Can you feel pride in being a white male? 

The above question starts to get to the heart of the matter. Folks have probably heard of the famous line that supposedly defines elections: B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 the economy, stupid!" A phrase coined by James Carville in 1992. Well, as a white male, I am here to say that, B次元官网网址淚t's who we are, stupid!B次元官网网址�

The biggest thing that defines Donald Trump is that he is anti-woke. Indeed, at the level of voter identity, we can say that pro-Trump equals anti-woke. And the opposite holds. To be woke is to be anti-Trump. Thus, we can say woke equals anti-Trump. What has happened to America over the last decade is a fundamental split in identity between woke and pro-Trump.

Make America Great Again essentially means letB次元官网网址檚 get back to feeling pride in America and allow, without shame or guilt, pride in being a white American male. Woke essentially means that America is a colonial force that privileges white men over other groups and that we need to acknowledge that historical privilege and take anti-racist actions to reverse it. Thus, American white men should be treated with suspicion, especially if they fail to B次元官网网址渦npackB次元官网网址� their white privilege and feel guilt and shame for the past sins of white men.

Economically, people have seen inflation in their everyday lives and feel the financial stress on their pocketbooks. Psychologically, people are seeking clarity about their identities in an age racked with confusion. Kamala Harris lost because she failed to clarify why things would be different regarding inflation and did not do enough to address concerns about Woke 2.0. Trump won because he is a remarkable grifter, and there are real dangers associated with extreme wokism, and his business persona makes people think he can address the economy in a better way.

His basic character structure is clear and time will tell if the country made the right choice.
