Cannot Reply Return to Political

I wasn't able to read the whole essay (paywalled) but listened to the podcast this morning and thought it very interesting. Ungar-Sargon made particularly good points about the working class tiers, the impacts of unprecedented immigration on the working class, and the drivers of our political divides.

She was convinced, based on many conversations with conservatives, the Republican party was dead unless it moves its positions in line with Former-president Trump. I think I've heard that before but not so emphatically.

I agree, perhaps naively, that the Democrats OR the Republicans have an opportunity to reach a significant portion of the electorate (think she said about 70%) by adjusting policies to be more working class friendly. It's amazing that neither do.

Thanks for sharing. Bari Weiss is doing some excellent work.
