How a Wave of Minority Support Propelled Trump to Victory

Interesting to watch the Democratic blame game. They want to blame Harris, her VP pick, Biden and the list goes on. They still don’t get it! It’s their woke ideology and their stupid policies on economics, border security, crime, foreign policy and virtually everything else. They cater to the elite celebrity set while ignoring every issue faced by average citizens. They call us garbage, nazis, fascists, deplorables and existential threats to democracy, then expect us to vote for them. They think we’re stupid. Harris even called 18-24 year olds stupid but somehow expected them to vote for her? And now they’re trying to figure out why they lost. Somehow they must have missed Trump’s comments about common sense. It’s doubtful they’ll learn anything before the next election cycle. They do not appear to be teachable.

As a “boomer” woman physician I care about issues pertaining to women ie equal remuneration for equal work, job opportunities commensurate with relevant skills, womens’ sports NOT being hijacked by biological males, and reproductive rights within reason.However, it is disturbing to me that young women seem to have voted for Harris based on her being female- ie the desire to see a woman president- Her abysmal performance and lack of clarity on policies, her prevarications re Biden’s cognitive status, her obvious inability to handle the border crisis which Biden assigned to her, her inept interview performances - should have been observed by this cohort and the numbers of young women voting for her should have been considerably less. Trump, with all of his peccadillos is clear on economy, borders, internal security, and clarity regarding the Middle East , Iran, Russia, and China. His blowout win demonstrates what America needs to heal.

I think that not reporting that Harris called for ceaseless fighting against the mandate given to Trump by the American people in her so called concession speech is "fake news." She spoke out of both sides of her mouth and everyone is letting her get away with it. Her calling for peaceful acceptance of the election results from one side of her mouth and for fighting the will of the electorate through our courts and institutions from the other side is strategically duplicitous. To not call her out on this is giving cover, legitimacy and unchecked power to continue the progressive left divisive and dangerousagenda.

Woke is dead.... Common sense has returned....

Amen Rich Henke. The Dems are calling for a “ full party reckoning”, but so far they are just pointing fingers and blaming the ignorant, biased voters. Self examination seems not part of the reckoning. Occasionally the truth comes out, as when MSNBC’s white male Scarborough took blamed the loss on racist and sexist men of color. Wow! Talk about white privilege! No matter who you are, or what your reasoning, if you disagree with the Dem establishment, you are condemned for your unredeemed “isms”. The philosophy really seems to be if it isn’t working, it’s time to double down. Is it any wonder they are puzzled and shocked by what just happened?

I still hope for the day when race and color will not be a playing factor in leadership. America is and has always been a melting pot; yet we hold so many prejudices against one another.

Great responses below. My only addition is to remind my fellow white conservatives of how important it is to welcome and foment the addition of more latinos and blacks to conservative ideology. They are generally conservative folks, we have to show them that their values are most valued by conservative ideology

Trump's message was on target for the majority. Harris was a miss step for the democrats. She came in well behind Biden in the primaries (10th ?). An additional problem was the vp pick. Overall the Harris campaign had all the sophistication of a pass play designed by Woody Hayes (sorry if you're too young to catch this reference). Who in the dnc missed the boarder problem and the price of bread?
