What was going on in their heads was different from what was going on in the heads of most of their natural supporters. Same with the Democrats – extreme, unrelated to ordinary life, and highly judgemental of people who disagree with them.
You can see it in issues of race too. The Democrats have moved from the Martin Luther King era of dignity for all to the violent anti-white fury of Black Lives Matter. This trend Kamala Harris never confronted; indeed, she half endorsed it.
You see it in issues of the environment, where a massive speculation on the timeframe and the energy measures allegedly needed to stop global warming is used to try to end the cheap fossil-fuel energy on which the prosperity of most Americans depends.
The Democrats seem to have extreme difficulty in understanding the question which, by implication, the voters were asking them: “You cannot guarantee our basic wants on the economy and immigration. What makes you think you can tell us how to be better people?”
This is what Donald Trump does understand. By winning the American ground war, you win the culture war too. Indeed, they are almost the same thing. DT.
