“You can win elections by tacking to the middle; lots of people have. But you can also win elections by staking a moral position and convincing people to agree with you. You can earn support by demonstrating what is important to you instead of just being determined to nod along with what you hear.”

Men are shifting right because Republicans are making their lives worse and telling them to blame women and immigrants.

I keep trying to think about best case scenarios instead of worst case ones, and the best case scenario is the bottom dropping out of Trump’s support, ala post Jan 6th or W in 08. The problem is it’s hard to see that happening absent some big catastrophe that also causes huge amounts of human misery
