Worst article (really, a straight up propaganda piece with NO FACTS AT ALL) ever published on this Substack. Obamacare RUINED MY LIFE. It wasn't enough that Barry and Joe took my house away to give to their banker buddies, but then they quadrupled my premiums and deductibles and made me uninsured for fourteen years. That was the reality of Obamacare for older self-employed single people in the expensive states.

So Jindal wants job “creation and low unemployment,” (WHY THE QUOTES, Trude?) and expanding affordable housing, reducing federal bureaucracy, cracking down on crime and illegal immigration, passing congressional term limits and ending foreign wars and reliance on China." Newsflash: most Americans want all of those things, too.

You know who DOESN'T want these things? The college-educated bicoastal elites, that's who, and that's clearly who this writer is concerned about. ALL THE RICH PEOPLE are against affordable housing, lest it threaten their precious property values (their GOD). All want unabated illegal immigration so they can have cheap nannies and gardeners who are afraid of deportation. All want an ever-expanding government bureaucracy so we can pretend unemployment is not a problem.

All LOVE the politicians they've been able to purchase and want them to stay in office forever, beholden to those in the donor class. All LOVE unlimited spending on wars and their sacred portfolios are heavily "invested" in killing poor people overseas FOREVER. All want cheap goods from China made by nonunionized labor with no environmental considerations whatsoever.

Thanks for reminding me why I will never vote D again. And for the record, I'm extremely well educated with a master's from a New York school that now costs $90K/year and I voted straight Dem for 28 years. I now hate the Ds with a passion, and writers like this make me puke.
