Mr. Bruni is a collaborating opinion writer. Mrs. Goldberg and Mr. Stephens are opinion columnists.
Patrick Healy, the editor, in the main of the assistant opinion, organized a verbal exchange in line with the columnists of the opinion of the times Michelle Goldberg and Bret Stephens and the opinion that contributes with Frank Bruni to the disorders and demanding situations of the Democrats, while President Trump seeks control out of control. force.
Patrick Healy: During my more than 20 years of writing about politics, I have never noticed the Democratic Party in such challenges throughout the country. They lost the White House and the Senate and noticeably notice through a record number of electorate and out of tune in key questions, according to recent surveys. I think that the component of this is a challenge of accepting as true: you still listen to the independents and even the democrats sure that the components have tried to draw a fast from the United States through the cars around a cognitive cognitive president decreased, and then replacing a new candidate that the electorate did not make a tick. I think that is worse, and perhaps more sustainable, that democratic leaders do not realize, and those challenges make it more complicated for Democrats to counteract President Trump. How do you see the state of computors?
Michelle Goldberg: I agree that the party’s pain is deep, but I’m not sure there are reasons to think that it will last. After 2004, some other devastating elections for the Democrats, surely no one would have expected the Democrats to succeed 4 years later by appointing a senator of the first black mandate of Urbanean in Chicago whose moment called Hussein. After January 6, many of us were naive that Trump’s logo hurt irreparably. The only one consisting of American politics turns out that things tend to replace faster than other people expect.
Trump’s last management ended with absolute chaos, and the symptoms recommend so far that it will be worse. I don’t know how much he thinks about the age of Joe Biden in 2028, or even in 2026.
Bret Stephens: Democrats do not seem to realize how deeply they disconnect with this segment of America that identify through a collection of letters or neologisms: Bipoc, L. G. B. T. Q. I. +, A. A. P. I. , the “not erected”, the “undocumented” and so on. They have been lost in the bureaucracy of the identity policy that divide Americans into categories that many do not recognize or of which they feel excluded. And not only do I need to say White Americans, men and Christians. For example, I ask many Hispanics what they think of the term “Latinx”, an absurd term in a gender language like Spanish, and it is possible that you begin to understand why more than 40% of Hispanic men voted for Trumparray, they ask Many feminist what they think of the “birth people” or “people with vaginas” and can threaten a well -deserved slap.
Healy: I know many normal democrats who like those terms for the reasons you mention.
Stephens: Probably be right that maximum democrats do not use those terms. But it is also true that liberal elites do it. And this is what the average American electorate does not like: a party whose ostensible leaders lack the nerve or morality to progressive tide.
