“where members voted 1,481-984 against defining woman as “born female,” allowing trans members of the DAR to remain.”

The vote wasn’t even close.

I don't know who runs the DAR, but I imagine they are heavily concentrated in the Northeastern and South Atlantic states and are to a great extent middle class or better women from suburban areas who belong mainly to liberal mainline Protestant churches. Their mothers and especially their grandmothers were Rockefeller Republicans in the Northeast and Bourbon Democrats in the South Atlantic states. The Northern branch of these voters, who kept places like the Philadelphia Main Line, the Hudson Valley, and Northern New England solidly Republican until the 1960s, has now affiliated with the Democrats. The Southern branch defected early to the Republicans, but disapproved of the rise to power of evangelicals from the upland South in the GOP.

Their work is crap, too. The first one I ever looked up was in error.
