      Something that’s pretty striking to me: Given the very powerful influence the very rich and corporations have on both parties in a million different ways AND given the fact that the class composition of the two coalitions really is changing...<1/3>

      It’s astounding just how different the distributional priorities of the two parties are. The big, single signature GOP legislative achievement of 2017 was a *massive* historic tax cut for corporations and for very rich people. <2/3>

      The signature Democratic bill of this new admin in 2021 is the most aggressive rescue package for the poor, working, and middle class in my time covering politics. <3/3>

      If Biden & Powell can get to full employment & rising wages, then the GOPs gain among non-college will start to evaporate (at least in part).

          The infrastructure plan will help expedite that.

          I doubt it, maybe arrest the gains they’re making with Latino and Black working class voters for one cycle, but most of politics now is cultural. Working class people will vote with their peer group, not the party of CRT, abolish the police, highly educated Liberals.

          The child allowance will have an effect as well, people will say”Gov finally did something for me”.

          GOP is a religion at this point. It had nothing to do with reality.

          Maybe. If the currently-R-leaning non-college segments are open to consuming facts.

          It's been proven that economic prosperity helps the GOP wether they are in power or not. Compare 2012 and 2014/2016 and then tell me the economy is determinative of elections. You cant! 2018 the GOP likely repeats 2002 with anyone but Trump.

          Sometimes it is. Sometimes it isn't. It's always a factor, at least.
