    There is plenty that they could run on, although I agree with you that I personally think it’s nothing. I’m sure they could just distort figures and run on an economic boogeyman to get at least 48% of the general population vote.

    I think the reality is that this doubling-down on culture wars is (hopefully) alienating the folks that swing elections – genuine independents in genuine purple states. That’s a small, very influential demographic. Is destroying leftism really going to resonate with them? I don’t know.
