Another Crack in the Blue Wall

Dario Morrow, CEO of FCB Radio Network and an African American, writes something relatively counterintuitive for Newsweek. The key thought:

As the Democratic Party started to cater more and more to white coastal elites, it revealed a deep tension between the needs of a mostly moderate Black community anxious for a fair shot at achieving the American Dream and a party catering to a college-educated professional class that doesn't think much of America.

It's something Hispanics began discovering two or three elections ago; they mostly came here for economic opportunity. It hasn't escaped their attention that Biden's inauguration coincided with a major drop-off in opportunity, plus problematic inflation for the first time in recent memory.

Who benefits? The GOP.
