I'm sure you have no clue about what you speak.
You honestly believe the Trumplican Party is reflective of the composition of this country by any measure or that it has the desire to be?
It consists of:
8% of black voters
20% of hispanic voters
12% of asian voters
Trumpworld is the home of white identity politics and Floridaman plays the chords very well.
Trumplicans feel, to some extent, that the rug is being pulled out from under them — that the benefits they have enjoyed because of their race, their groups’ advantages, and their status atop the racial hierarchy are all in jeopardy.
That more attention needs to be given to the dire circumstances of working white men and women, Trump’s election was a white, working-class, often rural backlash and what is needed is a focus on Middle America.
