In an editorial, Hudson County Republican Party Vice Chairman for Communications Joshua Sotomayor Einstein opines on why recent actions of many New Jersey Democrats are “indicative of a party detached from reality.”

The recent uproar by many NJ Democrat politicians in support of illegal immigration, DEI, wasteful federal spending (which increases taxes), and against protecting women’s sports and spaces is indicative of a party detached from reality.

Poll after poll shows Americans support deporting illegal aliens who have committed crimes, ending racially based discrimination, ending deep-state special interest spending projects, and know that men do not belong in women’s locker rooms and bathrooms.

Despite these facts, the priority for Dem officer seekers is not representing the people but appealing to the “non-partisan” special interest organizations that are now more electorally important than ever after NJ abolished the official county line in primary elections.

Rather than steer their party to some semblance of sanity, NJ Democrat leaders are steering theirs against commonsense Americans and for an extreme minority of “non-profit professionals” who push nothing but an unending culture war of bad policies the people reject.

NJ Democrat leaders are doubling down on division and have decided that most voters, including rank and file Democrats, Republicans, and independents, are morally wrong for prioritizing upholding the law over keeping a constant flow of illegal aliens who undercut American workers.

The Dems demonize those who want American taxes to support Americans first, not foreign nationals illegally in America or foreign nations. They pretend everyone who believes in race neutral meritocracy is a racist.

They say those opposed to drag queen story hour for children are bigots, while never organizing drag queen story hour for any other age nor bringing “heteronormative” sexual dancers to “read” and perform for children (which would be equally abhorrent).

The NJ Democrat candidates and leadership are out of touch and out of their minds. Half their proposed solutions are in search or problems that do not exist but are in the service of special interests.

The other half is doubling down on abject failure – i.e. raising taxes, growing government, and manufacturing more regulations – all of which increase poverty, shrink affordability, kill jobs, and increase crime.

    • Republicans dream of taking away social security and medicare. Democrats dream of good public transportation and walkable cities. We are not the same.

  1. The Democrats are just nuts. Their behavior at the State of the Union was appalling. Look at that Al Green (D) who was ejected. Hard to take a 77-year-old with a ponytail and a gold-plated cane seriously.

  2. In your opening paragraph,JS, you mischaracterize many NJ Democrat politicians in each one of your four assertions. On what you coin illegal immigration, while both sides concede the dirty water should always be effectively discharged, your side ( only) throws out the baby with it. You and your family wouldn’t think twice about fleeing a homeland that subjected you to violence or economic injustice, but now that you ar an American, you cast your nose upward, and away from the plight of these desperate people. How sad for you, you hypocrite. I noticed you didn’t mention the BI-PARTISAN Border bill that Trump demanded your side withdraw its support of so Biden could not claim any credit. Instead YOUR PARTY censured the very conservative Oklahoma Senator who helped craft that bill. So you, as a Jew, are against equity and inclusion? What did you think, JS, of all those MAGA WHITE GENTILES carrying torches at that Virginia rally during Trump’s first term carrying torches saying “We will not be told what to do by Jews!” A rally where a very white, right wing MAGA guy drove into a peaceful group of counter protesters, killing one? An event that Trump said there where good people on both sides? Do you agree with the COWARD Anti Defamation League that the gesture Elon Musk made to thousands of MAGA SUPPORTERS on the night of Trump’s 2nd Inauguration was NOT a NAZI SALUTE?!!!!

    On your third point in your opening paragraph, of course, all, ( possibly with one exception) of the example Trump cited as waist full examples of Federal spending in his recent speech to Congress are legitimate examples of such. However, it was only the substantial blowback, mostly from outraged Democrats, to DOGE’s unfettered actions , that caused Trump to walk back the original Carte Blanche he gave the unelected Musk authority to do.Of course, your strongest argument is in protecting women’s sports. The President’s use of the young woman present at his recent speech to Congress whose vision was significantly negatively impaired by an athlete who was not born female, was highly effective, and he does deserve credit for bringing this to our attention.

    Your 2nd paragraph employs the de-humanizing term ‘illegal alien.’ Perhaps you might consider the works of a fellow Jew, Martin Buber, who strongly advocated for all good people to consider others as “thou”, rather than as an other. We are all in this together, JS, and God has no favorites: we are ALL his Children. It is not God, who told Jacob to betray his older (twin) brother to deceive their father Isaac into giving him his father’s Blessing to the exclusion of his other son. Some of whom you cavalierly call ‘illegal aliens’ are probably more righteous than you or I, in Hod’s eyes. When you say ‘have committed crimes’ you do mean, having been convicted of crime and having exhausted all appeals, do you not? If you deny justice for all human beings, than you certainly deny justice for yourself, as well. You talk about ending racially based discrimination, when as a Jew, you have a very memory of how Jews were discriminated for many years in our Country. As a Republican, do you fully embrace Justice Thomas’s refusal to acknowledge the very real oppression African Americans suffered at the hands of antebellum and post Civil War Southern Democrats( whose progeny switched to your Party starting soon after Black Americans began voting en masse for Democrats beginning with FDR) except when at his confirmation hearing, he referred to legitimate questions about his conduct towards a former fellow female attorney Anita Hill, as a “lynching?” Kindly stop insulting intelligent and educated readers with the parroted term ‘deep state.’ A term which your self-serving side coined to obfuscate the truth of the matter.

    When you say men do not belong in women’s locker rooms, you must be precise in what you mean. Is this at all gyms or just on scholastic and professional sports teams? ( I agree with you on the latter two.)

    You did not mention examples of ‘non partisan’ special interest groups who you say Democrats seek to represent over ‘the people.’ But also, you failed to mention the NRA. On one metric, it is ‘non partisan’ in that it does give favorable ratings to any legislator, regardless of Party, which advocates and votes for its favored legislation. ( But of course on a more substantive metric, it really does embrace your Party for putting its gross misrepresentation of the 2nd Amendment ahead of all other consideration in this matter, including the fact that our Country is plagued by gun violence that your side chooses to sit on its hands rather that address this issue with sensible gun regulations, as in; “A well-regulated militia…”)

    When you talk about Democratic leaders steering us towards “non profit professionals,” who really should remove the beam of wood that blinds your eye from the truth, before attempting to remove the speck of dust from our eye.

    There are so many wrong characterizations in your 5th paragraph. How SELECTIVE you are in proclaiming that MAGA Republicans /let’s face it, that’s what you mean/-want to prioritize “upholding the law.” WHERE WERE YOU AND MOST OF YOUR MAGA CRONIES WHEN YOUR ILK TURNED HUGE BLIND EYES TO WHAT HAPPENED ON JANUARY 6, 2021?!!!!You willfully swallowed Trump’s lies because for you, the ends justifies the means.How did you and Trump uphold the rule of law that day? Now that your “savior” Trump is committed to making his tax cuts heavily skewed to the rich permanent, he can’t possible build that border wall he never actually intended to build in the first place.

    In your 6th paragraph, your hypocrisy really shows. You imply taxes under Democrats supported foreign nations at the expense of Americans. Are you against aid to Ukraine? Are you against aid to Israel? Would it be right and justified for any government to bulldoze YOUR home and eject YOU AND YOUR FAMILY from YOUR HOME so that “settlers” can move in?
    How does the issuance of $5million dollar gold cards, as an enhanced green card, an advocation for a “neutral meritocracy?”

    I agree with your 7th paragraph.

    Here’s my rebuttal to your 8th paragraph: Your refusal to acknowledge “ Project 2025” as a very real threat to our Democracy shows your ignorance and/or complicity.

    Your last paragraph really shows your youthful ignorance and the hollowness of your sophomoric, circular reasoning that masquerades very poorly as legitimate talking points:
    “Raising taxes” you should actually mention that Democrats largely restore tax rates where they should be, those that expect that the rich should pay higher rates because they can and should. You say that regulations increase poverty. You lie. MANY JEWS and MANY GENTILES died in the horrific Triangle Shirtwaist factory five due to slave-like wages, and horrific working conditions that were advocated by REPUBLICAN SWEATSHOP factory owners. Regulations that were finally addressed by DEMOCRATS. The poor and working poor and lower/middle and middle class Americans are not the enemy her, JS, the enemy here are people like you who carry the dirty water of DEMAGOGUES like Trump. When he descended the escalator at the start of his 2016 campaign, he was merely parroting his idol Adolph Hitler, who produced the most chillingly effective propaganda film in history, Triumph of the Will. Open your eyes Joshua Sotomayor.
