The sentiment expressed here of “The Right memes. The Left wins elections” is very interesting. The Wisconsin SC race they’re talking about gives a liberal majority to a body that had sanctioned Republican partisan gerrymanders for over a decade. WI elected Dems to most statewide offices, including governor, SoS, and attorney general and always has competitive statewide races, but yet Republicans maintain an almost 2 to 1 advantage in both state legislatures thanks to gerrymandering. It’s looking like America has shifted dramatically to the left in the past few decades but that hasn’t really borne out at the ballot box yet because of the inherent advantages for the conservative minority in the Electoral College and gerrymandering. We of course don’t see it living in the South and everyone always being so caught up in the drama of the day(i.e. Trump), but the suburban shift towards Dems and the working class shift towards Reps on social issues may end up being a blessing in disguise for Dems as privileged suburbanites(traditionally Republican) vote at higher rates more consistently than their working class counterparts. Traditional wisdom was that Dems always had more people but they had a hard time getting those working class people out to vote. Now Republicans have inherited those turnout obstacles without the larger numbers to back them up. Seems Nixon’s ‘silent majority’ has shifted to Trump’s loud-as-hell, meme spewing minority.
