… Demography as destiny underpins much of the Democrats’ optimism these days. That confidence is built on a foundation of census data and other trends that show a country that is becoming increasingly diverse and more culturally tolerant. The more Trump insults one group or another in this new America, the more Democrats assume the future will be theirs.
That ignores, however, the realities and the contradictions of the politics of this divided era — which have left Democrats in control of the White House and big cities and Republicans in control of both houses of Congress and a majority of state governments. CONT.
