Sometimes Sully’s more Randian than Burkean:
The new cultural divide will not be on guns, gays and God. It will be between the makers and the takers, the producers of wealth and the recipients of redistribution. And it will be about tempering the over-reach that the Democrats will be unable to resist.
(A) Why not just call the Democrats “moochers and looters” and be done with it?
(B) If the divide really becomes the rich versus the poor — the top 10% versus everyone else — how can that not benefit Democrats?
(C) Anyone who thinks that Republicans will ever stop using the three G’s with at least some success is out of his mind.
Update. Good point from JGabriel in the comments:
Well, the producers of wealth are the people who make things: the workers. And the wealthy are the recipients of redistribution.
How the opposite became such a common assumption that we automatically know Sully is saying the opposite, that the Democrats are the “moochers and losers” is really, when you think about, quite strange. And, yes, I know it’s the result of nearly a century of GOP and upper class propaganda, but doesn’t make it any less strange.
