Strangest thing I've seen since I wrote an article about how Trump lost *some* white working-class support is a vehement denial that this was possible. The irony of this argument is that it would prove Jared Kushner et al correct: WWC is naïve and will take any abuse 1/
That was the prevailing attitude within the admin among senior advisors. White people are trapped, they are dumb, they have no choice but to vote GOP, and they will take any abuse. So rather than considering why any number of WWC voters may have defected... 2/
...we are now vehemently denying that this is at all possible. Worse, the very idea that maybe some WWC people in the Rust Belt may have stayed home or flipped for Biden after being neglected for four years angers people to the point where they don't want to hear about it 3/
So we have to tolerate Lil Pump and Ice Cube becoming the face of MAGA and all these horrendous policy items, but the WWC has no right to be angry, no legitimate reason to be angry 4/
In other words, because of fraud, which happened and I wrote about, we are going all-in on the lie that the campaign was not a disaster, that the admin did not lose its way, and all information to the contrary is fake 5/
So increasingly we are merely defined our opposition to "the left," i.e. if we do a thing and the left criticizes it or freaks out about it, then it must be good. Consider that the they criticize literally anything that we do... 6/
A lot of the right people seem to understand that Trump did in fact lose his way. That the WWC was neglected. That the GOP is playing up its new status as the woke & diverse party for the most cynical reasons...and yet a lot of people are pushing hard in the opposite way 7/
