HAHA. Are you serious?
Union workers can't stand the Greens. Inner city blacks can't stand New England Wasps. LGBT is hated by Hispanics and Blacks. Single working professionals despise the idea of free college education. The Progressives are hated by virtually every other block to a greater or lesser extent.
The Democrats only win Presidential elections when they have a candidate whose personal charisma can overcome the fundamentally irreconcilable policy differences between the (many) disparate tribes that make up the Democrat party.
I do not see the world through tribes, it is an explanation of things that I find unsatisfying. But regardless, when I say tribalism is a feature, I mean in the Republican block as a whole.
In no other truly democratic nation do I see people vote for a party so blatantly corrupt, self serving and generally out for the interests of noone but the super-rich and the fanatics. The Republicans should be standing tall atop a victory totem given their relatively conservative stance on issues like abortion and the myriad of issues the democrats have, instead they won the popular vote exactly once in twenty years because what they stand for alienates so many.
The generally conservative rural and even urban African Americans should, if the census and polls speak true regarding their stances on many issues, be overwhelmingly in support of the republicans. Instead the racism of the party means that in some areas the democrats enjoy 90% support.
Spanish speaking or descended voters too tend to be on average more religious and distinctly against issues like abortion, but the Republicans being, shall we say, complete asses, has instead driven them front and centre to the democrats, helping form the nucleus of the moderate faction and bolstering the progressive faction and even the DSA with people like Occasio-Cortez
Native Americans, one of the most rural subgroups in america least connected to much of what the Democrats shout from the rooftops, should by all rights be front and centre republican supporters. If you guessed why they ain't it has some similarities to the above two.
The Republican party relies upon the old, the racist and the desperate, two of those look set to take care of themselves, no matter what happens in the next few years (Especially the recession if the indicator thats always been right about recessions before is right). I am actually impressed how thouroughly the GOP has turned those who should be its allies into its mortal foes.
