I will say this. If the Democrats abandon its identity politics, speech censorship driven by political correctness and protection of feelings, class war and hostility toward Christians, they have a prime opportunity in the comings four years to be the governing party. Trump and the Republican congressmen's cowardice have opened the door to a swing in momentum and governance. If Democrats revert back to to platitudes, political correctness, cowering to special interest groups (whether labor or specific minority groups at the cost of inclusion of everyone), and blaming the rich, then they deserve what they get. However, if they appeal to the greater value of all of us being Americans (not black, white, gay, straight, etc), all of us being driven by self-determination and accountability, basic human decency and compassion for each other (not as a means of punishing the rich but as a means of helping our neighbors), then the Republicans deserve to be booted out for their cowardice and putting policy before country. I have a feeling that the Democrats will revert to far left than to greater inclusion. They will rely on aging of the baby boomer generation instead of realizing that there are more conservative young people now that there have been in a long time. I don't care which party ends up getting it, but most of us want those who put America before choosing sides or party.
Hillary lost because her potential voters weren't enthusiastic for her in the way they were enthusiastic for Obama. Trump won because his potential voters were enthusiastic about him.
It had nothing to do with all those liberal stereotypes you identity.
Obama endorsed gay marriage in the summer of 2012 ... and went on to win a majority of the votes and the Electoral College.
Obama and Hillary were each more Christian than Trump, who's basically not Christian at all. AT ALL. He's the antithesis of Christianity.
And yet Trump was elected.
It is the Republicans, not the Dems, who are reliant on the aging and dying Baby Boomer population.
A lot of those old people who voted for Trump will be dead in November 2020.
Meanwhile, a lot of the young people born at the end of 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002 -- who are more likely to be liberal and accepting of other "identities" -- will be voting for the first time. These young people grew up in a world where it's frowned upon to grab women's vaginas without permission.
As I showed upthread, all the anti-Trump people need to do is unite behind one candidate.
And, as I pointed out earlier, we're only in the 24th month of the Daily Trump Drama. There will be 42 months to go. By then, me thinks that the country will be exhausted by all this.
