Most Americans instinctively understand the freedoms and liberties as guaranteed by the Constitution. That’s why Obama has lost over 1,000 seats. Nobody wants to live under Marxism.
My take was that the Dems figured that W Bush would be the last white male president. Obama and the Dems basically set out a path to end “white rule” of the USA. Identity politics was the concept to create all these groups of people and then unite all these groups against the majority.
It did not work.
