President Trump showed major improvement in minority votes relative to Romney in 2012 and himself in 2016. Article discusses that and suggests the excesses of the far left white liberals who direct the party are part of the reason.


"...In a post for Slow Boring on how Democrats can win more elections, Matthew Yglesias offers some concrete suggestions for the party's candidates:

Say you think it's dumb that they are putting warning labels on old TV shows like the muppets. Just let people watch stuff.

Say you don't think it's fair to call people racist when they worry about crime or illegal immigration — these are things lots of folks worry about, and the government owes them solutions.

Especially if you are Vice President Kamala Harris, a former elected official from San Francisco, say that canceling Abraham Lincoln while keeping the city's schools closed is the kind of dumb **** that makes people think Democrats can't govern, and you're mad about it.

I would add that Democratic candidates should fire any staffer who advised them to use the word "Latinx." That this term, which only about 2 percent of Hispanics actually like and use, has rapidly taken hold in mainstream media, is a powerful example of how campus culture has quickly come to dominate elite institutions, contrary to the wishes of actual minorities."

Of course it is. There was a shift. The issue is can the Rs take advantage of this in 2024 and get someone who is in touch with minorities(they don't have to be a minority tho) yet doesn't put their foot in their mouth?
