I think people are more open than they used to be . I'm 66, and certainly what you stated has seemed true most of my life. But Obama got elected in 2008, and at the time I thought this country was too racist to elect a black man for President. I was pleasantly surprised to be wrong about that. I think a lot rides on the candidate--their message, oratory skill, and energy. And a majority of people in PA did vote for Shapiro to be their Governor not long ago. After 4 more years of either Biden or Trump, anyone that can speak in complete sentences will look brilliant.

There is no doubt that Obama had the oratory skills and message. I voted for him both times.
