Matt Goodwin: Trump’s ‘Great Realignment’

Interesting. An extract:

“Look at the dynamics of Trump’s support and you’ll immediately see how he doubled down on this, mobilising the very same groups that were pushed rightwards by this emerging shift eight years ago and which first propelled him into the White House. According to exit polls, he performed strongest among White, male, non-college educated, and middle-aged Americans, the same groups that first powered his rise. He won nearly 60% of White men, two-thirds of White Americans who have not gone to college (and who the elite graduate class routinely forget outnumber them), and nearly 70% of White men without a degree. This is the backbone of the Trump revolution. [J4MB emphasis]

And when it comes to families, Trump did best of all among Dads –hardworking, taxpaying, patriotic men who are worried about their diminishing ability to provide for their families amid a rampant cost-of-living crisis, and who also worry about what a future of mass, uncontrolled illegal immigration, broken borders, rampant urban crime, and woke ideology means for the most important people of all: their children.

This isn’t just about men, though, despite what many female columnists will try and tell you in the coming days. Why? Because Trump also just won over 44% of all women, more than half of all White women, and 62% of women who do not have a degree, while also doing notably better among married than unmarried women. Yes, young college-educated women are moving sharply leftwards but Trump, much like conservatives elsewhere, is still winning over enormous numbers of women.”

One thought on “Matt Goodwin: Trump’s ‘Great Realignment’

  1. On the data I saw it was interesting that Trump made huge strides with “latino/hispanic” men and even a big increase in “black” men. And even amongst women only 20% said abortion (that apparent litmus test of “women’s rights) was a factor in their voting. Could it possibly be that feminism isn’t so popular as the laptop types think?
