What it does mean: All the "disastrous GOP convention" stories were missing the mark. The reporting bubble is real. https://twitter.com/benjysarlin/status/757554407869382656 …

The least productive, misleading discussion here is "is it race or economic" anxiety. They've LONG BEEN INTERTWINED. Here and in Europe.

Look, the convention bounce will fade but... That speech worked. An hour long doom about jobs—and race and dangerous foreigners—worked.

People need to understand how that race part absolutely meshes with the jobs part. "Alt-right" is loud on Twitter but it's small potatoes.

If there's elite & left failure at times of cultural transition & economic anxiety and threat, Ethno-supremacist ideologies rise. So common.

Trump is promising a welfare state for white working people. Many of these people wrongly think it kinda exists for black & brown people.

Trump promises protectionism. US bargain was: you lose good jobs, you get cheap stuff. Of course people want good jobs. Jobs are identity.
