John Fetterman just shared this one secret on how he learned the Democrat Party was collapsing

Fetterman saw the Democrats losing their power years in advance, and he shared the sign that made him realize how bad things would get for the Left.

John Fetterman keeps raising red flags over major problems his party is going to face.

The Democrat Pennsylvania Senator has become extremely concerned about being the only Democrat sounding alarms.

And John Fetterman just shared this one secret how he learned the Democrat Party was collapsing.

John Fetterman on Trump’s connection with the working class

Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) just sat down for an interview with the New York Times in which he told Lulu Garcia-Navarro that he could see former President Donald Trump’s rise from miles away.

He explained that the Democrat Party was completely blind to Trump making serious inroads within their working-class voter base.

Fetterman mentioned a situation he found himself in back on the 2016 Presidential campaign trail, where he asked the union boss who ran the steel mill next to his house about how his members felt about Trump.

“Well, I think that’s finally making the grassroots more official,” started Fetterman. “I’ll never forget, I live directly across the street from the steel mill, and we were doing an event there for [Hillary] Clinton, and I asked the union president, Hey, where are we on Trump?”

According to the Pennsylvania Democrat, the union boss explained that about 60 percent of his rank-and-file members would throw their support behind Donald Trump.

“And he’s like, Yeah, probably half or 60 percent to two-thirds are voting for him,” Fetterman continued. “And I was like, Oh, that sucks.”

He followed with a story of when he saw a truck driver, with “truck nuts” on his hitch, passed by the event.

To further make his point, Fetterman asked Garcia-Navarro if she even knew what truck nuts were.

“And then immediately there was a guy, he had a truck, and he had truck nuts on it,” he noted. “You know what truck nuts are?”

The New York Times reporter’s response completely delivered the point Fetterman was making.

“Do I look as if I know what truck nuts are?” she fired back.

After explaining to Garcia-Navarro what truck nuts were, he noted that the union support Democrats rely on comes primarily from just government workers’ unions.

“It’s balls hung on the hitch of a truck, and he honked, and he was like, ‘Go Trump!’ as he drove by, and it’s like, Hey, we’re in trouble and it’s undeniable,” argued Fetterman. “And some unions like [S.E.I.U.] and the government kinds of unions are still very, very Democratic.”

Democrats abandon working-class voters

Fetterman warned that the level of blue-collar support that was moving towards Trump was the result of Democrats electing to ship thousands of jobs overseas while focusing on importing cheap labor, which wreaks havoc on Americans’ wages.

“But those others, I think a lot of their membership, for a lot of people, Trump has that kind of a connection,” added the Democrat Senator. “That’s real.”

“I witnessed that. And that’s why I’m concerned, and that’s why polls were inaccurate,” he concluded. “And that’s why now I’m saying we got to fight for every last vote. It’s going to matter.”

The Democrat Party’s woes with working-class Americans was definitively highlighted when the Teamsters union refused to endorse any candidate for President once 60 percent of their members showed their disdain for the Left.

But John Fetterman’s warning might be too little, too late as the Democrat Party may have already passed the point of repair over their broken relationship with the working-class.
