Hello, everyone! You may have noticed that it’s been a while since my last newsletter. That’s because I’ve been on leave for the last three months — and I’ll be on leave for most of the next three — but I wanted to check in with a few thoughts and programming notes. Since a few of you asked: Yes, The Tilt goes on. The newsletter will ramp back up as I return to work, and needless to say, there is a lot to cover. This is not an ordinary moment in American political history.

The transition away from industrial-era class politics has been ongoing since the 1950s and 1960s, when postwar affluence and an expanded safety net mostly satisfied a century of demands from industrial labor. Soon thereafter, the rise of a new generation of college-educated youth activists helped bring a new set of issues to the fore - from civil rights and women's rights to Vietnam - that helped shatter the New Deal coalition. This was the last great upheaval in American politics.

There are a lot of lessons in this surprisingly poor track record. The most obvious one: It may not be as bad as it looks for the losing party. This can be hard to recognize, as losing a presidential election can feel psychologically crushing.
