Read an interview with a Democrat advisor who was saying that very few Democrats seemed to be obvious (or were in denial) to the fact that social "woke" issues caused big problems for them during the election.

One comment he made was something like

"telling somebody who is barely scraping by on $10/hour that he is privileged because he is white is not a way to get his vote"

His point was that the Democrats had to shift away from this if they wanted to have any success in the future.

Yes, white people have some influence in this country.

The best predictor of voting preference in this election wasn’t white or not white, it was male or female.

Trump said the issue that came up wherever he went was the price of groceries.

People spoke to him about that more than anything else

Not as much as advertised.

45% of women voted Trump.

Point taken. Easy to lose sight of this, with all the messaging that he hates women and wants control over their bodies. And that messaging is generally sourced from a female talking head.

Emma from the Majority Report actually broke down into tears on the show after Trump's victory, while she reflected on women losing their rights under Trump.

Yep, he actually had a majority with white women.
