The myth of Democratic disunity

I am sure this is coded to mean ‘left-wing elites are disdainful of Trump voters’. This can be explained by ideological differences; the IQ part is not needed.

There was a popular narrative after Hillary lost that the Democratic elite was out of touch or had ‘lost the middle’. But Biden, who is cut from the same cloth, got a record number of votes just four years later. In those intervening years, with the rise of wokeness, campus protests, cancel culture, and BLM, left-wing elites had become even more radical and out of touch from the middle, but this did not hurt 2020 turnout.

On the majority of issues, there is perfect agreement or overlap, such as student loan forgiveness, abortion rights, civil rights, or gun control. It’s not like left-wing elites are that out of touch with working-class dems, contrary to the stupid-pol narrative. This claimed cultural rift or divide between working-class democrats and academic or political elites is mostly imagined or overblown. They fundamentally see eye to eye on all the issues, even if from otherwise different socioeconomic backgrounds.

On social media, there is considerable enthusiasm by working-class, average-IQ voters for Kamala despite her elite status. Same for Trump and his supporters despite Trump being an elite. Of course one can make the argument that identity politics is a distraction from more important or relevant issues, but this is not the same as hurting turnout, unity, or enthusiasm. Second, I don’t think voters actually care, or don’t see identity politics as a hindrance. They just want to see their team win.

It’s like, has he heard of Hollywood or the music industry? By his logic, the moviegoing public ought to boycott movies because wealthy actors are out of touch compared to their audience. In reality, moviegoers know actors are wealthy, and still enjoy watching their movies.
