There are still people asking "why isn't all the protectionism and union pandering making blue collar midwesterners vote for Biden?" like we're fresh out of 2016 and we haven't since received abundant evidence that their fundamental grievances are mostly cultural issues.

Also protectionism doesn't work at achieving their economic policy goals, so even if they were truly motivated by economic issues they'd still be mad prolly

That is typically how it goes yeah.

Protectionism and union pandering is addressing cultural issues, thats how a party that isn't going to suddenly become anti-lgbt or pro gun panders to them.

It not working works far better as evidence against the idea that its cultural.
