Noah Smith added,
I feel like Judis and Teixeira did America a double disservice. By convincing both parties that ethnic bloc voting + demographic destiny = permanent Dem dominance, they made the Dems complacent and the GOP insane and xenophobic.
Need more here. Buchanan, a proto-Trump, almost won the GOP in 1992, a decade before Judis/Texieira. The GOP would be on voter suppression and carceralizing immigration no matter what Dem strategists wrote in the early aughts.
Buchanan didn’t come close to winning in 1992 (only did well in New Hampshire) and while his version of conservatism was always there, another one was possible at the time. See William Weld in the 90s. Noah may be overstating things, but Judis/Teixeira thesis damaged Dems.
Yes, Mike, I thought it was weird that you said Buchanan came close to winning in 92. He did not come close to winning in 92.
Fair enough on 1992, it just took an extra 24 years for him to actually win the entire GOP and, as far as I can tell, the future of the conservative movement.
24 years is a long time!!
