Economy

As the various pundits digest the election a consensus is gradually developing. It has two legs. First Trump had the more popular policies for the border, the economy, law and order and foreign policy. This led to discussions about his personal character and personality quirks. Second the attempt at a cultural revolution was tried and failed. People did not want transmen in women's sports or bathrooms. They did not want gender surgery on children. They did not want men dressed as women dancing in schools. They did not want statues being torn down. They did not want streets and buildings renamed. They were tired of claims of racism and other isms. They didn't like DEI and CRT. While the democrats spent their time on the above by calling Trump names like Hitler and fearing the loss of democracy they lost track of things like the cost of gas and groceries. Many voters who did not like Trump either stayed home for voted for Trump because of economic issues. The old rule of its the economy stupid still held. The final result led to the working class moving toward the conservatives. The democratic governors met this week and concluded that they must get back to the old ways of helping the working people.
