OT: American Politics

From the Wall Street Journal (saying what everyone here already knows but we don't hear it enough on toxic platforms )


Yet the convention’s unapologetic embrace of liberal causes, from abortion and gun control to climate change, was also a defiant insistence that their ideology is the new American majority, the new American normal—that it is those who insist on bygone gender roles and restrictive mores who are the “weird” ones, that a diverse, multicultural array of identities can lay claim to apple pie and the American dream.

If the sliver of the electorate that remains undecided is, as the analyst Amy Walter recently wrote, disproportionately young, female, pro-choice but pessimistic about the economy, the Democrats’ convention was targeted squarely at her.

And yet, one strategist noted after watching Walz’s rural Minnesota football-coach presentation, “We’re not giving up on white guys”—as long as they are the type of white guys who aren’t afraid to cry and support their wives’ careers.
