The faulty premise is that women are leaving the Republican Party, which is untrue. Single women are a growing part of the dependency class. The dependency class correctly perceives that Republicans are [roughly] a small[er] government party and that Democrats aren't.

The shift of single women to the Democrat Party to pay for their goodies is a matter of what they perceive as their short-term self interest, and is not "cultural" except in the sense that dependency is no longer regarded as deplorable.

That's really where we lost the "culture." Persuading the dependency class that handouts are neither in their real short- nor long- term interest is where we are failing. Nothing is free. Too many people lack fathers who used to impart that very simple instruction.

Excellent post.

We’re in our second generation of folks brought up in “progressive” education. It has been pretty effective.
