Great article. Well thought out. I agree Tech alignment is what is needed from the Rs but I also think the demographic data you presented is actually quite alarming for the Ds. Young people are most susceptible to the culture war, which is currently dominated by Ds due mostly to BLM/equality etc. POC are increasingly moving closer to center (as your data shows) and without their actual support the culture war starts to look a bit like white saviorism and I think long term has a negative effect on the Ds. Kids are going to want free speech, and when their fav comedian gets “cancelled” from their very own “culture”, more independent thinkers will prevail. I think this draws both sides closer to center and the far left and right become seen for what they are
