Lincoln Project nailed the contrast IMO.

I think that is part of it in some ways but let's also get real, a lot of women are also members of families where the typical male working class man is under more and more pressure. People across the board are under economic pressure.
Democrats can't fall into the same old trap and tricks vs Trump in key states. Jobs matter, working class people matter, policies that have affected them through no fault of their own from Republicans and Democrats matter.
If the Dems are thinking they are going to get away going into working class towns and telling them that climate change, shutting down coal plants, Trumps a con and that women's rights, trans rights, immigration rights and more resonate with people to the degree that some think they do, they might be sorely mistaken......again.
People get frustrated with issues when they start to lose control of their personal overall wellbeing. Being told that your coal job is going to go because of climate change is a tough pill to swallow. Reading that California based tech valley darlings are going to make trillions with AI and miss their own targets for emission reductions pisses people off. If you can't pay rent while working 2 jobs but I get to buy another Ferrari and a yacht, do you really care that Trump is a harasser and lied on financial statements?
I really think the Democrats focus like hell on economic issues, making lives better overall for people and staying away from a lot of the divisive issues. A lot of American's just have a feeling of being left for the trash and a guy like Trump actually cares with his messaging. I know it's BS but it's phycology.
Trump says "MAGA" Dems have a slogan of "We are fighting for the soul of America" What is that? Best quote I read from Democrat recently "If we don't smarten up, it's over. Trump is dodging bullets and our guy can't handle a flight of stairs"
