I don't know if I agree with that, but I would probably need to be more thoughtful on that.
Harris beat Trump with the younger woman demographic between 18 and 44 53% to 43%, but the older woman demographic was closer with 51 to 47 for Harris.
White woman of course Trump took 53 to 46.
Black voters strongly supported Harris 83 to 16 but Harris dropped from Biden's 91% in the last election, Trump increase from 8 to 16%
Trump gained in almost every demographic.
Latino voters Trump increased
Young voters Harris under performed.Harris dropped from 61% to 52%
I think its difficult to label 75 million voters as mysoginysts and racists considering Trump's increases in minority groups and with woman.
Harris didn't outperform Biden in any county, not one.
I think this points to the Democrats trying to drive a narrative instead of listening to the middle and lower class and what they wanted to hear.
I think that in terms of the argument that the last two woman have lost. I think we would need to analyze the campaigns that they ran. Hillary ran a poor campaign, and avoided campaigning in key areas, Harris I don't think ran a great campaign, and she didn't present well on the border issues, the economy, and crime.
Just my 2 cents.
