The Left claims Republicans only care about the top 1%. This is of course not true, but it’s also done for a nefarious purpose — to distract from their own failures.
There is a real 1% problem in this country. It is the Left’s relentless pandering to a tiny but loud minority — an estimated 1.6 million transgender individuals — pushing radical activism that is tearing at the fabric of American values.
Everyday Americans see this as proof the Left is willing to upend reality to appease a fringe movement while ignoring the real problems facing the country.
Here’s the truth: The left doesn’t want to talk about inflation, crime, or border security, so they foam at the mouth over Elon Musk. They’re working hard, firing on all cylinders for a small, deranged activist class.
Their post-election messaging is nails on a chalkboard for the working class. Just recently Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer mocked struggling Americans as “greedy” for hating taxes.
A recent poll shows the Left’s favorability is in free fall. No mystery why — their policies have radicalized America, forcing voters to pick between common sense and chaos.
Meanwhile, Republicans are delivering real results.
Under President Donald Trump, America is making a comeback the Left can’t spin away. Egg prices have dropped nearly 50 percent since Biden left office, gas prices are lower than a year ago, and costs have declined for four straight weeks.
Private sector job growth is surging, manufacturing is bouncing back, and wages are outpacing inflation. Trump brought back 10,000 new manufacturing jobs in February alone. Trump ended the unfair practice of forcing women to compete against men in sports, the border crisis is over. Illegal crossings have dropped 94 percent, ICE arrests have surged 627 percent, and dangerous cartel operatives are being extradited.
The Left’s arsenal of talking points has run dry, and all there is left is outright vigilantism.
Democratic Reps. Robert Garcia and Jasmine Crockett, to name a few, went on national television and called for violence against Elon Musk. The mask has slipped. The party claiming to stand against “hate” and “political violence” is openly threatening those who dare challenge their control.
The FBI is now investigating a wave of Tesla protests and vandalism, including arson in Las Vegas. And in one of the most ridiculous cases yet, in our state of South Carolina an anti-Musk activist trying to destroy a Tesla dealership ended up setting himself on fire. You can’t make this up.
November’s election results weren’t a fluke; they were a referendum on failure. Instead of learning a lesson, the Left has doubled down on its insanity.
If the Left wants to understand why they’re losing, they need to look in the mirror. Americans are done with pandering, incompetence, and radicalization. They need to see they’re the ones with the 1% problem.
Rep. Nancy Mace is a Republican congresswoman from South Carolina.
