Democratic Senate survivors, how low trust explains the realignment, the Latino diploma divide, cultural issues in 2024, the myth of youth leftism, the rich are still Republican outside of the coasts
Re "the rich are still Republican outside of the coasts", it would be interesting (not sure if such data are reasonably available, and counties aren't a very good form of aggregation anyway - maybe ZIP codes?) to see the partisan alignment of people whose houses are say +2 sigma above median for the relevant unit of aggregation.
$1.5M is less than one sigma above median for my not quite coastal California ZIP code, and probably a bit under median for my (red-tinged purple, blue trending) voting precinct.
Net wealth would be obviously even better, although I think net wealth would still somewhat overstate the wealth on the coasts (one of my neighbors with a $1.5M market value house and $300k of equity appears to have $300k of net wealth but is likely to burn at least $100k of that net wealth liquidating the house in question).
