The left has not regained its semblance of reality or normalcy. One of the reasons why there's a feeling of unity in the country overall is is because the era of weird is over, the era of the normie is in. And you can sense it everywhere, from the kind of stylistic choices that were made at the inauguration to J.D. Vance and his wife, Usha, with their small children. The era of it's okay to be a normie, it's kind of good to be a normie, is back. But the problem is that the left cannot embrace this. The Democratic Party cannot embrace this.
And that's worth exploring for a moment because the most obvious thing about this current election cycle is that the Democratic Party blew it. They absolutely blew it on wokeness. Woke issues are an 80-20 issue in the country. Americans do not believe in discrimination on the basis of race. That is an 80-20 issue. They reject it. Americans do not believe that little boys are the same as little girls and that boys can be made into girls or vice versa. That's an 80-20 issue. These issues are losers for Democrats. And that does make you ask a question. Why don't the Democrats just separate off from it? Every time a Democrat tries to separate off from it, that person is immediately raked over the coals. Most obviously, this happened to Congressman Seth Moulton in Massachusetts.
who made the signal error of suggesting that boys should not play in girls' sports and then was clubbed about the ears by his entire party. Why can't they separate off from this? If it's an 80-20 issue, why is it so core for them to continue embracing it? And the answer is that wokeness is now the core philosophy of the Democratic Party. It is the core philosophy of the left. It cannot be separated from. The reality is that in a country of immense prosperity and historic wealth, the typical left-wing case, the Marxist case, that there are sort of classes and these classes are solid and impenetrable. That if you're born poor in America, you die poor in America. That if you're born rich, you die rich and your kids die rich.
That's not true. It's not been true in America ever. Ever. Alexis de Tocqueville talks about the income mobility, the wealth mobility of Americans in the 1840s. It is true today. One of the most amazing things about the people who are standing next to Donald Trump during his inauguration, those tech bros, they did not all grow up uber wealthy. The people who founded my company, I'll just speak about my company for a moment. Daily Wire was founded by three people. The best you can say is that one of us grew up lower middle class, probably. Jeremy Boring, co-founder of the company, did not graduate from college. Caleb Robinson did not even go to college. I went to Harvard Law School and I grew up in a 1300 square foot house in Burbank, California with two bedrooms, one for my parents and one for the kids, which meant four kids in one bedroom and one bathroom for all six of us until I was 11 years old.
The amount of income and wealth mobility in the United States is astonishing. That is always why it has been a land of opportunity, which means that in America, the typical Marxist case for the flattening and destruction of the free market in the name of equality does not work and has never worked for long.
