In a shocking turn of events, working-class Democrats in Philadelphia are contemplating a vote for former President Donald Trump this November. This trend, reported by The Philadelphia Inquirer, raises serious questions about the effectiveness and trustworthiness of the Biden-Harris administration. Have Democrats in the city, a once reliable blue bastion, finally had enough of the same hollow promises?
Take Gabriel Lopez, a 27-year-old who once championed Hillary Clinton in 2016. Now, he’s switched his registration to Republican and is vocally supporting Trump.
“Democrats keep saying [Trump] is going to bring down the economy, but he was already president for four years, and taxes were lower,” Lopez stated. “We’re tired of the same politics. We got a different type of guy, and the people actually love him.”
What does this say about the Democratic Party’s grip on its voters? It’s clear that working-class Pennsylvanians are feeling the pinch of rising prices, and many are pointing fingers at the policies of the Democrats.
As the Inquirer points out, Lopez is emblematic of the Democrats’ growing crisis in Pennsylvania. This once-reliable voting bloc has drifted towards the Republicans, and the economic hardship faced by these voters has only accelerated this shift.
Retired truck driver Jim Kohn also weighed in, lamenting the soaring costs under the current administration.
“When Trump was president, everything was cheaper,” Kohn said. “Now, everything is so sky-high.”
These sentiments are echoed by others in the area, who grapple with the reality of their economic struggles. While some Democrats still hold out hope for Vice President Kamala Harris, others are beginning to recognize the allure of Trump’s message.
“Many of us have people in our families who have gone to jail, or gone to schools that have failed us. We’re not trustful of the government,” stated Álvarez Febo, a Democrat intending to vote for Harris. “Then you have someone like Trump, who is a liar, and for some people, it’s like, ‘you know something? He’s an honest representation of what we feel.’”
But what does that say about Harris’ campaign? The lofty claims that “Kamala is going to save our democracy” ring hollow to those struggling to make ends meet.
“They’re saying Kamala is going to save our democracy,” Febo pointed out. “That means very little for people who can’t keep the lights on.”
The Republican party is buzzing with optimism, sensing a shift in the political landscape. Charlie O’Connor, the 45th Ward GOP Leader, notes a historic change in voter alignment.
“When I first started in politics in 1978, the managerial class was Republican — no one votes the way their bosses vote,” he remarked. “Now, most people in the managerial class vote Democratic and no one is voting the way their boss is. So it’s been a flip. Most of the bosses are Democrats and the Democratic Party has become the party of the upper middle class.”
With Pennsylvania being a critical battleground for the upcoming presidential election, current polling shows Harris and Trump locked in a tight race at 49% each among likely voters. As the 2024 election looms, the growing support for Trump among Philadelphia Democrats could very well reshape the political narrative. It’s time to pay attention.

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,

Wash/Rinse/Repeat. I’ve seen and heard this BS for my entire 6 decades.
Let them all go to the hell they created (crime and fatherless families), the hell they love (bling and $$), the hell they worship (idolatry) and the god they worship (satan). I’m beyond sick and tired of “hearing” about how black people are “finally waking up” and realizing they have been played and used and manipulated. Well NO SHEET! Us nasty ass white folk have been trying to tell y’all this for decades. A 20-year long dead corpse would have realized their condition sooner than the modern day colored person/negro/black/african american (insert next demanded term here). FFS. Vote for your literal salvation and enduring freedom (uhhhhh, that would be Trump), OR DON’T (that would be Harris). Most of us are just ph hucking tired and done caring.
Here is the CAM on Kensington Street Philly and watch the DEMOCRAT ZOMBIES.

We throw billions on the problem, even giving the druggies free hits, even ignoring law enforcement against thugs, and day after day I problem just gets worse.
A law abiding WORKING society should be the number thing to protect in America. They powers threw a just society into the toilet with free handouts and endless get out of jail free based on the color of your skin.
The answer is ending all handouts! Create WORK FARMS for ALL THE ENTITLEMENT GETTERS and ALL THE RELEASED FELONS, THE DRUGGIE DOPES, SHOPLIFTERS, and ALL OF SOCIETIES SCUM, where the inmates works to eat, and if they are good workers they can get sponsored by an employer and released into society.
If 75% of the 340 million population break our laws every hour, they all deserve the work farm.
And the illegal aliens should be forced to walk back to Mexico, a single file marching line.
And then we can go after the drug/hospitals for what the millions they killed during covid.
And then go after the deep state for all the crap they blamed Trump for, but it was actually the DEMS that committed the crimes that they blamed Trump.
There is so many ‘endless crap people’ in the USA that finally deserve theirs.
