Author makes a lot of good points. There’s a dam out there of non-white conservatism that is only held back because white liberals are so effective at painting the Republicans as racists. 2016 was a big breakthrough because Trump jettisoned certain aspects of think tank conservatism (trade, immigration, foreign adventurism) that were preventing the white working class from fully switching sides. The Trumpian GOP now has the white working class at the cost of a few think tank conservatives in New York, DC and California, where their votes don’t matter very much.
But if the GOP can conclusively break this stranglehold that the left has on non-whites, and I think they can, then you have the potential for a governing conservative majority that could last decades. It’s not easy though, there are billions and billions of dollars in media, education, organizing, corporate culture, etc., etc., all going the other direction.
Think tank conservatives are just opportunists, liars and parasites.
They were all going to vote for Clinton no matter what.
