What I really worry about

November 10, 2024

So the “election from hell” has come and gone and we all know what happened. We all know about the allegedly “anti-trans” ads the Republicans ran in the lead-up to the election and that American opposition to “gender identity” played a role in the outcome. According to recent polling:

The results paint a clear picture: Democrats were punished for inflation, misalignment on immigration and cultural issues, and Biden. The top three reasons not to vote for Harris were:

'Inflation was too high under the Biden-Harris Administration' (+24)

'Too many immigrants illegally crossed the border under the Biden-Harris Administration' (+23)

'Kamala Harris is focused more on cultural issues like transgender issues rather than helping the middle class' (+17).

This suggests that Harris was weighed down heavily by the Biden administration, particularly by inflation and their track record on immigration. Harris was also weighed down by voters’ belief that she focused on liberal cultural issues. In fact, this was the most frequent criticism among swing voters who broke for Trump (+28).

The election outcome was not a surprise to many of us who follow this topic. WDI USA conducted polling last fall that makes it perfectly clear that American voters across the political spectrum know that the word “women” means adult human beings who are female. If only someone had tried to warn the Democrats …

We also know that Donald Trump has made promises to “get trans insanity out of schools,” “stop Joe Biden’s cruel policies on so-called gender-affirming care,” and “keep men out of women’s sports.” But will he deliver?
