David Frum: The Great Republican Revolt
By Hunter Wallace
In The Atlantic, David Frum has written a fairly good analysis of why Conservatism, Inc. just doesn’t get it:
“The angriest and most pessimistic people in America aren’t the hipster protesters who flitted in and out of Occupy Wall Street. They aren’t the hashtavists of #BlackLivesMatter. They aren’t the remnants of the American labor movement or the savvy young dreamers who confront politicians with their American accents and un-American legal status.
The angriest and most pessimistic people in America are the people we used to call Middle Americans. Middle-class and middle-aged; not rich and not poor; people who are irked when asked to press 1 for English, and who wonder how white male became an accusation rather than a description. …”
I agree.
If the GOP elite is going to continue cucking the conservative base in the 21st century, it is going to at least have to concede the immigration issue as Ted Cruz has done. Frum is also right that Mitt Romney’s position on immigration – which he “pivoted” away from in the general election – is the only reason he performed as well as he did with White voters in the 2012 election.
