The Democrats have lost again. Twice. For similar reasons.
They missed: blinded by their own light.
In 2016 they missed the Deplorables. In 2024 the Working Class feeling poor.
Their outlook of fairness, reasonableness, with no discernable policies was projected into a loss. Like all groups of people we don’t learn from the repeat unless forced to. Like the Johari Window we can only see what we want to see because it is familiar. We are blind to difference, frightened by unknown values.
Democrats and their principles are founded on an educated elite which the majority of the American people feel excluded from. The frontier country wants something more dynamic. Of action. Not caring what that action might be.
