The double standard, the underlying reverence to the patriarchy, and the fear of white majority slipping into the minority were the drivers to the loss.

Absolutely.
The media especially WANTED Trump in power quite obviously. It's viewed as good for business because Trump's chaos train of idiocy makes for a lot of reporting. He probably nominated Kash Patel on Saturday so he had content to watch on Sunday morning as all of the main cable news networks wrung their hands about how bad this is. It probably makes that tiny dick of his SO HARD having everyone freak out about his nominations.
The biggest lesson the Democrats need to learn is that there are no more rules. Throw them all out. You will not win if you try to play by them because your opponent doesn't.
