"To give them somewhat more credit, Trump has genuinely changed Republican elites' thinking about what their voters care about. 'One of the things we discovered to our dismay in 2016 is that the electorate—the base of the Republican Party—was really not conservative in any meaningful way,' explains Mona Charen. Charen comes from the party's anti-Trump wing, but pro-Trump Republicans have been saying similar things throughout, lambasting their party's former leaders as heartless plutocrats rightly cast aside by the proletarian base."
Jonathan Chait at New York argues that the "Republicans' Long War to Roll Back the New Deal Is Finally Over."
