Will's interview with Thomas Frank, just last episode (511), actually discusses how Biden's capturing the PMC / petite bourgeoise latter-day liberal Republicans, while jettisoning all the working class white collar voters. It literally is the type of person Dems are courting, and a big reason why they've made inroads into states like Virginia, Colorado, and Arizona, while losing Ohio and Indiana and Wisconsin and Iowa.
Frank talks about how the wealthiest corners of Kansas have flipped to the Democrats for the first time in a century. These communities are coming around on social issues while doubling down on economic conservatism, and Biden's party is rapidly incorporating them into the new Democratic establishment.

"Coming around to social issues" = "It's okay to be gay as long as you're rich."
More broadly, the Church of The Ivy League is replacing our old social networks. Anything goes, if you're a Yale-y.
