A lot of good research and analysis here. Thank you for it.

I don't believe it's possible to separate Harris's race and sex from the fact that the Democrats nominated her. She was a DEI hire as Veep and inherited the top spot on the ticket. But that's how the Democrats roll. A white man - Tim Ryan, say - might not have lost the election, but only because his nomination would have required the party to renounce its woke-ist agenda. And that wasn't going to happen, so the issue is purely academic.

I believe the first elected woman US President will be a Thatcheresque Republican who raised her own children and got into politics later in life. Maybe she'll be the widow of a conservative senator. That woman will be nominated for reasons other than her sex, and so her sex won't matter to the electorate. And she'll be white, because that's whom the Republicans nominate. (I'd say "Sorry, Nikki" if the woman weren't an unprincipled empty suit who backed a rapist for the White House.)

The attack on the advantages, fair and unfair, enjoyed by white and male Americans has caused those groups to vote disproportionally for Trump. Even the ones who cite "the issues," only believe that Trump can address them because they want to believe Trump can address them. There's certainly no evidence that he even cares about, much less understands, such things. Trump says its OK to be white and male; the Democrats say it isn't. Everything else is eyewash.
