My dad was visiting and talked to me about his gut feeling that former President Donald Trump might win. He was clear about his choice to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris. But what are they doing? he asked me, exasperated.
People do not want to hear, 'Well, actually the economy is good.' Then suddenly he pivoted away from Harris to liberals more generally, and away from the economy into culture.
When Trump punches down at vulnerable groups of people, he presents himself as punching up at condescending cultural elites—the kind of elites strongly associated with the Democratic Party.
He was unhappy about all three Democratic nominees he felt obliged to vote for and deeply disappointed by the party.
