Interesting article.
But will the liberals take any of this to heart? Or will they persist in thinking that we are all racist, sexist, homophobic, Islamophobic, etc. per Hillary’s screed on the subject?
Because if they persist in labeling all of us to be bigots of some sort, there’s no way Democrats will address any of this.
The liberals have knee jerk reactions. You can’t discuss immigration, for example, because they will label you as xenophobic, tell you we’re a nation of immigrants, and all that crap, which then ends the discussion.
You can’t discuss issues of immigrants or refugees from Muslim countries, because then they will say you are Islamophobic, and then that’s the end of that discussion.
The same is true on many issues. Libeals label you as a bigot, and then you can’t discuss issues any further. Liberals set themselves up as some moral authorities on issues of bigotry, and being a bigot per their theology is the worst sin in the world. Thus they label you as unworthy of them deigning to even speak to you.
No, what was improbable was that White Voters would continue to vote against their own best interest and for increasing support (welfare, charity, whatever you want to call it); and what was improbable was that people who primarily work for a living can continue in a coalition with people who vote for a living.(That last part is not color dependent).
Now, for future election cycles, which is more improbable? That Republicans will learn lessons from this election cycle and continue to build the natural coalition, or that the Democrats can find a way to have productive members of society vote for "Rocky Horror Show" candidates?
How Democrats intend to keep defeating themselves:

They lose because they don’t cheat ruthlessly enough. At least, that’s what they’re telling themselves.
King Obama’s dopey Hopey-Changey left America hungry for real change.
Bill Clinton was smart enough to understand this as evidenced by his ridiculous attempt to peddle Hillary as a “Change Agent” at the democrat party convention.
No one bought it, especially those outside the ranks of the hard core democrat party faithful, but at least Bill read the tea leaves correctly and tried to move the campaign in that direction.
But from that moment on Hillary campaigned as the third term of Obama instead of an agent for change.
I’m glad no one bought what Bill was selling.
They made their contempt for working people evident.
It seems to me that everybody on both sides is misidentifying what is taken to be one of the primary demographics. I refer to the educated and the non college split. Most of the “educated” are not educated. They are at the most favorable. trained, less favorably we would say they are indoctrinated but other than the hard sciences and the white collar trades i.e accounting and business et al, they are NOT educated. Institutions of “higher” education are not in the business of education at all. They are in the business of training up the zombies needed in an oligarchic socialism. They are taught not to think and not to entertain any ideas other than what they are fed. They are denied access to history and geography and to Literature. They do not know what systems have worked and have not worked in the past. They are unaware of the consequences of anti rational systems. All they have heard or read is that one or two such systems have collapsed in the past but that the failure was due to the opposition of heartless enemies or that the leaders did not take their systems far enough..
Didn’t we just read the other day that the ONLY demographic that voted less for Trump than Romney was WHITES? Yes, blacks, Hispanics, and all others INCREASED for Trump. Yet we continue to get this “Trump voters are racist” crap. Talk about fake news. Truth is Hillary got less votes from all demographics in places where it mattered.
There's no going back for them.
The hate whitey program sunk them. Whites struggling for work do not need to hear the dems call for their unemployment and racial inferiority. They saw the inspired hate crimes and many were mistreated personally by “progressives”. Progressives are regressive in terms of wealth, race and sex.
” If this is true, the path forward for Democrats would be clear: recognize the anger, address the causes of the anger such as a “rigged” or “stacked” political system and a tax system that favors the wealthy. “
Democrats can’t do this. Their worldview and power depends on a system set up exactly this way.
The dem leadership doesn’t even know stuff like who the hell should use what bathroom. Trump incredibly might not know either, but at least he doesn’t seem to want to punish folks if they disagree with him about it.
Things like that turned off a lot of male blue collar white dems. I bet lots voted republican for the first time over this garbage, at least I have talked to many such in PA and NJ.
