Ladies and gentlemen, let’s break down the seismic shift in American politics that pollster Frank Luntz noticed at the GOP convention. He tweeted, “A stage filled with hardworking taxpayers, African-Americans, working women, union members, and delegates dancing in the aisles. Speeches bashing Corporate America and the status quo.”
Luntz added, “We witnessed the realignment of American politics, Trump-style.” And boy, did that leave the liberal media floundering.
Last night, voters saw a Republican Party that they (and I) have never seen before.

The liberal media’s reaction? Unseemly and condescending. They’re channeling their urge to lecture and criticize, which is precisely why many Americans, especially young men, are running from the Democratic Party. No one likes being nagged. Liberal America is packed with whiny, woke warriors who think enjoying football and burgers is somehow evil. These Americans are sick of being called racist for the most mundane activities by this chardonnay-sipping brigade.
The liberal media’s desperation is pathetically transparent. When everyday Americans deliver heartfelt speeches about how life under Biden has become unbearable, the media interrupts with fact-checks. On night two, the big theme was the rise of crime under Biden, committed by citizens and illegal aliens alike. ABC News tried to spin that crime is down. No, folks, reporting on crime is down because the numbers would destroy the Left’s soft-on-crime narrative.

One particularly disturbing event was MSNBC’s Chris Hayes mocking the speeches, including one from the family of Rachel Morin, who was raped and murdered by an illegal alien last August in Maryland. Host Joy Reid even chuckled, showing just how out of touch they are. MSNBC’s elite don’t speak to real people. They mingle with the same snobby, over-educated left-wingers who wouldn’t know a hard day’s work if it hit them. That’s why Donald Trump is on track to beat Joe Biden.

On PBS, any talk about crime by illegal aliens was immediately branded as racism. No surprise there.
Amna Nawaz: “We have seen though…Republican rhetoric veer into outright racism, echoing some white supremacist notions as well. Do you think that will be avoided here tonight?”

Then we have MSNBC’s Ari Melber, who was baffled by Trump’s ear bandage. Perhaps he missed the memo that Trump’s ear was grazed by a bullet during the July 13 assassination attempt. Melber’s confusion highlighted a fundamental misunderstanding: politics is theater. It’s entertainment. It’s always been a show, especially in modern campaigning. He could only cope by saying this wasn’t a normal convention—whatever that means.
@AriMelber – His head was nearly blown off by a millimeter, instead the bullet took a chunk of his ear off, and you’re calling this a prop?
Just the kind of unhinged POV as Joy Reid, Nicolle Wallace and the petulant morning show hosts on your network.
You’re now also a joke. https://t.co/8TYncy20BE

So here we are, folks. The GOP is shaking things up, and the liberal media is scrambling to keep up, resorting to their usual playbook of condescension and confusion. It’s no wonder Trump’s support is surging.
