I remember how in 2016 many Democrats vowed to learn the lessons of their loss by listening to white working class Trump voters, but eight years later a larger prom of Democrats seem just as mystified by Trump‘s second victory, as by his first.

They are living in their own little bubble, and every time that bubble pops, they decide to blow it up again, rather than entering the reality that most of America lives in.
