Spicy take: the nationalist branch of populist voters are very aware of this, and are actively exploiting it to make the internationally mobile professional class suffer.
- charlesu 6y agoSeems like a bad strategy. America’s technological and cultural relevance depends on the internationally mobile professional class.
- eli_gottlieb 6y agoWhen you put it before the voters as America's relevance to the international order versus their houses, jobs, and communities, they're gonna choose the latter.

It’s sad because they’re not getting those things through nationalism either. In fact they’ll lose international relevance and their homes, jobs, and communities because of the folks selling them nationalism.
