New York Times' take on six types of Republican voters is missing some stuff

There are six types of Republican voters, according to The New York Times’ Nate Cohn, in a party that’s “not necessarily a populist-conservative MAGA monolith.” Cohn is working hard to support that “not necessarily.” On the one hand, “only 37% of Republicans count as part of Mr. Trump’s loyal base,” but on the other hand Trump’s positions on almost every issue have majority support. But on the first hand, sometimes it’s a narrow majority!

And, of course, there are plenty of Republicans who aren’t part of Trump’s “loyal base” but still support him when it comes to it.

There are some contortions here, is what I’m saying. One of the biggest is in what is never mentioned: Jan. 6, and election denial more generally. This is a long take on how the party is not a MAGA monolith, trying to pick apart what differentiates some Republicans from other Republicans without ever going into which of them adhere to one of the defining traits of their party these days. That seems like a big thing to leave out.
