Here’s a hypothesis for you: approval of the non-college-educated white male demographic has fallen by exactly the amount needed to keep the network social capital (as computed by pagerank) aligned with Trump constant.

I'd be very interested in a theory that explains this --> Since April 2017, net approval of Trump among young white men with no college degree has increased by **22 points.** Steady climb, too.

I’m betting it’s not just approval ratings from other identity groups that has dropped on average. Internal self-worth has probably dropped too. Hard to keep it propped up if it rests on others too similar to you.

There’s a staircase process here similar to progressive stellar collapse via novas as star moves from fusing hydrogen to helium to carbon etc. Nuclear reactions keep reigniting several times on the way to a neutron star state.
