Academia: Don't like Trumpian lies & a "post truth" world? The right's hostility to academia? @HPluckrose , writing from the left, points out that YOU created this problem. Academia created alternative facts, before alternative facts were a thing.http://ow.ly/ApaM30hALRS

Blaming post modern academics for Trump is like blaming them for violent chimps. He’s just a bully who thinks facts don’t matter because he can intimidate his way out of any problem.

He has policies and a demeanor that people in the Midwest prefer. Or at least they preferred it to Hillary Clinton. Academics need to accept that they have little influence either way on elections.

Not sure about that. He ran on few policies, more "I will clean house, break the system, fight for you, drain swamps, get things done." & not just midwest. South and most nonbigcity America. Won more minorities than prior Repubs.

Academics have little direct influence. But their intellectual currents affect the broader culture. Identity politics started with the left, but the right has nailed using it to gain political power.

I think it's our default setting but universal liberalism made it unacceptable to evaluate ppl by race, gender, sexuality etc, openly at least. Then Pomo made it ok again.
