The Great Republican Revolt

[ElectionsGuy]

No joke I actually read the whole thing two days ago and was fascinated. I contemplated about sharing it here. It explains in such a good way the development of Republican voters, and how they are increasingly becoming the party of working class whites with lower educational attainments. More importantly though, that a huge portion of Republican base supporters are not what we thought they were. A majority of the Republican Party base is now more united by nationalism, nativism, and (I don't want to say straight up authoritarianism, but...) "we need a leader" rhetoric, rather than free market economic principles and constitutionalism that the tea party pretended to represent. While I don't think the portion of the Republican party that thinks this way is a dominant majority (which I will for now on call the 'Trump' wing), I think it is a majority and it will keep having its influence in elections to come. And we will continue seeing the giant disconnect between the base of the party and the party elites until they (the elites) wake up and smell the anger.
