I'm stunned. I knew it was possible but somehow still didn't believe it would happen.
Goodbye vaccines, goodbye environment, goodbye Ukraine.
Who to blame? People the Democratic party has depended on for decades ... racial minorities and young people.
Trump eroded Democrats’ traditional advantage among key groups
Trump picked up a small but significant share of younger voters, Black voters and Hispanic voters, many of whom were feeling down about the economy. Majorities of younger Black voters and Latino voters said the economy is not working well.
Yes, the economy. As I mentioned in many past blog posts, the Harris campaign seemed to only care about the middle and upper classes but seemed to ignore those who actually most needed help. Did they just not know we existed or is it that they didn't care?
The sad thing is, Trump will not help the poor and he has no idea how to fix the economy. The stupid selfish people have voted for a terrible candidate in order to get more for themselves. They will be disappointed, and the rest of us will have to suffer along with them.
Be a light unto yourself.
ReplyDeleteHard to stay positive but I'll try :)
ReplyDeleteI think there is a lot of misogyny. Obama won as a Black man. But Hillary (the first woman candidate) didn't, and Harris didn't. Coincidence?
ReplyDeleteI'm reading there was a record turnout of young, non-college educated men. Do they see it as some kind of zero sum game, where if women get ahead, they fall behind?
There does seem to be a movement among young men that is really antagonistic to women. People like Andrew Tate are part of the right-wing "manosphere" online that preaches misogyny and a lot of young men follow that stuff.
ReplyDeleteSounds like they're trying to be incels.
DeleteYes. One of the creeps who had last thanksgiving dinner with Trump, along with Kanye West, was Nick Fuentes, an ultra-conservative Catholic woman-hating reactionary who describes himself as an incel. I think another description of that term would be "loser" ;)
