A big realignment in politics?
#2
There is another part of the column:

Quote:This sort of divide is being replicated all around the world. The distinctly American feature is race. If the Republicans can drop the racial wedges — which admittedly may be a big ask — and become more the party designed to succor those who are disaffected from the globalizing information age, then it might win over some minority voters, and the existing party alignments will unravel in short order.

I think he's right that these the differences that play out in much of the developed world, and that race is a big barrier for the Republican's to become the party of the dispossessed, or, as Clinton called them, the 'deplorables' (which was a rather deplorable and sweeping characterization of half Trump's electorate)
