I think the "de-alignment" frame is smart but also that it's a *VERY IMPORTANT* development coming off a decade when a lot of people argued (and convinced themselves that swing voters no longer existed and the coalitions were largely set and immovable.
What is really going on in this society that elected Donald Trump president a second time?
I wrote about three stubborn myths about Trump’s support – and why America has experienced a de-alignment rather than a rightward realignment.
My new piece for @zeit.de – and some thoughts in English:

Yeah, Democrats tried the "there is no crisis" argument and it blew up in their faces. The busing wS one of the most successful political stunts I've ever seen.
this only works if blue cities and states handled a fraction of the migrants when migrants were bussed to these cities. The moment they started coming to these cities public services crippled they wanted to put migrants on polluted land and cash in on millions
Hi I would like everyone to please absorb the lesson that echoing & amplifying GOP framing of *any issue* will always fail voters, policymakers, and progressives. Take the “border crisis”—there hasn’t been anything near a crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border since 1916. It’s a racist dog whistle.
