Remember when we were sold the idea that the nonwhite vote in general was hugely Democratic? Oh yeah, that was 2024, right up until the end. You can see the beginnings of the three-card monte back in 2012, Running the Numbers. The Hispanic and white votes were almost even that year. (Male-female and married-unmarried are bigger divides)
The death of Jacques Barzun at 104. I never did reread the book, and I know I won't now. I may have given it away by now.
Stereotype Accuracy. They ain't perfect, but they are a good deal better than nothing.
Norski ER - Anecdote Son #4 had a visit to the ER which reveals a seldom-noticed difference between American health care and the countries we are told to imitate. And maybe we should, but it is seldom as clear-cut and simply as we pretend.

The Democrat problems go back farther than 2012. I remember a Sean Trende post-2016 analysis that pointed out the Democrats were already losing non-college working class voters at the Presidential level in the 1990s. If you believe Ruy Teixeira, it seems to me that part of the reason he wrote The Emerging Majority was to get Democrats to not chase after college educated whites.
