This was a backlash backlash.

Trump's 2016 win triggered years of cultural spasms (see: MeToo)

The country tried to purge itself of all sexism and racism bc it couldn't purge itself of Trump.

Because Trump got away with everything, nobody else could get away with anything. That led to an increasingly censorious culture among liberals. As much as liberals love to say that "cancel culture isn't real," cancel culture was obviously very real.

Again: Trump got away with everything, so nobody else could get away with anything.

Okay here's why this could possibly be an abortion election after all.

1) Abortion voters (including but not limited to: resistance moms, college educated men, young women) have a better track record of showing up to vote than the low-propensity voters Trump is counting on 2) The abortion debate is now about health care for complications during WANTED pregnancies. This makes it relevant *any woman who has ever been pregnant,* any woman who might become pregnant, and any man who might be a dad, not just liberal feminists

I think Harris’s chances against Trump are being way underestimated and here’s why:

1) She can run on the (largely popular) Biden-Harris agenda: huge infrastructure gains, big climate wins, student debt, etc…and can actually sell it because she can do public appearances 2) Trump’s big weakness is that he’s a convicted felon (which
many voters say is disqualifying). She is a prosecutor! She can drive home that point and make the race a referendum on Trump’s criminality, not Biden’s age
