Her name is a pseudonym because she voted for Trump in New York City and has a business, which explains why I believe she is real and not a writer's ploy to express opinion as fact.
From the Fiscal Times:
Want to Know Why Democrats Voted for Trump? Ask Mrs. P.
As they navel-gaze, wondering why one of the biggest election machines in the country’s history lost to an under-funded, untutored, political outsider who was continually slammed by the media, Democrats should focus on -- Mrs. Perleman.
Mrs. Perleman, who owns and operates a successful skin care salon, voted for Donald Trump. She does not broadcast that decision because she lives in Manhattan and like so many others, has been shamed into hiding her choice. She is especially cautious since many of her clients are female and distraught that Hillary Clinton lost. (Respecting her discretion, this is not her real name.)The quotes from Mrs. P (and I think using Perleman was wrong because someone named Perleman might have friends who will think it is her) are pretty encouraging:
“I do not have a racist bone in my body. I am tired of being told that I am racist and that this is a racist country. It is Obama who has brought race back to the conversation and who has divided the country.”The article went on to discuss Obamacare's impact on small businesses.
However, considering this was the first time she voted Republican, Obamacare was not the problem. If it were
No, it was calling her racist and deplorable that doomed the Democrats.
I do not see how you turn that around. Democrats crossed a line that cannot be walked back without losing a black vote for every white vote you gain.
You see how racial identity works?
That's a lesson for the media. Why should I trust people who called me racist?

"Trump the Press" skewers media experts who wrongly predicted Trump would lose the Republican nomination. I use my deadliest weapon: their own words. "Trump the Press" is available as a paperback, and on Kindle.

ReplyDeleteConsequences can only be understood through rational thought. The left eschews rational thought for emotions, which is why they continually crap their pants & then cry about the mess: They are incapable of consequential thought.
The three components of rhetoric are ethos, pathos and logos. The libs are big on pathos. Good rhetoric requires a balance. When you spend a lot of time with your rhetoric out of that balance it's difficult to get it back.
DeleteI saw a cartoon a whole back where a boy went to school and was continually taught that he was a racist. When he graduated he walked out with a sardonic grin saying, "I'm a racist."
That's what the libs are producing. That where the white nationalist movement is coming from. By preaching to us that race is a social construct and is meaningless, and then turning around and making it a major issue in everything and bending policy to it, resentments build with the recognition of this contradiction and its consequences.
If you want any evidence that it's working out that way please note that Trump won among young whites, despite the fact that all the right people were calling him a racist.
They aren't racists now. Keep calling them that and they will be.
The Left seems to like "ration-of-****" thought when they think of any non-leftist or and "not as left as me"ist.
ReplyDeleteI like Mrs P.
ReplyDeleteShe sounds like an American.
She does, and there's a bitter irony in the fact that the Democrats and their supporters sound like Chekists.
DeleteThe path to electoral victory lies in accusing 75% to 80% of the country of the most heinous social crimes.
ReplyDeleteThat's true, because Hillary! campaigned on that!

What did the Dems promise the Blacks? Z.
ReplyDeleteWhat did the Dems promise the Latinos? Y.
What did the Dems promise the gays? X.
What did the Dems promise the students? W.
What did the Dems promise the poor? V.
What did the Dems promise the working class? Squat. Because the working class is racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic and whatever.
The Democrats have honed racism to a fine art in order to pander to the various factions and get their vote. Then they project their racism onto anyone who disagrees with them. This no longer works and they are having a difficult time realizing it. - Elric
