A big problem is that right wing voting is anchored at deep levels of people's identity. They vote Republican because they're white, because they're male, because they're Christian, because they love America, because they're rural etc. Things that don't tend to change.

We need something equally durable and equally widespread. A certain type of union membership is the only thing I can think of. It needs to be memberships in social groups or identity groups that make the idea of voting Republican unfathomable. Only Black women on the Democratic side still have that. People can't just be untethered individuals voting on fear and self-interest or we're gonna have problems.

Left-wing parties trying to be the champion of minority as some kind of antithesis of the Right-wing have problems because just because they're minorities doesn't mean they will get along together for a common cause.
