It seems like what happened is that voters without economic knowledge think the president controls inflation, as opposed to it being the inevitable consequence of price rises worldwide due to a worldwide pandemic.
They don't like that eggs went up in price so they elect the opposite party. They think Trump will bring prices back down because he's a businessman, even though his tariffs will be hugely inflationary.
I'm not sure what kind of an honest DNC conversation would be able to address this.
I think this had very little to do with it. From the people I have talked with and also just looking at the latino vote i think people greatly underestimate how many people actually want our immigration system changed as well as being absolutely sick of identity politics.
Also your view that dumb voters led to this is counter productive and insulting. It is what I am seeing in almost every reddit post as well. “Well people are just too dumb to know what they need”… yeah ok.
