“Maybe we pushed too far,” Mr. Obama said. “Maybe people just want to fall back into their tribe.”
The mindset of a liberal. Total projection. They are the ones balkanizing the country.
It couldn’t be any of their insane policies.
The left threw the working class completely overboard and decided to cater to fringe lunatics, identity politics and constituencies dependent on government.
Obama's "bitter clingers" and Hillary's "deplorables" are the white middle and working classes. Sometime over the last 20-30 years, Democrats decided that they didn't want or need the support of the white working or middle class to win elections, banking instead on the votes and support of non-whites with chips on their shoulders against whitey/gringo, college campus radicals, homosexuals, and feminists were enough to win elections.
When this gallery of circus freaks doesn't quite give enough votes to put them over the top, the Democrats adopt a strategy of "we despise you, but we still need your vote" towards their former constituency. Then they're shocked, outraged, and incredulous that the people they've been spitting on decide to vote Republican, or not to vote at all.
