The Philosophy & Opinions Of The Right Honourable Olukemi Olufunto Adegoke Badenoch

Badenoch is offering us a veritable cornucopia of MAGA political theory:

As succinctly explained by Badenoch herself in an introduction, politics is no longer about class in the old sense but more about belief-based splits that often result in more educated, urban voters aligning with the left.

Seemingly very close to Trump's "I love the poorly educated"

The explanation for the triangles is actually relatively simple, even if the resulting policy prescriptions in the 40-page document are not so much.

The triangles seek to note a key difference between 20th- and 21st-century politics. With the first, the vertical divide stands for the traditional idea of affluent voters, nearer the top of the economic pile, leaning to the right, with poorer ones underneath favouring the left. The second triangle shows a new paradigm, based not on economic tiers but values.

But why, in the second triangle, the one split laterally, are “left” and “right” the wrong way round? A spokesperson for Badenoch was unable to provide an answer.

As succinctly explained by Badenoch herself in an introduction, politics is “no longer about class in the old sense” but more about belief-based splits that often result in more educated, urban voters aligning with the left.

Badenoch is offering us a veritable cornucopia of MAGA political theory:
That analysis goes well beyond MAGA, plenty of liberals made the same argument - see the EU referendum vote being aligned with formal education, break down of white voters into college educated and non-college educatedly pollsters
