When I look at the white electorate I see about 60% of it being genuinely deplorable and willing to vote Republicans no matter what. I see 20% who are "woke" and will vote for Democrats even if they disagree with them on economics. The remaining 20% are genuinely worried about the economy and are willing to throw people of color under the bus.
It's that remaining 20% that can swing everything for the liberal coalition. I think that if we off them the deal that we will never go backward on race and gender issues but we will take big and affirmative steps to improve your economic situation, we could capture that demographic subset and everyone, especially minorities would do better with Democratic super majorities.
I understand you and others' desire to see all Trump voters burn in hell but politics is about dealing with what is in front of of you and sometimes forgiving people who do not really deserve to be forgiven. I want Democrats to be more like Littlefinger and win and be less like Stannis and lose.
