How Democrats Lost Hold of Key Voting Blocs
you just mentioned how much success. Donald Trump had with a variety of. voting blocks that as Lisa you just. pointed out Democrats had long believed. were going to remain loyal to them and. but why but why why why did they believe. that like that evidence has been clear. about the drop off for a long time right. like we've had 202 we've had 2016 we've. had 2020 like we've actually had a lot. of evidence to say that the demographic. Des in the undertone is is one that is a.
faulty premise the fact that they are. holding on to the Obama era in my. opinion is a racist assumption I don't I. don't say that word like I don't mean it. like in a capital R way but I mean it in. like it's a race based assumption I mean. I think it's I would say lowercase. racist I would say that there is an. assumption that this it was a failure of. imagination that it couldn't be true I. yeah I hear you but I think there is a. sense of like yes we saw this drum beat. coming we saw more people were.
identifying as Republicans and like all. these polls we saw that uh Democrats had. moved towards the more conservative. position on issues like immigration we. saw that representation did not motivate. people saw representation isn't enough. but at the same time having a black yeah. people don't vote just on representation. there's another half of this though. which is that Democrats lost sight of. why they were winning voters like this. in the first place thank you preach and. which which is well one reason that I. think is worth mentioning is the the.
economy and helping working people. against um The Establishment and. corporations it was the Democrats who. used to be the party that was advocating. change that was against the. establishment that could Channel this. the you know emotions of a disaffected. uh young person Donald Trump is that. candidate and so they should in no way. be surprised.
