Right, but it's what their news outlets tell them is going on. They fully believed Kamala was a threat to their gun ownership, and her race and gender (let's face it) was a threat to their ego.
That is all true, but it can’t be understated just how much people didn’t like her as a person. People didn’t really find her funny or charismatic.
Obviously policy matters very little here; personality is king and many Americans love Trump’s personality. It’s why none of the policy arguments do much to sway anything.
People like the man, and they can dislike his policies separately, but they only dislike the policies that really impact them personally in a negative way. They like the man enough to just support whatever less visible policies he has.
I think race, gender, class, and culture have a lot to do with these preferences.
> her race and gender (let's face it) was a threat to their ego.
Its more common for right wing parties to elect a female leader than for left wing parties to, so if you look at leaders of countries most women are right wing. So if anything it is the left that has an issue with female leaders, not the right.
But it still directly contradicts the assumption of the parent and I would agree that it is a wrong judgement. Probably more a sentiment that was widely spread in Trumps opposition and perhaps this lack of judgement lead to a loss.
