Last week's Pod Save America was right: Republicans wouldn’t be screaming like stuck pigs about culture war issues right now, if we didn’t have them on the ropes on the economy. Not to be Panglossian about it, but I reiterate that I believe Biden is still on the right track.
You could try the Signorile Report, a former journalist writes it. I would have also suggested Margins by Ranjan Roy and Can Duruk, but they seem to be on hiatus. There is also Proof, by Seth Abramson, though I haven't read much on it.
Thank you for the insightful part about “We tend to assume that our opponents are like us”, and how the Republicans should instead think of Democrat as "decentralized despotism" (sorry Uncle Yarv), okay maybe not despotic, but collective stupid.
> Democrats intuit that ... most Republicans must be motivated by more sinister things like bigotry, because how else could they buy something so patently false, hook-line-and-sinker?
Maybe most Republicans aren't aggro culture warriors, and are just slightly concerned about the liberal coalition went stupid, whilst not having a coherent collective spirit? And this type of concern isn't as active ("hot" war) as liberals think, and more of an ambient stalemate ("cold war"?).
Alternatively, does this not correspond to ACX's Red Tribe and Blue Tribe distinction?
I somehow kept my liberal head about me, despite the fact that, as a 69-year-old, I must have done at least some lining of my brainpan with lead.
I guess I just got lucky?
Nice. But you lost me on the 3 letter acronyms. On a less busy day I take time to look them up:). Subscribed!
