      Seeing more "is it race or class" regressions. I don't think this works. They're in a feedback loop. This will lead to more lost elections.

      A sense of economic displacement fueling more racism or cultural anxiety mixed with economic analysis is a historic norm. Boringly common.

      So historically common that there are German words for it. Cannot, cannot fight this without understanding the economic displacement part.

      This isn't arguing it's not racism. Also not arguing weakening an anti-racist stance. The opposite. Would be both morally wrong and stupid.

      You can see all this clearly in how education & isolation have become the strong mediator variable of how racism plays out in this country.

      Given the numbers, difficult to win elections in the US without understanding the intertwining of race & econ, and finding ways to fight it.

      Regressions are useful for many things; but not this. IMO this leads down a wrong path and politics that follows this will hit more walls.

      To be clear: I strongly oppose anyone who argues for putting anti-racism in the back burner. That is morally unacceptable also futile.

      The point is to understand there is no separating the "economic" from the "racism" in understanding how this dynamic works for many. /end

      The Atlantic article dies a decent job separating the 2. WWC who are economically stressed went for Clinton. Relatively affluent WWC Trump.

      No, it separates " fear of societal change" from "economic pressure". Those are so intertwined now for many that you can't do this.

          I get that the 2 are intertwined, but when it comes to Trump voters, there seems to be a separation that shouldn't just be waved away.

          What to do with that is a tough. Obv don't call them racists and ignore economics. But how to you have a coalition w/ them and minorities?
