Democrats need to address the "Working Class" problem and get over the "Isms"

130. "It's the stupid, stupid."

People want to say that the economy drove the election result, but the result doesn’t make rational sense from any economic perspective. “Trump’s economy” prior to COVID was just the Obama/Biden recovery extended, which Trump had slowed through his tariffs; we suffered greater economic and human loss during COVID due to Trump’s mishandling of the pandemic; post-pandemic, America’s economy is the envy of the world; as for higher prices, yep, those hurt … but inflation has been brought under control without handicapping the economic recovery and, most importantly, Trump’s promised policies (tariffs, mass deportation, …) are projected to boost inflation rather than curb it.

It wan’t the economy but the overwhelming stupidity of voters unable or unwilling to pay even the merest attention to unissued and policies. (Putting aside those otherwise motivated.)
