This is a great article imo.

Unfortunately it suggests the (only?) answer to Trump is to stop leaning so hard into liberalism. It should be more scary than it seems that it appears essentially impossible to attract ~40% of voters with liberal, "let's look after eachother" ideals. Scarier still is that the Democratic party seem - 2 years later - to be completely at sea over Trump, unable to do anything except react to his latest perceived gaff to an audience that wasn't interested in being accepting of others in the first place.

I don't know what the answer is really, because as things stand Trump 2020 is a very real possibility and it could happen simply because liberal minds are fixated on "this is the one, this latest scandal will see him ousted", completely missing the point that this article eruditely highlights.
Late response, but all this article does for me is encapsulate the very idea that conservatives and evangelicals as being the biggest whiny bitch babies on the planet. They control every facet of the US government but it's not enough. It will never be enough.

They have to control your daily and private life too through their oh so important draconian supreme court picks, and any attempt to stop them from harassing a minority or lgbtq or woman is oppressing their "religous freedumbs." gently caress em.

gently caress the moderate "free market" republicans who line up behind Trump as well because of the economy. loving tax cuts and 401ks in exchange for supporting genocide is morally repugnant; go gently caress yourself.

That author seems like he is yet another broke brained conservative who doesn't understand liberals and leftists don't give a poo poo about winning Trump voters; we outnumber them by a third.

Do you have a good link on the distinction because I'm still trying to figure out what part of the left I'm in. I always thought I was liberal.

Is Bezos so extremely cheap with his fortune that he won't even sue the president for attacking private businesses, which is literally illegal? Or are we somehow kidding ourselves by thinking it's the same thing as when democrats say that Walmart should pay livable wages or something?

listened to the audiobook American Nations by Colin Woodard, the reason Woodard give is that evangelicals are like that is because churches were not touched by the governments in the same way other local institutions were (Schools, local government), and previous to that, people in deep south states were essentially European acrostics who built their sort of kinghood out of slaves when they transferred to the south from the brutal harvesting of Sugar Canes in Barbads colony.

Taking that: they'll stop whining when everybody is their slave.
