Springsteen Won’t Save Kamala With The Working Class
October 24, 2024
Tonight, Barack Hussein Obama and Bruce Springsteen will take the stage alongside Kamala Harris in Georgia — a desperate, last-ditch effort to salvage her spiraling campaign.
Relying on celebrities is nothing new for the party of Hollywood elites — and as voters realize the depths of Kamala's incompetence and radicalism, she needs an added draw. But it's certainly an indication of just how far out of touch Democrats are with the working class.
For Springsteen, it's a betrayal of his wannabe working class persona. In his endorsement video for Harris-Walz, Springsteen denigrated President Trump as a "dangerous" man who "doesn't understand the meaning of this country, its history, or what it means to be deeply American."
That's news to the people with whom Springsteen grew up — and the working class Americans so often portrayed in his music. A majority of voters in Monmouth County, New Jersey — where Springsteen was born, raised, and still resides — supported President Trump in 2020. In his current hometown of Colts Neck, New Jersey, voters backed President Trump by a two-to-one margin.
If nothing else, Springsteen's appearance is an acknowledgement he is deeply out of touch with the working class of which he claims to be part. Rank-and-file union members across the country are backing President Trump in record numbers as Democrats — and their policy centered around wealthy, coastal elites — abandon everyday American workers.
For years, Democrats have gotten rich as they sold out American workers through unfair trade, environmental obsessions, and an embrace of illegal immigration that has killed jobs and raised prices.
Then, after years of unkept promises, President Trump stood up and delivered for American workers — and he'll do it again in his second term.
Democrats' chickens are coming home to roost.
Just don't expect Obama, Springsteen, or Kamala to notice.
