Recent headlines?
Latinx, drag queens as family friendly content, overreach on dilution and removal of gendering (no more daddy/daughter events), politicizing sports, politicizing popcorn movies, censorship of standup comedians, social media bans, student loan forgiveness pitches. Anything that looks like a bailout to the rich and upper middle class, including for homeowners.
- jayd16 7y agoWith the exception of maybe loan forgiveness, none of those are party or candidate talking points. The rest are social issues and mostly gender issues so I don't really understand what middle class or white hat has to do with it. Was that just code for social conservatives?
- toasterlovin 7y agoWho do you think the social conservatives are? Because they’re certainly not the highly educated, urban whites who make half of the white Democrat constituency. Then you might argue that this has nothing to do with whites, specifically, but as the article’s author notes, probably the only reason that this hasn’t completely alienated black and Latino voters is because they’re already used to being alienated and don’t see the republicans as a viable alternative. But whites don’t have the same things tying them to the democrats. FWIW, I think there’s a good chance the republicans will start figuring out to flip Latino and Asian voters by appealing to social conservatism.
