Democrats seen as main problem in much of America

‘The brand is so toxic’: Dems fear extinction in rural US

Some Democrats in rural Pennsylvania are afraid to tell you they’re Democrats.

The party’s brand is so toxic in the small towns 100 miles northeast of Pittsburgh that some liberals have removed bumper stickers and yard signs and refuse to acknowledge publicly their party affiliation. These Democrats are used to being outnumbered by the local Republican majority, but as their numbers continue to dwindle, those who remain are feeling increasingly isolated and unwelcome in their own communities.

“The hatred for Democrats is just unbelievable,” said Tim Holohan, an accountant based in rural McKean County who recently encouraged his daughter to get rid of a pro-Joe Biden bumper sticker. “I feel like we’re on the run.”

The climate across rural Pennsylvania is symptomatic of a larger political problem threatening the Democratic Party heading into the November elections. Beyond losing votes in virtually every election since 2008, Democrats have been effectively ostracized from the overwhelmingly white parts of rural America, leaving party leaders with few options to reverse a cultural trend that is redefining the political landscape.

Democrats are, indeed, toxic in much of America.  While I still know a few of them, they are embarrassed by their vote for Biden.  But it is not just a Biden problem.  The Pelosi and Schumer-run Congress are also pushing an agenda that a majority of voters oppose.  There are not any Democrats I would consider voting for, because doing so would empower people like Schumer and Pelosi.
