The NYT has an excerpt from my book today, on a topic of unexpected relevance to this morning’s Twitter controversies: how polarization and geography let Republicans, but not Democrats, abandon the center.https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/24/opinion/sunday/democrats-republicans-polarization.html …

Republicans, meanwhile, have a more homogenous coalition, and a path to power that doesn’t require popular majorities for the presidency, senate, or house.
