First off, thank you for the link, it always helps to have another view.

My view is nearer to Reagan’s, in that as he stated, paraphrasing, was that the best way to end welfare was to have a job. Few things provide more self-respect than earning one’s own way, being able to pick what one wants, from what one earns. Combine this with the continual statistics that Hispanics are more conservative than whites as a whole, and you get a block of people that are open to a party that emphasizes jobs. Trump, for better or worse, got the Hispanic unemployment rate almost down to the same as that of whites. He also provided the lowest Black unemployment rate on record. One may criticize the jobs, but the people working them didn’t do so, or Biden would have won even a larger share of the vote.

Unless Biden can start the job machine rolling again, the Republicans, with or without Trump are quite likely to prevail, especially among Hispanics, breaking 40%, Black men, working class whites, in even higher numbers, and religious conservatives.

People ultimately care about their own lives, how they are going, not being part of a tribe, revolution, or vanguard of the future. Those roles are mostly for the young and tend to disappear around 30, yes, there are exceptions, but they are just that, exceptions.
