what a great article. I have hope that the Democrats will take a look at their loss and reevaluate why they lost many will say it was on economic issues. I disagree. I think it was on these social issues and the identity politics that voters really rejected.

What concerns me most is the political spectrum is more like a horseshoe with the two extremes very close together. I see conservatives with the belief “There’s nothing I can do ,The world is stacked against me. Everybody’s out to get me”Especially amongst those Highschool grads blue-collar workers in rural areas with their economic base eroded. Trump put together a multicultural coalition that would be very susceptible to that type of thinking. Listen to him and it is always always “the press treats me bad, everybody treats me bad it’s not my fault. It’s not your fault.”. It’s always someone else’s. It’s time everyone take Stock in themselves to determine that they themselves are the solution. That is empowerment

We need a leader embodying those principles
