Actor John Cusack criticizes Dem Party: ‘Betrayed working class for years’
Big-Time Lefty Actor John Cusack Slams Dem Party – ‘Sold Out the Working Class for Decades’
Every now and then, a wealthy liberal accidentally stumbles upon the truth.
On Monday, actor John Cusack made a bold statement, denouncing Democrats for betraying the working class for years.
And he’s not entirely wrong. Democrats have indeed sold out the working class, although not in the way Cusack believes.
Cusack took to social media to express his anger, posting a passionate rant that hit the nail on the head, albeit for the wrong reasons.
Like many affluent liberals, Cusack has always presented himself as a champion of the working people. But his friendship comes with conditions. He expects working people to blindly trust that high taxes advocated by liberals are in their best interest.
So when an article was published claiming that some Democrats, including Neal Katyal, oppose a wealth tax on the super-rich, Cusack unleashed his fury on Katyal and other Democratic elites.
He argued that liberals and neoliberals have played a significant role in creating the conditions for fascism to thrive. He accused Obama and other corporatist Democrats of being more conservative than Richard Nixon on domestic policy.
Cusack couldn’t resist blaming elitist Democrats for Trump’s rise to power, even though he was partially correct in his assessment.
But Cusack’s main target was Katyal’s opposition to a wealth tax. He accused him of working to preserve the wealth of billionaires like Elon Musk, Bill Gates, and Jeff Bezos, while pretending to fight against Trump’s lawlessness.
Throughout his rant, Cusack couldn’t help but bring up his favorite subjects: “trumps lawlessness” and “the fascists.”
However, Cusack’s rage-filled post perfectly exemplifies the toxic nature of modern politics. It also sheds light on the reasons why working people have abandoned the Democratic Party.
Years ago, academia focused on race, class, and gender. But over time, the emphasis shifted, and the working class was left behind.
Affluent liberals realized they couldn’t rely on the working class, so they turned their attention to issues of race and gender. Cusack, however, failed to grasp this shift.
He still believes that working people see him as their champion, but in reality, he belongs to the very elite class he claims to despise.
Cusack’s social media post inadvertently highlights why working people have lost faith in the Democratic Party. By using terms like “fascists” and “trumps lawlessness,” he inadvertently supports the narrative of the Democratic elites.
Working people have noticed that the entrenched federal bureaucracy and proponents of open borders insult Trump and his supporters, while ignoring their concerns.
They have also realized that taxes only benefit their true enemies, and that their voices are silenced by cancel culture and government censorship.
Cusack’s belief that advocating for wealth taxes makes him a friend to the working class is laughable. Working people have learned from experience that taxes only enrich those who seek to exploit them.
It’s clear that the Democratic Party has indeed sold out the working class, and it’s time for a change.
WARNING: The following post contains vulgar language that some viewers may find offensive.
This is what liberals /neoliberals have never understood – or taken responsibility for – that they have played a major part in creating the precise conditions for fascism to flourish – Obama corporatist democrats – are to the right of Richard Nixon on domestic policy –

Cusack’s outburst perfectly captures the current state of politics and the disillusionment of the working class. It’s time for a new approach.

How does the disconnect between the elite class and the working class contribute to the loss of trust in the Democratic Party
Democratic Party. The party’s focus on identity politics and the interests of the elite has left working-class Americans feeling neglected and betrayed.
Cusack’s anger towards Democratic elites like Neal Katyal stems from their opposition to a wealth tax. He accuses them of protecting the wealth of billionaires like Elon Musk, Bill Gates, and Jeff Bezos while pretending to fight against Trump’s alleged lawlessness. His frustration is palpable, as he believes that these elites have sold out the working class in favor of their own interests.
However, Cusack’s post also reveals a deeper issue within modern politics – the toxic nature of political discourse. He is quick to bring up “Trump’s lawlessness” and “the fascists,” resorting to hyperbole and sensationalism to make his point. This kind of rhetoric only further polarizes and divides the political landscape, making productive conversation and meaningful change difficult to achieve.
What Cusack fails to understand is that the Democratic Party has shifted its priorities over the years. While academia once focused on issues of race, class, and gender, the emphasis has since shifted towards identity politics. Affluent liberals have recognized that they cannot rely on the working class for their support, so they have turned their attention to the concerns of marginalized communities.
Unfortunately, this shift has left working people feeling left behind and ignored. They no longer see themselves represented in a party that is more concerned with issues that do not directly impact their economic well-being. Cusack, however, seems to be unaware of this shift and still believes that he is seen as a champion of the working class.
In reality, Cusack is part of the very elite class that he claims to despise. His wealth and celebrity status separate him from the everyday struggles of working Americans. This disconnect between the elite and the working class is one of the main reasons why people have lost faith in the Democratic Party.
Cusack’s accidental revelation of the Democratic Party’s betrayal of the working class is indeed significant, albeit for the wrong reasons. While he may believe that Democrats have sold out the working class, the reality is that the party’s focus on identity politics and the interests of the elite has left working people feeling neglected and unheard.
In order to rebuild trust with the working class, the Democratic Party must reevaluate its priorities and return to championing economic issues that directly impact the everyday lives of Americans. It’s time for the party to refocus on issues such as job creation, fair wages, and access to affordable healthcare. Only then can they regain the support of the working class and truly represent their interests.
