I don't agree with everything in the article but it's angle is obviously trying to figure out the reason for Trump's popularity with "white non-college educated males".
- evgen 10y agoI don't think anyone, anywhere at all questioned his appeal to "white resentment" for the past year. It has been a given. As for why he has this appeal, it is not much different than prior Republican appeal for this same demographic; Republican policies are manifestly bad for this group and yet they have continued to vote in a counter-productive manner since the 80s. There is nothing new to figure out here and this paper presents rehashed arguments cloaked in personal anecdote plumped up with vague references to other people's work and then presents the whole thing as though the author was making some sort of profound discovery.
- ChemicalWarfare 10y agoI was specifically replying to your "non-whites are invisible" remark. Just because this article clearly concentrates on the white non-college educated demographic that doesn't make non-whites "invisible".
