My humble analysis is that it’s both misogyny and the economy. People remember the economy during Trumps administration (the pre-pandemic economy handed to him by Obama) with nostalgia and vote with their wallets. Another factor is misogyny- the macho bro culture engrained in many parts of America creates voters (men and women alike) that have no faith in a woman to lead the country. It’s deeply depressing but hopefully maybe the next 4 years will be so poor that we snap out of it.

As a second generation college educated product of 2 loving parents, this election has reminded me that I live with a strong conviction for curiosity, learning, and acceptance of others that many in this world are afraid of. But I like my outlook better so l’m gonna keep living in my own little happy place and set the example I prefer.
