1/ I'm not quite a Republican but I am someone who sees a lot of potential in the GOP, wishes for the implosion of the Democratic Party and is extremely sympathetic to American Conservatism. With this perspective the beginning is absolutely beautiful & precisely the anger I sense

2/ not just in America in general but also arising within minority communities. You can almost view me as one of those minorities that Scott's plan says this can play well into. He's absolutely not wrong. The rage & discontent at the elites within our communities is at a fever

3/ pitch and if the GOP had any sense they'd stop flirting with the Steve King & start exploring how to rally us against the technocratic establishment. Even the Bay Area is ripe for this sort of strategy. You're telling me arguments & fear of gentrification can't be harnessed?

4/ This pandemic has brought out so many class conflicts to the forefront & the disconnect between Biden Liberals, YIMBI's, et al. is a very powerful Political force. Skepticism and anger over College, how it doesn't meet minority needs and it doesn't even matter as job markets

5/ swell up is an excellent strategy. Some of it is weird like his take on expertise markets but the shift from anti-intellectualism to a disdain of a certain professional class is the step that's needed. Dealing in blatant misinformation just won't cut it long-term.

6/ I see a pretty astute groundwork here that resonates with a lot of my experiences & the conflicts I see that have led me to be so against the Democratic Elites in the first place. This is pretty close to what I would write & the kind of goals I want to see Conservatives take

7/ All in all pretty excellent piece that has a lot of appeal to people & helps dispel the troublesome racism persistent in the GOP. I'd just add that more Nationalism is needed. Immigrants love the American Mythology. Time to play it up and make it more inclusive. Dems are

8/ making a very dangerous mistake in trying to eradicate National mythos from the narrative or to suggest that it's a White only phenomenon. Exploit the shit out of that and harness Nationalism as a counterforce to globalism and you have a solid strategy.

9/ One last aside but this strategy is also very solid for sucking away a lot of blue collar life long Dems. My step father is in construction and loves the Dems just because of their support for unions. Harnessing Unions as a way to fighting the elites can easily snag him.

Glad it was! I can expand on the discontent against Dem Elites if it would interest you/help. I'm at an odd position in that I got admitted to one of those top U's despite being here illegally & homeless. An anomaly of the system if you will. So plenty of first hand observations.
