      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.

      Yes. I've seen it in many languages. As Molly Ivins had said—best in the original German. It is a very common theme.https://twitter.com/aexm/status/757559487758737409 …

      It always does, doesn't it? I still very vividly remember Milošević's version of it in Serbia (then Yugoslavia). Same speech.

      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.

      They are important, but don't judge Trump's base by alt-rights or the anti-semites. They are much louder on Twitter than on voting booth.

      Finally, don't look at unemployment numbers. People made do now; that's not the issue. It's what will I do in 10 years? What will my kid do?

      I work on the issue; I support all efforts. But what's the answer to the political & technological transition besides "learn to code"? UBI?

          I doubt even learning to code would help much. Coding is starting to be automated, too.

          Also, the programming industry is seriously ageist. Middle-aged folks trying to break in will have a rough time.

          folks are overselling the gig economy as a means of making it. Stop short of promising social mobility.

          The main problem of UBI is that it'll inevitably end up as redistribution from poor and middle classes to themselves.

          If the 1-percenters don't pay most of it, it won't make any difference. And we know how good they're at avoiding taxes.
