In reply to the discussion: I've finally figured out normal white people. [View all]Lotusflower70
(3,077 posts)In regard to normal, normal is a relative term. To most Democrats, the normal white person you propose is not normal. But to most Republicans, their traditional values, 1950's mindset is normal. So we are operating from different beliefs and viewpoints and very different logic. Trying to reach out to their normal is like speaking another language. I don't know if I would put it at 70% but this election reinforced exactly what we are up against. I truly believe that there was no way that we would have had a Black male President and a white female President back to back. That was motivation enough for some people to vote for Trump. Some Democrats got comfortable and complacent after 8 years and assumed the next 4 were in the bag. Huge mistake.
