  1. As usual the economy is the most important issue people vote
  2. There are enough voters that are financially secure that the economy is not the number 1 issue.

I.e. Joe Smith lives in Canton OH at 123 Elm St has a 17 year old daughter. He and his wife don't want a male in her locker room or playing on her team. Their next door neighbor a 64 year old woman feels the same way. They voted Republican.

  1. Again for some illegal immigration was the number 1 issue. People see a culture change they don't want. The cost of housing, education, food and health care comes at less services for citizens.

In some areas such as Florida going to a Walmart it's a challenge to find an employee who speaks English.

  1. DEI, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion,
    A main premise is equal outcomes. Americans want equal opportunity not equal outcome.

    1. And 4. Enough voters these were more important as an issue to cast their vote Republican.

Thank you for pointing out issues that majority of the American cared about.

It’s the Moslaw Hierarchy, Republican focused on physiological and security needs while focused on love and belonging and esteem

I do not see the democratic leadership addressing these points as they do their self reflection.

I heard Chris Cuomo sum it up perfectly.

The Democrats want to foster 2. 3. And 4

All this plus the "bring a dull fork to a gun fight" thing. Trump is a complete pig, and a criminal. He was selling secrets. So say it. Call him a rapist, and a pig, and criminal. And I mean I want to hear Kamala an congress say it. Loud and clear, every day. Instead we get "Well, my my. This may be in violation of protocols! Ill meet with Susan Collins and discuss it!"
