I purposely parenthesize the "white" in white working class there because with perhaps one or two exceptions where he's mostly alluding to someone else's writings he seems to default to "working class" which just *claps* isn't *claps* the *claps* same. This has been a personal pet peeve of mine since coverage of the 2016 election liked to conflate WWC and working class as the same to explain Trump's win. Trump performed well with the WWC, Clinton still won the rest of it. Don't put this shit on everyone else. It's literally the "economic anxiety" shtick all over again.I read this article weeks ago and don't remember it perfectly (and don't care to reread it) but this was my biggest take away as well. Straight up embarrassing how easily and repeatedly the author implies (assumes?) that all working class people are white. --- Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else. ...
