Some people are wondering why Trump underperformed with white voters, including white working class men. One explanation is that the focus on pandering over economic populism pushed them away. amgreatness.com/2020/10/02/pan…
Two camps: people who realize Trumpism was corrupted from about 2017 onward, with a brief but high profile reversal in mid 2020, and the those who will embrace Trumpism 2.0 (mixture of Goldman Sachs, Kushner, Koch policies). At some point, they'll have to hash this out.
Here are some examples of Trumpism 2.0: Ja'Ron Smith, one of the leading proponents of criminal justice reform, got what he wanted and is jumping ship

1. I heard this from America First people in the admin today, with the additional note that Ivanka also asked Trump to concede. She wants to run in 2024. AF people are livid.

2. This should not demoralize people. It should make them demand a better team.
Here is the problem: Accepting this is true might seem like a black pill, I don't think it is, but some people do. However... how are you supposed to reverse the course of this election when Trump's kids, senior advisors, are asking him to concede? This is a contradiction.
So you have really smart, really good people fighting for the cause because they believe in the mandate, and Javanka, on the other hand, looking for a way out.

Millions of people now see the Republican Party as the party of the working class, whether they are blue or white collar: Middle America is putting itself in the GOP's camp. This is the only social force capable of pushing back on intersectionalism 1/
So we need to push the GOP to become a true labor party. No more corporate bootlicking, no more siding with big business, no more carrying water for tech companies and the immigration lobby 2/
No more attacking Social Security, and time to take seriously health care 3/

A good mainstream take on why a decent number of black and Latino men support Trump: he projects strength and we respect strength like non-college whites do, and unlike effete whites à la David French 1/ nbcnews.com/think/amp/ncna…
I wrote about this in late September 2/ amgreatness.com/2020/09/22/cau…
And I did a Tucker Carlson hit about this, also in late September 3/

Imagine if Trump would, for once, publicly acknowledge how much Democrats and the left in general hate white people. I think it would rally whites, but also attract some nonwhites, probably mostly men, because of the cojones involved in the act -- strength respects strength 1/
It would highlight 1) how the yet largely white--not all white, of course, but mostly white--middle is crushed from above (Biden, Bezos, Bloomberg) and below (subsidized unproductive criminal class a la BLM) 2/
2) Take us one step closer toward a nationalism capable of unifying enough of the right people against the exploitative ruling class 3/

The Miles Taylor revelations of things Trump proposed but never came to fruition refutes the 4D chess people that claimed Trump couldn't be based in the first term because "optics." Trump had great ideas, but subversive staff and little to no external push back from the Right 1/
So Trump wanted to do some awesome things, but he was undermined by Taylor, Rollins, Kushner, Liddell, etc, who coordinated with the media to cover and help themselves 2/
And because conservative media has been so in the trenches against leftism and the Democrats, the polarization probably helped these people evade the notice they deserved 3/
