Oh. Also. It’s also weird how the plot reveals of time creates a whole lotta Usual Suspects dropped coffee mug moments for one‘s personal narrative.

CBP vehicles were seen at the Brier Creek shopping center earlier today. I'm guessing they've set up camp in that area. #ice #cbp #raleigh #briercreek

Amon white people, the correlation between racial resentment and their vote is much, much stronger than between educational attainment and political alignment.

In fact, if you control for racial resentment, education polarization basically disappears.

Trump does not have a stable conservative/right-leaning majority behind him, he does not represent the “will of the people.” America remains deeply divided, with a numerical majority rejecting the reactionary agenda and generally supporting the vision of liberal pluralism.

However, both major parties are vastly unpopular, and trust in established institutions has been declining massively.

America is not experiencing a realignment as much as it is going through a de-alignment of the established order.

In this piece, I tackle three building blocks of the misleading “realignment” narrative: The idea that U.S. society moved right in accordance with the broader outlines of Trumpism’s vision; that Trump is the tribune of the working class; that he is building a stable multiracial coalition.
