The Cost

What did the Democrats lose by embracing DEI, the trans madness, and the corresponding incompetence? The working class and abortion rights. They have no one to blame but themselves. They took their eye off the ball of important and popular positions. If Trump continues on his current path, he will retire a fabulously popular president and Vance will be lined up to succeed him for 2-more terms. And note, Vance will be popular amongst the working class and is the most strident pro-life major politician in a major position of power that I can remember. Dems will be missing New Gingrich and George W Bush who were willing to negotiate on the issue (and frankly, didn't care about it). Vance does.

I see precisely zero evidence the Democrats have any ability to turn things around. Their political hopes rest on unforced errors by Trump and the Republicans. Not a recipe for success.
