Kaplan is actually Jewish, not Jew-ish
and also - will be interesting to see what happens in Great Neck/Kings Point - she doesn't live there but she's a rare Persian Jewish Democrat

Behold: the results of the recent 2022 Navajo presidential election, organized by Tribal Chapter.

Incumbent President Jonathan Nez was defeated by Buu Nygren, positioning himself as the candidate for change and as someone who could get the ball rolling on long-awaited projects. Image
Nygren's 2022 victory stands in sharp contrast to the previous 2018 election when Nez won easily and defeated a ticket that included Nygren.

Evidently, the Navajo electorate was looking for change as Nez's support declined in virtually all the chapters. Image
The Navajo Nation covers the largest land area of any tribe and is only second to the Cherokee Nation in population.

These maps aim to uncover overlooked political dynamics that exist amid the competitive and soon-to-be-competitive states that the Navajo Nation touches.

college educated social conservatives as a demographic try too damn hard

Trump on the other hand, just shoots from the hip and the base eats it up
college educated social conservatives consist of two sub-demographics:

1) lunatics stuck in cultural/ideological bubbles
2) people who are trying to cosplay as populist heroes
the first group are transparently freaks

the second group are transparently fakes

so for people trying to do "Trumpism without Trump" as they call it, it's a question of Freaks vs Fakes.

"Barnstable and Bristol have tons of socially conservative populists"

According to this, the solution to losing Massachusetts by 30 points for being too conservative, is to be "more" conservative.

Good luck - Keating ain't going anywhere
Massachusetts Rs are 0 and 130 or so for winning congressional elections, and it certainly isn't because every white guy with an Irish last name is a secret crypto-populist waiting to be pulled into voting GOP.
Bristol County had a right-wing sheriff, and when voters actually paid attention to his policies, the dude lost, as an incumbent - do you know how hard that is to do?

Barnstable County has all-Democratic government for the first time in decades too so this is clownium
