Even deep red states like Kansas and Oklahoma are turning away from the tea party brand
Guest analysis by Geoffrey Kabaservice @ WashingtonPost.com, Nov. 9
Geoffrey Kabaservice is the director of political studies at the Niskanen Center and author of "Rule and Ruin: The Downfall of Moderation and the Destruction of the Republican Party."
summary paragraph:
James and Deborah Fallows, authors of the recent book “Our Towns,” traveled extensively around smaller urban areas in heartland America in the course of their research. They discovered that, in contrast to the hyper-partisanship and gridlock at the federal level, local politics retains a penchant for collaboration, reasonable compromise and long-term vision. If there’s any hope for our collective political future, it’s that such pragmatism will percolate up from our local politics to our national politics. And the 2018 midterm results suggest that green shoots of moderation are breaking out, even in the states that many East Coast liberals think are hopelessly addicted to Trump’s brand of divisive cultural warfare.
Comments

Which then reminded me of something Yglesias wrote on the 10th:
from Trump voters stood by Trump in the midterms — but there just aren’t enough of them @ Vox.com
