      Or take interest de regiodoty (correlated here and all over the world with reactionary, conservative politics): the trend line is bad for yiu here, non believers are increasing as are “softly” religious. Take Biden’s Catholicism as a cultural marker, eg. You think he’s not a

      a “real” Catholic because he disagrees with Church on abortion. Fair enough—but you’re in the minority even there among Catholics! I know a *a lot* if Catholics (starting with my wife—who can match you parish for parish and parochial school for parochial school, incl. college).

      She think only fanatics would deny Biden’s Catholicism—and a majority would agree with her. So, on one hand, your economics and social welfare policies are utterly unpopular. Otoh, so are your culture war issues, but intensity gets yiu ti a slightly better place. You may never

      again see a majority of Americans who support anything close to your version of conservatism again—but counter-majority institutions (courts, senate, gerrymandering in state/House level, voter suppression) will keep you viable. But Reaganite hegemony? That’s over.

      I agree with much of this, but I think you’re overstaying the extent to which wokeness has won the day. Trans in the military is one thing, on your daughters track team is a different one and the lefts new “anti racism” is not as popular as the media make it seem.

      Replying to @BlueBoxDave @baseballcrank and

      I think the gendered culture war stuff is issue by issue—obviously, ssm is an acknowledged conservative defeat. Anti-abortion rights has powerful preference intensity on its side (the people opposed are *really* opposed), but it’s not a majority position. And declining

      How about critical race theory? Taking down statues of Washington, banning books in public schools, and dismantling merit based elite public schools or defunding the police?

      Changing school names re Lincoln/Washington is nutty nonsense and a gift to conservatism, but again, it’s not an issue that will motivate most people. You know you and I could argue about the 1619 project forever, but I’d guess only 15-20% of Americans have even heard of it.

      They hear it about it when their kid comes home from school having apologized for his white privilege.

      Replying to @BlueBoxDave @baseballcrank and

      Yeah, but that’s not the enormous game changer you think it is—most parents, especially working class parents with kids in public school, are concerned with the basic stuff for their kids—homework/basic, standard subjects being taught, etc, of kid us getting good grades, etc.

      Which is precisely why teaching kids to be woke instead of teaching them to read, think, & add - instead of letting them attend schools of their choice, or even any school in-person at all - is such an indefensible proposition.

          It doesn’t matter if it’s indefensible because it’s not a primary issue—it’s background noise for parents and the parents who are most involved are on a left-right spectrum if the professional-managerial class, not wc—people like you vs people like your analogues at The Nation.

          That’s why the threshold majortarian politics for conservatives today isn’t that stuff, but wages, health care (total fail and sheer indifference) and Romney’s child care plan—which (brilliantly) hurts Dems with its funding! @DouthatNYT gets this—do you?
