Many Democrats continue to believe that the racism of average Americans — many of whom voted for Barack Obama twice — explains why Donald Trump won. This moralism suits party elites who would rather demonize the public than address growing inequality.
“I have a socialist axe to grind, therefore Trump’s victory is a result of his opponent not being a socialist.”
“I have a sexism axe to grind, therefore Trump’s victory is a result of his opponent not being a man.”
Just gonna put this out there. More Americans are sexist than socialist.
More Americans like baseball than soccer too, that doesn’t make either a primary factor in the discussion at hand.
Agreed. That’s why no one’s making that argument. Despite people acting like people are.
