Is “hope” dead (as a political theme)?Bob & I discuss @Newsitemsellis’ “hope lane”–it was a useful discussion, for me at least. Starts at 1:44:50. https://t.co/Ad52vb8bzW

The trouble is optimistic GOP ‘hope’ candidates tend to be people who say lower capital gains taxes and open borders will work out because … hope! Think Kemp, Ryan, Jeb! If you think mass immigration will screw working class, you just aren’t hopeful enough. … https://t.co/r2qJn2olkE

Ferguson: Populists don’t “deliver on their promises.”
Also Ferguson: Under Trump “median household income rose by 9% in real terms between 2016 and 2019 — ending 17 years of stagnation — and…full employment with no rise in inflation was achieved.”

The problem, i think-the way those 2 thoughts can be reconciled-is that while the economy may grow, along with voters’ financial situation, voters can still be unhappy with the direction the whole enterprise is heading (AI, wokeness, China rising, mass migration). So less “hope”

Ellis notes no Republican has cut into Trump’s support in rural and exurban counties. OK. But reminds me of what they said early in 2008 campaign about how African-Americans were sticking with Hillary and skeptical of Obama. They were until they weren’t. https://t.co/gNLQURw2el
