Interesting article from the Atlantic. This one supports my position that wokeness was a major factor in the Dems defeat last month. But one thing I wish it would have addressed as an example is the Native American switch, which was by far the biggest shift probably since 1932 of any ethnic group. Makes one wonder what pissed off the NAs about the Dems so much over the last 4 years hmmm (Probably not hard for us in this forum to know but the broader Dem community seems to still be in the dark about it).
