On Tuesday, Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld said that President Donald Trump’s historic win showed voters how the Democrats use virtue signaling to “exploit people.”
The panel on “The Five” discussed how Kamala Harris’ campaign increasingly pandered to specific, radical voting blocs at the expense of key voting blocs, such as Hispanics and Black men, to Republicans.
Gutfeld noted that, regardless of whether Democrats win seats in the future, the real question is whether voters “believe anything” Democrats say.
“I mean you (Democrats) should do well in the midterms, usually the outside party does. It’s a question of whether anybody’s going to believe anything you say, because everything you said the last four years was a lie. Not you (referencing Jessica Tarlov) I’m just talking about primarily Joe Biden.”
“Look, what is the usual answer, Jesse, when someone says, ‘Why don’t they like me?’ Usually the answer is, ‘Well, you’re a selfish prick.’ And the answer is, ‘I’m not selfish. I do all sorts of things. I help people.’”
“It’s like, no, no, no, no, no. That’s exactly my point. You do those things as a virtue signal to give you permission to exploit people,” Gutfeld continued.
“People are suddenly realizing that’s what the Democratic Party was. All the virtues that they expressed were designed for their primary engine, which is the self.”
“‘How can I elevate my status? How could I end up at the Met Gala?’ It’s all about that. I mentioned this word before,” he noted. “It’s an orientation problem.”
“The Democratic Party is a party that doesn’t look up or out. It looks around, and it looks inward. They look around to see what others have, and that’s status seeking, and it drives envy. Identity politics plays into that.”
“They look inward and, again, they see everything through the hierarchy of identity. Then suddenly everything becomes transactional. ‘What do I get out of this? Why do they get this?’”
“Trump smashed that thing to bits. He showed that a Black plumber and a White cop can vote for Trump, and that destroys the whole framework. By focusing on what you do, as opposed to who you are, he shows that ideas unify in a more healthy and authentic fashion than pigment or chromosomes. It’s all about ideas.”
He then talked about the evolving demographics of the Republican party noting, “The party is more diverse than any Disney movie.”
“But it is kind of incredible to see that change. Especially the younger people. The younger people. It’s all because they’ve lost the sunk cost of identity, that this bag of rocks that they carry around wherever they go, they’re free to bond over ideas. And I would say to the Democrats, you’ve got to take a page out of the Republican playbook.”
