Liberals, Democrats, and others on the Left have learned absolutely nothing from their humiliating election defeat in November 2024. Over three months later, they are still using the same political and cultural playbook from 2015 to appeal to people in 2025. One must look no further than Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary special, which featured a skit with actor Tom Hanks in which he portrayed a caricature of a racist, redneck, hillbilly, white supporter of President Donald Trump. 

The only thing missing from Hanks’s skit was a Hitler or Nazi reference. In 2025, after Trump earned a higher percentage of minority voters than nearly every Republican presidential candidate since Reconstruction, the appeal value of the “Trump supporters are racist” insult has passed. Moreover, the shock value of it has grown tiresome. At this point, it’s archaic and has as much appeal as the malodorous stench of expired milk.
