UC-Berkeley Profs Say Trump Won Because of Sexism, Racism, Conspiracies, Anti-Trans Hate
“This new administration will be staffed with conspiracy theorists like Stephen Miller and RFK Jr., who promise to deliver Trump’s vengeance”
There are a lot of people on the left in higher education who have absolutely no idea why Trump won. That’s how you get this.

Parade of UC Berkeley professors say Trump won thanks to sexism, racism, conspiracies, anti-trans hate
UC Berkeley scholars blame Donald Trump’s re-election victory on a wide variety of identity politics issues, from sexism and racism to conspiracy theories and anti-trans hate.
Berkeley’s official news outlet published on Wednesday a series of interview vignettes with nearly a dozen professors, and they all suggested Trump’s “decisive” victory exposes sinister parts of America’s underbelly.
None cited the porous U.S.-Mexico border and the Biden-Harris administrations hyper-lax border policies dealing with illegal immigration as having played a role. While two of the scholars did cite the sluggish economy as part of Trump’s path to victory, they did not stop there.
It’s not just “the economy, stupid,” said Professor Raka Ray, dean of Social Sciences.
“I would never discount the racist and misogynist rejection of a Black and South Asian woman; the deliberately circulated fears and lies that fed the wounded racial and masculine identity of particular demographic groups; the willingness of some immigrants to shut the door behind them; and the bogey figure of ‘trans’ that came to stand in for historic changes that were hard to grapple with,” Ray said.
Although Trump faced punitive “lawfare” campaigns from both the federal and state level over the last four years, political science Professor Jacob Grumbach, leader of Berkeley’s “Democracy Policy Lab,” said the “election has made clear that a majority of Americans are willing to vote for a candidate who threatens the rule of law, a serious concern of the Founders.”
Michael Mark Cohen, associate teaching professor of American studies and African American studies, said “once again we will have a conspiracy theorist-in-chief.”
“…This new administration will be staffed with conspiracy theorists like Stephen Miller and RFK Jr., who promise to deliver Trump’s vengeance,” Cohen said. “…But now, instead of this being a fringe fantasy, Trump’s authoritarian, if not openly fascist, conspiracy theories will be backed by the might of the American Empire.”

Every election cycle.
Democrats and the Left are blaming Harris’s loss on Joe Biden, sexism, racism, fascism, Nazism, and just about any “-ism” they can dig up or invent.
They can’t bring themselves to consider that maybe they just had a really unlikable candidate, with a horrible track record on the Constitution, Bill of Rights, and individual freedoms. She ran on a platform the majority of the country opposed, and the people didn’t trust her. To top it off, her running mate was an equally unlikable nutjob with a questionable history on just about everything.
When Democrats lose an election, they blame the voters and the country in general for not being smart enough to recognize how brilliant they are and agreeing with them.
When Republicans lose an election, they tend to ask themselves where they failed. Was their message and vision for the future somehow flawed, or did they just not explain it well enough?

We should encourage this.
Agree, heartily.
Then add, “And this marks only the beginning. Wait until you see the social and media rebound we have planned.”
If we do it just right, we may be lucky enough to see a hiccup in suicide by cop.

What was it that Obama said elections had?
Maybe the evil no-good sexist misogynist Trump administration can do whatever it may be able to do to reform family court so the evil terrible men have a chance in hell of getting a decent treatment when they have a divorce.
Once again, a U.S. professor from an accredited university distinguished himself in public. Such erudition. I am in awe.
It’s no wonder that it costs so much to attend university in the USA — to be exposed to such wisdom from such thoughtful, well-read professors. Lolol lololol
Does this place also pay for university students to play and travel, travel and play? I’m guessing that yes it does.
“Parade of Berkeley Professors”…is that a new media term for “A Lineup of Asylum Inmates”?
