where you are welcome and who actually values you.
The attack on Hispanic voters as including people who “literally just got here and can barely vote” did not even generate objections from many Democratic Hispanic groups. Imagine if Trump or a conservative commentator made this comment.
But Black men also got brutalized by her:
Crockett was, if anything, inclusive in her attacks based on gender and race. She also attacked black men and women for voting for Trump. She just dismissed black men as hating women: “I’m going to chalk up to misogyny.”
But Democrat strategy has ALWAYS been identity politics (and heaven knows, not assertions about policy!). So old habits die hard. And Democrats are almost totally unequipped to argue policy!
What is striking about the Vanity Fair article is that Democrats continued to rely on identity politics despite every indication that it was not working. Now, after losing both houses and the White House, they are doubling down on identity politics.
To me it’s not at all “striking.” It’s the ONLY tool they have in the shed! As the old saying goes, when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail!
For Democrats, it’s all immediate tactics. There simply is no strategy for the well-being of the country!
