One Son Is Trans, the Other Loves Trump. Our Family Lives the Divide
Kamala Harris ("Why Trump may be about to stage the biggest comeback in U.S. history," by Andrew Sullivan in The Times of London).I shared it with a friend, adding I found it refreshing considering all The Hill, HuffPost type, fluffier articles I had been reading—the freebies from Apple News.My friend read the article and did not have the same reaction.
I said I'd read it again, which I did, and then I excerpted the parts that resonated with me just days before the election.The Democrats also missed a critical new reality in American politics: It's about class, not identity.The Biden-Harris messaging was directed to women, "queers", African-Americans and "Latinx" people.
Trump's messaging was about how well working-class people did before COVID, and how they could prosper again."Harris is for they/them.
Trump is for you" was a potent message. And if the polling pans out, Trump could assemble the most multi-racial coalition since Nixon, winning record numbers of black, Latino, Muslim, and gay votes.I have a trans son whom I love, support, and enjoy being around.
