Things are not the same everywhere in this country, but I've done quite a bit of traveling in SC, GA, and AL. In all three states gasoline has been below $3/gallon for nearly a year. Restaurants are crowded on weekends. People are attending sporting events with their precious discretionary dollars, and there aren't walking around in rags. These aren't the working poor who are just scraping by. These are the people who are dissatisfied because they simply think their lives should be without struggles.
The continued "conventional wisdom" will only cause Democrats to look toward the wrong answers and, therefore, get the undesired outcomes.
Kamala Harris run was undone by a culture war campaign that could have been a Karl Rove fever dream. Democrats ignore that at their peril. Not providing a coherent response to these tactics is to fail. It happened years ago with same-sex marriage, and it happened here with transgenderism. And to ignore the racism and sexism is to be willfully blind and to ignore the level of this toxicity in our country.
