Opinion | This Election Pits the Guardians Against the Counterrevolutionaries

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

34% : That left-right divide on economics persists: Mike Johnson, the Republican speaker of the House, just said he'd prioritize uprooting Obamacare.
31% : The breadth of Trump's coalition is different: It stretches from anti-corporate naturalists like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. -- who says Trump has promised him "control" of public health agencies -- to post-liberal Catholics like JD Vance to crypto bros to Elon Musk.
28% : R.F.K. Jr. spreads conspiracy theories about vaccines and frets over food additives (which makes for an odd alliance with Trump, a man made of Big Macs and Diet Coke who presided over the Covid vaccine project Operation Warp Speed).
26% : A survey by the Center for Working Class Politics and YouGov tested a number of messages among working- class Pennsylvanians and found that none performed worse, for Democrats, than focusing on the threat Trump poses to democracy.
25% : This network is sometimes called the Cathedral and sometimes called the Regime; Trump refers to part of it as the Deep State, Vivek Ramaswamy calls the corporate side "Woke Inc." and JD Vance has described it as a grave threat to democracy.
20% : Still, it was striking to see Harris delivering her closing argument in Washington at the site Trump used to incite the mob that stormed the Capitol.
10% : After all, Trump has repeatedly (and falsely) bragged on the campaign trail about saving Obamacare.
