      As usual with tribal appeals of this nature, observe the complete & total absence of discussion of (1) government policy on any issue or (2) Democrats' approach to constitutional governance, civil liberties, or other crucial elements of the classical-liberal order.https://twitter.com/Timodc/status/1363981287598354432 …

      Read @BillKristol on the weird absence of Joe Biden from the "whither #NeverTrump" discussions. Why can't anti-Trump become work-with-Biden? https://thebulwark.com/what-about-joe/?1 …

      This is basically written as a brief to Democrats on what you think they can get away with to keep voters who came to them via tribal dislike of the white working class, rather than a sincere argument re what Democrats actually offer.

      Lol. Yes Dan, it’s hatred of the white working class that caused this. Couldn’t possibly be the absolutely unconscionable choices of Republicans in installing a bigoted wannabe autocrat that drove these people away! They are the baddies!

      That's all that remains, with Trump out of office & the opportunity to check Biden & fight within the GOP to move on from Trump. There is certainly - and you make no effort to dispute this - nothing on offer from Democrats on policy that would attract a 2012-era Republican voter.

      Somehow despite being a national review writer you seem to misunderstand big swaths of the Romney coalition just as badly as the liberal media misunderstood the Trump voter. They are anti-white NASCAR hating bigots! In suburban Dallas!

      You're still missing the entire point: Democrats offer *nothing* to these voters. If any stay long term, despite getting nothing on policy & after Trump is gone, that can then be explained only by tribalism.

          What have they gotten by being in their first tribe the last 20 years? A dumb war chasing imaginary wmd costing thousands of lives and trillions of dollars, 8 years at screaming at the black guy, and a dumb game host starting trade wars.

          Policy arguments and what you can get is why Trump happened in the first place, that being turned around on voters who walked away and only highlights the problem.

          How about you come back before midterms and discuss this again. I jumped in 2017.

          What have REPUBLICANS offered these voters?!? Corporate tax cuts? Anti abortion theater? Play acting at overturning boogeyman Obamacare without any idea of what actual health care reform might look like? Switching parties is a momentous occasion, and isn't done lightly.

          I mean, those in Texas would probably enjoy a regulated energy market that doesn't fail catastrophically, then try to charge them thousands of dollars for doing so. You're not very good at this, Dan.
