Could a "Ford Nation" style coalition ever take off in the US?

I.e. multiethnic and suburban conservatives in opposition to hipster/highly educated downtowns?

If the right could get past its history in regards to race and gentrification strains the two halves of the Democratic coalition, I could see it happening.

One other thing.

Ford Nation relies heavily on Asians. Toronto has a higher Asian share than every American metro except Honolulu, while having a pretty small Latino population. You might be able to copy the strategy in California (which honestly seems like far and away the best state to elect a Fordish, what with the traffic, housing prices and wokeness), but it would need to be adjusted to fit Hispanics elsewhere.

Do you think that this strategy would be able to take off in New York?
