That actually makes perfect sense of the "walking away" talk, though. It was extreme and unusual in the first place that ardent conservatives would vote for the same political party as socialist activists based solely on race or identity. That was really weird, actually, and an end to that kind of thing is just "reversion to the mean" of people voting for what they actually believe in.
