    Yep, the petty bourgeois are Trump's people. His own descriptor -- "the boaters" -- is a useful shorthand.https://twitter.com/nils_gilman/status/1297514428678565888 …

    This is good, but it misses one key point: Middle class provincials often feel like they made it because/despite refusing to play by the rules of the “meritocratic” elites. Which is why they refuse to defer to “meritocrats” on anything, even mask-wearing. https://www.ft.com/content/b57e6126-4d2e-11ea-95a0-43d18ec715f5 …

        Why did it take so long for this to be understood? ...the sad thing is, reaction against elite is not bad...it is just that doing it without any kind of thought means....you wind up being scammed by people like Trump....or even dying at their hands.....

        "Buddy Garritty Republicans" remains an excellent descriptor of a large part of the GOP base.

        Thats why @nils_gilman point is essential to Trump's political fortunes. If stock/bond markets sink, all IRAs, 401ks, tiny they may be relative to plutocrats also plunge, as do middle class ideas of comfy retirement.

        I have thought about this often recently. Trump's middle class base is losing its jobs, its businesses, and its healthcare but is watching its stock portfolios surge in value, and that is a heck of a way for the powerful to hold onto these people's loyalty.

        But also the local oligarchs: the car dealers and real estate people, the people who buy the most ads on local TV.
