Make It Plain MIP with Rev. Mark Thompson

Trump Won. Now What? Part I


Listen Later

Markos and Rev. Mark examine turnout among key Democratic demographics, despite unprecedented enthusiasm and fundraising efforts, and specifically, why Latinos and white women, did not vote as expected. Markos shares insights into cultural aspects that might influence voting behaviors, particularly within the Latino community. Drawing parallels with his home country of El Salvador, he suggests how issues of safety and conservatism could sway voter attitudes, noting that Trump's promises of economic and cultural security resonate deeply with culturally conservative segments.

The discussion also raises questions about gender dynamics in presidential politics. The decline in support among certain demographics suggests underlying biases, posing the question of whether America is truly ready for a woman president. 

What went wrong in the ground game that had been so promising? How can Democrats more effectively take credit for their accomplishments to clear through the fog of misinformation?

Despite the disappointment, Rev. Mark reaffirms his commitment to social justice, calling for continuous action and vigilance. He recounts the historical relationship between protest and progress, reminding us that staying vocal and visible is crucial to the advancement of democratic ideals.
