I think in the long term, the Democrats will have a “White Flight” problem. Whites are leaving the Democrat party in the South, and this will spread across the US. Democrats have long promoted “diversity” and Affirmative Action. This identity politics has made the White middle class Democrats feel unwelcome.
The attrition of white male voters is only going to get worse for the Democrats.
Its no longer just a Southern problem for them.

Very true. Whites are now a BLOCK VOTE, 75/25 (at least) in the South, and there A LOT of us. Hispanics are splitting their votes almost 50/50, at least outside of California and the Northeast.
The Dems are left with the black vote (90/10), fighting to get just a majority of the Hispanic vote, and being annihilated by the white vote in the South. It’s over for them in the South, and if the whites firm-up as a block vote elsewhere, we’re looking at Reagan-style blowouts in the future.
