    Whereas the incredibly close elections like 2000 or 2016 could be blamed on basically any one group as pleased the accuser, this one is an across the board loss. That’s not going to stop the moderates from trying to scapegoat minorities though, because otherwise they might need to address that a dedicated dive to the center was an abject failure.

    Next up on the list, the trans people, who despite being entirely ignored by the campaign are clearly the people who need to be shoved back in a corner for the convenience of white moderates.

      Some Dems have already started to blame focusing on trans people’s basic rights as humans as the reason they lost.

        Step 1: Avoid anything related to social justice for the entire campaign and never forcefully counter conservative narratives about vulnerable populations.

        Step 2: Blame being too woke for losing.
