I was talking to a woman who runs one of the largest labor and delivery wards. She said 40 percent of the babies there have at least one parent addicted to fentanyl. What is empathetic - to tell them that's their problem, or to take border security seriously? People are putting their groceries on their credit card. No one is listening to anything else you say if you try to talk them out of their lived experiences with data points from some economists.
Sometimes I feel like people just can't hear me, so I'm not going to bother saying it to some of these people. They've got to come to Jesus; I can't make them do that.
It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them.
