In a startling revelation that would have left many Americans aghast merely a decade ago, recent polling data indicates a shift in the sentiments of Democrats, with a larger faction now rooting for China in the ongoing trade war against the United States, rather than their own homeland.
This is not a hyperbolic statement, nor is it a spin on reality. It is a harsh truth.
According to The Blaze, a national survey conducted jointly by the Heartland Institute and Rasmussen Reports discloses that 32% of probable Democratic voters are in favor of China emerging victorious, while a mere 30% express their support for the Trump administration in this conflict. An additional 38% remain uncertain.
This poll should serve as a stark reminder that we are not merely engaged in a policy dispute. We are, in fact, embroiled in a war for the very essence of our nation.
In contrast, a whopping 88% of probable Republican voters back the Trump administration in the trade war. Among voters who identify as politically unaffiliated, a scant 16% favor China over the United States.
Consider this: An increasing number of Democrats would prefer to see a suppressive communist regime, known for imprisoning political dissidents, censoring speech, and persecuting religious minorities, triumph over America in an economic face-off, merely out of spite for Donald Trump.
This is not just disconcerting. It is fundamentally un-American.
The poll results expose a disconcerting truth about the contemporary left. Partisan animosity has superseded even the most rudimentary sense of national allegiance. The focus is no longer on what benefits America, but rather on what undermines Donald Trump, even if it entails granting a strategic victory to our most formidable geopolitical adversary.
This dispute is not about tariff policy. Reasonable individuals can hold differing views on trade. This is about applauding a totalitarian regime simply because it opposes a U.S. president. This is not ideology; it is sheer partisan malice. And it should alarm every American who prioritizes country over party.
Some may attribute this to ignorance. However, the survey suggests a deeper issue. Everyone comprehends what the Chinese communist regime embodies. This is the government that concealed the COVID-19 outbreak, pilfers hundreds of billions worth of U.S. intellectual property annually, and bolsters its economy with forced labor.
Despite this, a significant portion of Democratic voters would still prefer to see China win a trade war rather than witness Trump succeed.
This exposes the decay at the heart of the modern progressive movement: a profound, pathological aversion to anything that even remotely resembles traditional American values capitalism, strength, independence, and yes, national pride. This is why so many on the left cannot bring themselves to support a U.S. victory in a confrontation with a foreign adversary.
The fight for the future of the United States is not confined to Washington it is taking place in the hearts and minds of our fellow citizens. And based on this data, that fight is far from over.
