'Diddycrats'

The political realignment unfolding in the United States is nothing short of astonishing. The Democratic Party, once the champion of the working class, has increasingly become the party of college-educated elites, big business, and the military establishment. It is also the party of smug, overpaid celebrities who, though they may come from the working-class, now seem disconnected from the realities of average Americans. A prime example is the growing number of actors, athletes, and entertainers who are endorsing Kamala Harris. Many of these celebrities argue Donald Trump’s wealth and privilege make him out of touch with the working-class.
