That is the default. However, the suburban, middle of the road white Democratic voter craves the approval & fears the disapproval of progressives, but not of conservatives. Especially because the former are in the building.https://twitter.com/janecoaston/status/1296106506782482439 …

I agree completely. I wasn't trying to bait you into saying "it's Trump." I'd argue that it is the longer term process by which "conservatism" went from "like Buckley and Reagan" to "like rural evangelicals, racists, anti-intellectuals, and kooks." Gingrich owns a lot of that.

And I'll add: That's not even fair to a lot of good people who are conservatives. But when you shed many of those people and the dominant voices become Buchanan and Gingrich and Jordan and Gohmert and eventually Trump, *of course* normals in the suburbs recoil. Began long ago.

I will add one thing: I was a Republican when the first W administration started. I left because of torture (mostly) and Iraq (not the war but the incompetent occupation) and never looked back. But torture lost me, and it lost a lot of people.
