Democratic strategists are still patting themselves on the back for a catastrophic defeat.
I think Palestine was a demotivating factor for a lot of people, Michigan was still a pretty incredible outlier, but Trump picked up Muslim and Arab American voters across the board. A deciding factor? No, but a factor.
Now immigration… I’ve talked to people who’ve voted democratic by rote for their entire lives who voted for Trump over immigration. It was an extremely effective talking point that was ignored by Dems early on, then ceded to Republicans.

LIke Jews voting for Hitler.

Because they liked Donald Trainwreck’s Mass Green Card Policy? How idiotic can people get?

I don’t even think anyone thought that hard about it. Immigration scary, waves of immigrants coming into the country type rhetoric was enough. It’s not even about taking jobs, these people don’t engage with the fact that exploitation of mostly illegal immigrants is why they have available fruits and vegetables at all. Our entire food system is built on making immigrants do difficult, dangerous, and degrading work.
These people are worried about their taxes having to pay for illegals when they themselves are struggling. It’s wild shit!
