Description
The Existing Democratic Majority
The things they value are there, they don’t really have the skills to pack up
and be an Anywhere, and they love Trump because he sticks his finger in the eyes of the Anywheres who have made their world worse.
Democrats win the cities, Republicans win the rural areas, and the battlegrounds are in the suburbs.
Republicans win the sprawling outer-ring suburbs, where there are lots of office parks and midlevel corporate managers.
One way to capture the emerging divide is by using the British writer David Goodhart’s distinction between Somewheres and Anywheres.
Somewheres value staying put; they feel uncomfortable with many aspects of cultural and economic change, like mass immigration.
Republicans have done well in outer-ring boomburbs like Loudon County.
