I think this is a very balanced video about the election. I don’t agree with everything but I think it is a perspective worth sharing for those both to the right and left of me.
Of all the narratives around Harris’ loss, misogyny and racism are the factors that fit the data.
when people ask me how Trump won, I explain that Americans care so little about women as a group that they’re letting them die in front of hospitals rather than allowing them to have health care.
“allowing” them.
so the party hoping to elect a woman president is at an extreme disadvantage.
I also think domestic and international election interference election interference plays a much more significant role in American elections than people think and in hindsight and future history textbooks, people will be shaking their heads, not just at the electoral college, but at direct election interference securing Republican victories.
people don’t think election interference is important because we hear the word gerrymander or social media bias or “Russian troll farms” and since they’re omnipresent, they’re dismissed, although they have direct practical influence on campaigns and election processes.
7% more women voted for Trump in 2024 vs. 2020. Trump has actually been gaining with women – and that’s not exclusively white women despite the current narrative. Trump actually lost support from white women for the first time since 2016.
20% more latinas voted for Trump than 2020. Trump has steadily gained Latina votes since 2016. 5% more Asian women. Trump gained support from women and people under 30 and most men. His biggest gains are probably the Latine and youth vote. Latinos shifted tremendously in their support of Trump.
Anyway, the point is, it seems as though an anti-woman political platform actually increases women’s support for that candidate. Obviously it’s probably reasonable to conclude there are other compelling issues, but the idea that targeting women in a political platform actually decreases overall support from people with higher levels of education, but not from women themselves.
FD Signifier is a top tier video essayist. Even when you disagree with him he at least makes you see his point of view.
Wokeism and identity politics.
…or you can keep harping about racism and misogyny and enjoy 4 years of J.D. Vance soon.

The most important part IMO.
