Focused Hillary Read 3-5 minutes
“There's a new “silent
majority,” and it's voting for Hillary Clinton
Trump voters and Bernie
Bros get all the press, but it’s Hillary voters who are going to
win.
… The new silent
majority is quiet
Clinton
led in the Democratic primary from the first day to the last, and has
consistently led in general election polling since the beginning of
the campaign. Yet the Clinton voter has not made the same kind of
impression on the media, in part because the new silent majority
voter offers less visible evidence of being fired up and the new
silent majority’s signature politicians — Clinton and Obama —
do not do grand performance of anger, even at a time when rage is all
the rage in American politics.
This
is almost certainly not a coincidence. As Rebecca Traister wrote
after the Iowa caucus, “No one likes a woman who yells loudly about
revolution”:
And
no, it’s not just this woman. This is a paradigm; it’s
why Mom is the disciplinarian and Dad is the fun guy, why women
remain the brains and organizational workhorses behind social
movements while men get to be the gut-ripping orators, why so many
women still manage campaigns and so many men are still candidates.
Obama,
of course, is in a similar boat. Trump can deliver a speech
excoriating establishment elites in business and government who don’t
care about his people and sound like a populist champion to white
America. An angry black man talking about his desire to burn down the
system would sound like, well, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, whom Obama had
to loudly and immediately disavow to be deemed acceptable to a
sufficiently large minority of white voters to win.
There
is, of course, something lost in this. The financial crisis of 2008
and the ensuring Great Recession were genuine outrages, and it’s
understandable that many voters yearn for politicians who’ll give
voice to that rage. But ability to perform anger without coming
across as the wrong kind of person is still a privilege in the
21st-century United States, and the new silent majority values other
forms of representation that a woman can bring to the table over the
performance of rage that her rivals bring. ... "
