    Jeet Heer Retweeted Jared Yates Sexton

    I don't think they are angry about the economy or technological change. These aren't Luddites. Something else.https://twitter.com/JYSexton/status/742875107417284608 …

    Telling myself they're angry about the economy. About changing technology and industry. But there's so much base-level ugliness.

        @JYSexton Erosion of privilege. Primacy + stature of traditional masculinity melting away. Only thing many had going for them.

        Let me guess - you're going to vote for "Dr." Jill Stein, or just stay home and sulk because your hero lost the primary.
