>>The article focuses on that specific political dialectic, which it claims was started by Nixon and Buchanan (I'm neither disputing nor supporting that claim), but the article claims that the partisan split started with that political dialectic. When I say the partisan split didn't start then and there, I'm not saying that the specific dialectic didn't start with them.<<

Tim -

I think that what the author is saying is that the specific dialectic invented by Buchanan and Nixon was the driving force behind the ascendancy of the conservative movement. Further, he's saying that that particular dialectic has now lost its power, and that the conservative movement hasn't found a new way to engage the public.
