The Republican Party autopsy is due next year on why the GOP couldn\u2019t establish significant electoral gains with the gale-force political winds at their backs. I\u2019m sure candidate quality issues will be overemphasized over what appears to be gross incompetence and recalcitrance among the Republican leadership to assist their candidates in the critical stretches. However, the voter pool to wipe out Democrats in swing districts remains\u2014the party just can\u2019t put things on cruise control.<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Democrats know they have a working-class voter issue but can\u2019t address it since their base views these people as anathema. It\u2019s partially due to the snobbish attitude liberal Americans have towards those who don\u2019t act or think like them. They view this voter bloc, which numbers in the tens of millions, as uneducated country bumpkins. The lack of education disqualifies these people in their eyes. There\u2019s also a racial component. Democrats won elections big when they got a healthy share of the white working-class vote\u2014it was the backbone of the Democratic Party.<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Now, these folks are viewed as quasi-Nazis and eschewed aggressively by the white progressive professional elite that dominates the coasts and cities. Affluent, liberal, and overwhelmingly white Democratic voters would instead double down on nonwhite voters in the cities. For two election cycles, the hordes of white college-educated voters have provided something of a buffer, but that won\u2019t hold: nonwhite working-class voters are now veering into the GOP camp\u2014big league.<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>When both sets of the working class vote support Republicans, Democrats should take notice, but all evidence from past cycles shows that they won\u2019t. So, the GOP can run the table here, but it cannot be apathetic or carry a \u2018run-through the motions\u2019 aura regarding voter outreach with these folks. They must understand daily that the GOP will be the party for them, protecting their jobs and creating new opportunities\u2014things the Democrats are no longer good at accomplishing.<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Ruy Teixeira at American Enterprise Institute crunched the numbers. Ruy isn\u2019t a conservative either\u2014he was a former long-time fixture at the left-wing Center for American Progress before being cast out by the woke and unhinged youngsters at the think tank. His work on demographics has been well-cited on both sides, though he concedes the conclusions have been misconstrued, especially by liberals who have taken his \u201cpermanent political majority\u201d thesis as gospel. Teixeira always says they didn\u2019t read the fine print, which is that Democrats need significant white working voter class support to maintain this winning Democratic coalition. <a href=\"https:\/\/theliberalpatriot.substack.com\/p\/the-democrats-nonwhite-working-class\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Based on the numbers he crunched from the midterms<\/a>, not only do Democrats have the aforementioned white working-class deficit, but the dip in nonwhite working-class voter support also represents a second front in an electoral war the Left will be ill-equipped to counter if they focus on woke lefty initiatives. These include pronoun policing and enforcing an authoritarian ethos on political correctness that does little to help Americans find work:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>With all the Democratic back-patting going on, I\u2019m not sure they\u2019re really facing up to an emerging problem that severely undermines their electoral theory of the case. I speak of their declining margins with the nonwhite working class. That\u2019s not to say they don\u2019t still carry the nonwhite working class vote, it\u2019s just they carry it by a lot less. That wasn\u2019t in the \u201crising American electorate\u201d battle plan.<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>As I have previously noted, AP\/NORC VoteCast estimates the decline in Democrats\u2019 advantage among the nonwhite working class as 14 points between 2020 and 2022, 23 points between 2018 and 2022 and (splicing in some Catalist data, which are consistent with VoteCast data where they overlap) an astonishing 33 point drop between 2012 and 2022.<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n[\u2026]\n<p><span>Arizona. The 2020 Presidential election and 2022 gubernatorial election were both extremely close. Interestingly, while Democrat Katie Hobbs ran quite a bit ahead of Biden among white college voters, she actually ran 3 points behind among nonwhite working class voters.<\/span><span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>California. Gavin Newson in 2022 ran considerably behind Biden in 2020. One place where he kept almost all of Biden\u2019s support from 2020 was among white college voters. In contrast, he lost a lot of support among nonwhite working class voters: 14 points.<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Florida. Ron DeSantis of course ran way ahead of Trump in his 2022 gubernatorial race\u2014about 16 points. But he ran 27 points ahead among nonwhite working class voters. And he did 38 points (!) better among nonwhite working class voters this year than he did in his initial 2018 gubernatorial race.<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Georgia. Brian Kemp ran ahead of Trump in his 2022 re-election, albeit not on DeSantis\u2019 level. But he did 16 margin points better among nonwhite working class voters and, compared to his initial election bid in 2018, also against Stacey Abrams, did 27 points better among those voters.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Republicans still have a chance to seize these voters to win a landslide victory, but they can\u2019t take anything for granted, even if things seem inevitable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The recipe for a red tsunami was there in 2022, but it never materialized.
