I think this is spot on, though I'd probably broaden it a bit. People voted for Trump because they don't like the Democratic Party's vision of America.
When they listen to "liberals" in the media or to some politicians, they hear people's moral worth classified by their sex and ethnicity. They may have to listen to DEI classes that reinforce these divisions. If you're reading an article in the liberal press, and a sentence starts 'White men ..." you know it's going to end with a diss :-)
Democrats also ask people to sign onto ideas that probably don't make sense to them. It's perfectly reasonable to ask that transgender people not be discriminated against. But many people, myself included, think that it's simply wrong factually to extend that to say anyone can simply change from a man to a woman or vice versa.
Democrats have done some great things that they don't talk about very much, including the ACA, which provides real individual health insurance plans, and Biden's poorly named Inflation Reduction and CHIPS Acts, which are succeeding at starting rebuilding our manufacturing base.
Unfortunately, I think that it will take a significant cultural change in liberals away from treating people as parts of monolithic groups classified by skin color, ethnicity and sex before Democrats can really increase their political power. And I have no idea how we get there from here.
