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.

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.

Yeah, people don't need to know about every specific example of the controversy, or even the names of the theories, to know that critical race & gender theory are pervasive & being rammed down their kids' throats. It's a fight we can win if we have a better spokesman.

Who do you see as a good spokesman for this? I know a lot of the fake religionists love Sasse, but he comes across as a prissy, bossy, arrogant schoolmarm, & decent people don't like that. Romney is shop-worn & has become what he decried. Have you anyone in mind?

I like Sasse a lot, but he's not going to be GOP POTUS nominee any time soon. Likely ditto Rubio. Larry Hogan should run for SEN. Romney has always been bad at this. We'll see. Possibles include DeSantis, Haley, Tim Scott, Cotton, Dan Crenshaw, Noem, maybe (less likely) Pence.

As I said, doing the same thing I was trained to do by a Vietnam military intelligence guy who became the most brilliant strategist in the labor movement, I think—looking at how the adversary wins, ie, you for me—if I’m you, I think Reagan/Ryan economics is a likely loser.

And that’s the gift that Romney (obviously, not a viable nominee) gave you—and, instead, you’re whining about labor force participation of working class mothers! “We”—the Dems, the liberals, the leftists beyond the liberals—would be thrilled if you run that play over and over.
