I know it’s very tempting to see the glass as half empty. But you can’t expect things to change overnight.
The most significant positive development of the past 2 years is Hispanics and Asians pulling away from the Democrats. Hispanics saw how much Trump’s policies were beneficial to them. While more upwardly mobile Asians are seeing that the whole BLM, systemic racism propaganda casts them as “White adjacent”.
The ruling class’ hatred for Trump stems from the fact that he actually succeeded in throwing a wrench into the machine. They’re flexing their muscles because they know that the repercussions of Trump’s accomplishments are inevitably coming down the pike.
Politics is always about the future. And the ruling class is not feeling too secure about their future, thanks to Trump.
Maybe, but I am considerably less certain of this. Sure, many Hispanics and blacks may start voting for Republicans, but if they can steal the vote in every Dem controlled big city, that's a real problem. For example, in PA it seems unlikely to me that any Republican will ever win a statewide election again. Vote stuffing in Philly, the collar suburbs, Pittsburgh will overwhelm any increase in Republican turnout.
All your comments were insightful...but I liked the above best.
