New piece: Donald Trump’s infamous ’53 percent’ support among white women voters has evaporated. These same voters who helped elect Donald Trump in 2016 are set to retire him in 2020. matthewfmcdermott.com/blog/2020/6/15…
Arguably, the most striking change since 2016 is just how far Donald Trump’s support has fallen among white women.

In 2016, Trump secured a plurality among white women against Hillary Clinton.

Now, Joe Biden leads among white women voters by 13 points. Image
In 2016, Donald Trump actually did better among white women than voters overall.

But his approval among white women voters now stands at only 35%, weaker than his 42% approval among total voters.

So, what happened? Image
For really the first time in modern politics, Democrats are winning on the issue of law and order. 59% of white women voters trust Biden to protect Americans’ safety. Just 41% trust Trump to do the same. Image
This election is a referendum on Trump and, at the moment, white women voters who helped elect him believe he threatens the safety of the American people.

No longer is Donald Trump’s Republican Party seen as a reassuring vote choice. matthewfmcdermott.com/blog/2020/6/15…

Cory Booker has taken the Senate floor and plans to filibuster as long as he’s physically able to protest the complete disregard for the rule of law by Trump and Musk.

Watch here: c-span.org/event/us-senat…Image
Cory Booker on the Senate floor: “I rise with the intention of disrupting the normal business of the United States Senate for as long as I am physically able. Our constituents are asking us to acknowledge that this is a crisis. So I am going to stand here until I no longer can.”
Chris Murphy confirms he’s joining Cory Booker in solidarity on the Senate floor all night to protest Trump’s lawlessness and corruption.

It’s about time the Democratic Party come to terms with the fact that a vast majority of the American public lives in a media environment — from Fox to Twitter to podcasts — that functions as a Republican propaganda machine. Ignoring this reality is no longer a tenable solution.
Republicans aiming to dismantle the social safety net for a tax cut have poured billions into buying and building the most influential media platforms to spread fear and bolster their agenda. Democrats must get serious and invest in alternative media to counter this influence.
For more on the the asymmetry of partisan media ecosystems, worth reading this reflection from @brianbeutler.

It’s time for Senate Democrats to realize that they were given an explicit governing mandate by voters, and exactly zero of those voters will accept the filibuster as an excuse for legislative inaction.
Cannot emphasis this enough: Georgia, a historically Republican state, was given a choice between Democrats controlling the Senate to enact Joe Biden’s agenda, or divided government. Voters deliberately chose to give Democrats a mandate.
Senate Democrats are enabling Republican gridlock in a way that voters clearly and unequivocally chose to prevent just three weeks ago. It’s an insult to voters who expressed their desire for Democrats to control government and enact their agenda.

As the Trump presidency comes to a close, 390,000 Americans are dead, millions are out of work, and our democracy is at the brink of ruin.

To those pundits in 2016 who opined ‘How bad could a Trump presidency really be?’ know: You own this.
“Calm down! We’ll be fine!” they said.

“Trump preaches Kumbaya!” they said.

In the years after 9/11, every time there was a terrorist attack the media would ask ‘Where were they radicalized?’

Why is that question no longer asked? Fox News, OANN, right wing talk radio, Parler. That’s where today’s white supremacist terrorist is being radicalized.
The biggest national security threat facing our country today comes not from foreign-born assailants but from American-born white men. Yet police and press struggle to even call this threat what it is and call out the platforms radicalizing them.
If we are ever going to “unify” this country we need to be honest about what’s tearing it apart. An entire political party has been rotted to its core by nutjob conspiracy theories instigated by its propaganda outlets and bad faith elected officials.

Funny that the same pundits who spent four years urging Democrats to ‘understand’ Trump voters have no similar request for Republicans, after a majority of the country soundly rejected their politics.
In the weeks following the 2016 election, the press churned out dozens of sympathetic Trump voter profiles, chastising Democrats for failing to ‘speak to their issues.’ Where are these same profiles of Biden voters?
Where are the Biden Country stories?
