The biggest issue that my leftist friends now realize they ignored

I don't normally talk about politics except on this board, but in election years I get into it a little more because it's the religion of most of my friends, and they haven't let up on the idea that racism/sexism/thisism/thatism/ismismism is what got Trump elected. There's one factor I bring up to them that makes them stop and say "Oh. Well yeah, that makes sense."

I tell them something like: "Like it or not, the majority of voters in this country didn't want Obamacare to begin with, and most of those people really didn't want tax money to pay for abortions, and none of them enjoyed their premiums increasing this year, and a lot of them actually can't afford those increases. If you can't empathize with that, nobody has a reason to empathize with anything you're saying."

In case anybody wondered what gets talked about during happy hour in America's biggest city and biggest Democrat hub. This is the one issue I've found that gets the "Oh, I never really thought about that" look.
