota's version of the Born Alive Infant Protection Act. I call it the Infanticide Act.

Gov. Walz is still living in 2023. He still thinks we're a far-left nation. On November 5, the nation told Democrats that we're a center-right nation. He doesn't understand President-Elect Trump's appeal. Here's Megyn Kelly's explanation of Trump's appeal:

Trump has lived life in the real world, talking to heavy equipment operators, electricians and plumbers. He's talked with world leaders, too. Scranton Joe hasn't done that. Gov. Walz hasn't done that, either. A job title only tells part of the story. If you want the total picture, you'd better do a deep dive, find out what's just beneath the surface.

Finally, Gov. Walz talks about how he's a teacher from a middle-class background. Teachers are the ones who often live their lives in a faculty lounge echochamber, oftne oblivious to the world around them. Billionaire contractors are talking to new people all the time. That's why people find Trump interesting. That's why people find Walz as plain as milquetoast.
