Have Republicans Lost the Culture and Establishment Wars?

“The masters of our social media and Internet universe are the most insidiously partisan,” writes Victor Davis Hanson in American Greatness.

Open your laptop or power on your smartphone, and you meet their shadow personas nonstop. It is not just that the smug class of Menlo Park and Palo Alto censor and disallow posts, podcasts, and messaging along partisan lines, or that a search engine’s headers and footers are advertisements for a new progressive America. It is that social media has also been on the vanguard of redefining the Democratic Party, from Hubert Humphrey’s old workers party to a pyramid of the very wealthy overseeing a government-subsidized underclass.

“Someone is spending a lot of money to get the absentee voting ballot out, correctly marked, and returned,” continues Mr. Hanson. And it is killing Republican candidates.

In the post-election aftermath, Republicans are wondering about how they can capture that missing 2-5 percent of the electorate that lost them the House of Representatives.

Could they pry away 40 percent of the institutionalized Democratic Latino vote on delivery of a full-employment economy of rising wages? Can they win over 20 percent of the African-American electorate on the basis of more jobs and less competition from illegal immigrants?

Republicans, in deer-in-the-headlights-style, appear shocked that they are increasingly prone to winning the vote on Election Day only to lose it in the ensuing weeks when absentee ballots and what-not filter in with astounding Democratic majorities.

Conservatives are besieged by hostile progressives, writes VDH, and have entirely lost the culture and establishment wars.
