Opinion piece, trying to help the Dems get a clue.

In my opinion, there are 2 key things Democrats still haven't learned.

1. People hate being talked down to. Democrats saying "the economy is great" is one - basically, they're saying "don't believe your eyes". The US economy was and is doing better than other developed countries. That being said, it wasn't "great" at all, and seeing higher prices week in / week out gets tiring (as an example, my Chipotle order went up seemingly almost 50% under Biden). People also don't like rampant political correctness / woke language ("unhoused", "justice-involved", "undocumented", etc) and think Democrats have gone off the deep end socially (trans issues - e.g. men in women's sports, pregnant men; not prosecuting crime, etc).

2. There's a belief - I hesitate to call it just a perception because there's an element of truth to it - that Democrats only care about about 6% of the population (black women). What did Biden promise? To nominate a black woman as his VP and to nominate a black woman to the Supreme Court. It works to shore up support very well for that group, but it puts off (in varying levels) 94% of the population while doing so. And what else do Democrats talk about? supporting Ukraine and illegals. Again, a turn-off

The evidence before us suggests that people seem to enjoy being talked down to when it comes to Donald Trump.

Take a look at the posters in this thread showcasing "The Trump Effect" on the S&P 500, which is largely because investors believe that Trump will never actually impose tariffs. Additionally, when GDP numbers are slightly better than expected, it gets a positive reaction.

The economic situation is just as challenging now as it was under Biden. Trump consistently insults your intelligence, yet his supporters still eagerly accept it.

What sets Trump apart is that he gives people permission to express racist beliefs openly. With Trump in charge, individuals feel free to indulge their most blatant racist tendencies without fear of social rejection as they interpret the election of Trump as the start of a societal shift towards being more accepting of racism.

It's literally as simple as "I'm not racist because Trump won and that means other people agree with my racism ".

From AI:

"The Mueller report, officially titled "Report On The Investigation Into Russian Interference In The 2016 Presidential Election," did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities. However, it did detail extensive Russian interference in the 2016 election, including:
A "sweeping and systematic" social media influence campaign by the Internet Research Agency (IRA) that favored Donald Trump and disparaged Hillary Clinton, aiming to sow social discord and influence voters.
Hacking operations by Russian military intelligence (GRU) that targeted the Democratic Party and the Clinton campaign, and then publicly disseminated stolen materials through intermediaries like WikiLeaks.
Regarding President Trump's conduct, the report laid out evidence on several instances of potential obstruction of justice, including:
Actions related to the firing of FBI Director James Comey.
Attempts to influence Attorney General Jeff Sessions and limit the scope of the Russia investigation.
Efforts to discourage or influence the testimony of witnesses."

You dont have any intelligence to be insulted...

What "racist beliefs" are being expressed?

Are you seriously so GD stupid you think Trump won the male Latino vote and a larger share of the black vote than he won in 2016 or 2020 because they're racist?

Someone posted a thread recently about a big chunk of Americans not being able to read above a 6th grade level. I think it's safe to say you fall into that category.

Yeah. The problem is that they take it personally when you say they can't read to an adequate level. They think that's an attack on them, rather than on the education system.

There was a survey out about a decade ago, and it showed how wildly disconnected the general public was to actual reality. From the rates of teenage pregnancy to the amount of foreign aid, to the levels of immigration, to average salaries - the public is basically wrong about everything.

Again, that's not an attack on anyone, it's just a symptom of how dazzled everyone is with different information. And in the internet age this has only got worse.
