re: #206 Amory Blaine

Urban voters can be energized to vote against rural areas. Discounting the illusions of every Cletus safari, this has not been the case. Dems have never gone to war against welfare farmers as far as I remember.

Dems need a good counter on the culture war; the Repubs are good at punching emotional buttons and that HAS to be countered on an emotional level—-and it’s not talking about the goodies in the bills.

Culture war is ultimately worries about the American way of life and if it’s going to go away. That’s an emotional argument. Counters have to be on that emotional level. Dunno what it is (maybe if POCs say, “Well, are you going to erase ME?”), but it has to be a gut level counter.
