Tucker's brand of conservativism and civic nationalism makes sense when you realise that sections of the elite are now concerned about their own future in an impoverished, Third World, America with a deeply fragmented population. Tucker is laying the groundwork for an ethnically inclusive brand of American nationalism to integrate Asian and Hispanic voters into a new electoral base for the centre Right. The Democrats are in trouble for the immediate future because the electoral politics of the New Deal simply no longer work now that social peace is breaking down. The old remedies (welfare and secure employment) are not available and the more recent ones (cheap consumer credit and the prospect of college as a route to upward mobility) is failing.
The Establishment is split: some oligarchs want a trade war and nationalism, others prefer to crush the middle and working classes under the pretence of repressing white supremacy and saving 'our democracy'. Tucker supports the former.

Yea, I have a major problem with the latter. So Tucker provides the better viewpoint.
