Usually the problem with groupthink is that there's too many sophomoric dudebros in the group. Rarely is the problem there are too few. But not never.

Just read this in Perlstein's Nixonland recently in the run-up to the 1972 election and we're still having the same fight
The bosses, on the other hand, believed that they would never have become bosses unless they had demonstrated a proven sensitivity to the will of the electorate-a will these radicals knew nothing about. "The so-called 'politi-cal bosses' were smart enough to pick candidates who could win," the AFL-CIO's political director, Al Barkan, thundered. "These 'bosses' gave us a Truman, a Stevenson, a Kennedy, a Humphrey."

To the reformers the flaw in that reasoning was obvious. Stevenson was a two-time loser. Humphrey had been nominated-and lost. The Old Politics had failed in what it claimed it was best at-giving the public what it wanted. Surely that was a mandate for change-as was the charnel house in Vietnam. They insisted it was reformers who knew what the public wanted now.

A campaign he kicked off by talking about economic royalists! No consultant would let that stand today.
These economic royalists complain that we seek to overthrow the institutions of America. What they really complain of is that we seek to take away their power. Our allegiance to American institutions requires the overthrow of this kind of power. In vain they seek to hide behind the Flag and the Constitution. In their blindness they forget what the Flag and the Constitution stand for. Now, as always, they stand for democracy, not tyranny; for freedom, not subjection; and against a dictatorship by mob rule and the over-privileged alike.

I haven't compared their margins and proportions to see if they've weighted for Party ID (or how much), but my assumption is all the pollsters are modelling a small independent slice of the electorate in an non-presidential year.

Puts this quote from the New Republic profile of his launch in a new light!
Between the gentle morning sun, the complex flavors of the oysters, and lulling water, it is easy to believe Platner when he says that he hasn’t paid himself to work for his company since he took it over five years ago. Anyone would do this job for free. His wife and business partner take checks for their labor, but his contribution to the household comes in the form of checks from the Veterans Administration based on his 100 percent disabled status.

Lucas never specified what the initials stood for
But then a phantom menace struck. George Lucas would periodically check in on the status of the games his company was making, lending creative input and advice. The developer I talked to sighs, and agitatedly says, “In one viewing of Fracture, [Lucas] said it looked really good, but he didn’t like [Mason Briggs’] name. We’re like, ‘What do you mean, George?’ He responded to the effect of, ‘It doesn’t really fit. When he jumps on stuff, he moves pretty fast. I like B.J. Dart.’

“So everybody’s like, ‘No, he’s gotta be f---ing with us.’ He’s absolutely not. So when

Chart of productivity (going up), hourly compensation (going up until it stagnates), and union membership (starts going down and takes a steep dive) that all cross around 1980, with Reagan's head pointing at where compensation diverges from productivity and union membership takes a nosedive Chart of costs to go to a state school (University of Illinois), where tuition explodes after 1981 and median income and minimum wage stagnate. Once again, Reagan's head pointing to his time in office Chart of real family income from 1945-2020, with the median, top 5% and bottom 20% all rising at the same rate until the top earners take off and median and bottom earners stagnate around 1980. Once again, Reagan's head points to this year.Chart of income share of top 1% and bottom 50% of earners, in the US and Western Europe, 1980-2016.  The US does the top 1% going from 12% to 20% while the bottom 50% goes from 22% to 13% while the Western Europe chart has both groups staying relatively stable, at ~20% for the bottom and 10% for the top.  The US chart has, you guessed it, Reagan's head at 1980
