      This thread is really accurate and captures the essence of the flaws in Democratic campaigning, but it's worth also noting how these factors play with Republican strategy in the region.https://twitter.com/MTBinDurham/status/1012699558344777729 …

      On the one hand, this article and takes from @yfreemark and others are very correct, and it's a trend I wish had been better recognized before. But there's some technological fatalism here that doesn't recognize how Democratic strategies have helped create this alignment. https://twitter.com/nytopinion/status/1012267244397658112 …

      Fundamentally, campaigns have finite resources, so national strategies really often can't get into the weeds like this thread suggests. (Also, why local politics and gerrymandering are so relevant, but that's a different discussion).

      The GOP isn't engaging in highly granular microtargeting in these areas. Well, they are, but not how you thinkm

      A lot has been said about Facebook and Fake News and all that but these are merely extensions of a pre-existing phenomenon. What you ought to do someday is drive through the Valley and use your radio. AM, FM, doesn't matter.

      What you'll find if you explore long enough is that culturally, the GOP narratives are nearly self-sustaining. Talk radio. Christian radio. Church groups. Football games.

      These are all pre-existing conduits which whoch GOP messaging gets spread. And it's like a game of telephone! It doesn't even matter if what people are talking about is the same as what the GOP is talking about.

      What matters is that they *think* it is. Facebook and all those analytics didn't really do an advanced thing. They scaled this phenomenon, and they wrapped an API around it, but it was already there.

      It's not even proper to say, for instance, that Trump voters who are losing their jobs for his policies are overwhelmingly motivates by racism. That is a motivation, sure. But they are given to believe that he is acting along their best interest, even as they struggle.

      Because the alternative platform, the DNC's, is so alien that it cannot possibly be seen as an option.

      It's a generational struggle to consistently shift votes in these regions. And it may not even be worth it for a single presidential campaign. 5000 or whatever votes in Page Co isn't gonna make the difference.

      But it needs to be a long-term strategy to establish the conduits that the GOP is leveraging.

          Democrats don't need to compete with Facebook. They need to compete with morning radio.
