      it is also by the way encouraging a return to what the american norm was for most of american history go watch a summer movie from the 80s most likely the villains will be what scott calls the Upper Class and the heroes will be blue collar

      the tropes are just lying around for a political entrepreneur to pick up and if i wanted to go to war with the expert class as a politician I would simply make my entire staff watch They Live five times straight until they got the message

      its not just They Live of course watch any movie from the 80s. most likely it will feature scrappy neerdowells teaming up to take on some entitled pricks trying to steal their summer camp and/or wifehttps://twitter.com/lehospitalrule/status/1365067280548327424?s=19 …

      anyway idk reagan pulled this off. not sure it could be done today and I assume that there are reasons it is not being done. and of course there would be incredibly stupid downsides. but if i were a democrat i would probably consider how to not be vulnerable to this asap glhf

          people talk a lot about the hollowing out of the middle class seems to me that it's easier to build an anti-elite alliance that includes competent driven people when there's a middle class to draw from ; middle can ally up or down with middle gone, the gulf defines the parties

          this gets to the core of the issue imo which is what exactly is this rebranding meant to accomplish? to me this idea is pleasant like reducing a fraction is pleasant, but is it tactical, strategic, or aesthetic

          Pretty sure the reason it won’t work is that most of the working class self-identifies as middle class, so you can’t just explicitly *say* “working class” and have people think you mean them Trump got around this by conveying “working class” more or less by example

          Ah, bringing up Reagan is a useful point! In They Live, the aliens are explicitly Reaganite stand-ins—there's literally a line of dialogue when a human collaborator describes them as "free enterprisers." Which poses problems for the "keep ppl who are Rs for capitalism" line.

          Caldwell argues that Reagan failed, because the CRA provides endless opportunities for the regulatory state (and thus dominance of overproduced elites suited to run it). EPA etc is a sideshow.

          I mean, the reason it can't be done is literally no 10 people or fewer can do this, it's a huge coordination problem.
