Vance said in his speech is, quote, we don't persecute you, this is his TPUSA AmFest speech, we don't persecute you for being male, for being straight, for being gay, for being anything.

The only thing that we demand is that you be a good or great American citizen.

Now, I'm talking about the politics of this, and obviously the substance and the politics overlap.

The middle of that Venn diagram is the most important part.

But again, that's not the messaging.

that you hear from the left.

And so, if the right can pull that off convincingly, you have to be looking at like, I went and looked back today at how Glenn Youngkin won in 2020.

He was marrying class and culture in a way that Winsome Earl Sears did not.

And Youngkin won, Sears lost,

Youngkin won in a better cycle, Sears lost badly in a worse cycle.

But the way that you make these attacks on Dem identity politics stick is correctly address them as a class issue.

And obviously, that's a different question on the economy and tariffs.

We could open up that can of worms, but for now, I'm just going to stick with this.

If you are able to say, as J.D.

Vance did in his speech, which you heard him say, the people who think they rule you think that they can control the way you talk, et cetera, or he put this in his ex post.

This was quote, this was because the people who think they rule the world pit us against one another.

You know who else says a version of that?

Bernie Sanders.

Bernie Sanders.

And that is because it's effective.
