>Trump’s white working class supporters — who provide somewhere between 58 and 62 percent of his votes, according to data from NBC and ABC polls — have suffered a stunning loss of relative status over the past 40 years.
>Their wages have stagnated or declined; the ascendance of minorities has threatened their cultural dominance; and the growth of an increasingly large and affluent upper middle class has pushed goods and services once viewed as theirs by right beyond their reach.
>This point was well put in an essay, “Keeping Up With the Joneses,” by Neil Fligstein, a professor of sociology at Berkeley, Pat Hastings, a Ph.D. candidate at Berkeley, and Adam Goldstein, professor of sociology at Princeton, which was presented at the annual meeting of the American Sociological Association.

the people that lose the most if they let globalization continue and therefore don't want it to continue are obviously complete illogical morons according to geniuses like Mr. Edsall here, always remember if you don't let the (((1%))) abuse and exploit you like a Bangladeshi child laborer and if you don't want to be replaced by subhuman minorities in your own land, then you are obviously a racist, stupid, white trash, conservative, irrational, fear-mongering, baby-eating Nazi pedophile Hitler clone. It's gotten so bad, you aren't even allowed to stand up for your own well being without being put on the same level as mass-murders. Do these jackasses not notice the fucking signs, was the BREXIT not a loud enough explosion, do these faggots not see that they are dangerously close to the abyss?

all the while free trade retards and neoliberals promote domination of nations by an international corporate elite as "le epic freedumbs" because apparently being out of a job and paid like shit is great for the economy.

He's not wrong. My white working class small town has turned into neighborhoods full of yuppies living in massive, recently developed homes and spics. The spics took the modest sized homes downtown that used to be the standard. Now they're building Section 8 housing a few blocks from the high school. The elites want the white working class dead.

Why are all sociologists basically social Marxists? Every one that I know that is going for that degree becomes an SJW. It's literally in the curriculum, social justice. Might as well rename the class to Social Marxism so people don't get impressed when you tell them you're a sociologist, like that's some important thing when basically you're a fucking communist.

I, along with a lot of people I know, would be more than happy to oblige them.

Blacks and Mexicans vote in more welfare, like their home country.
Libertarians let them in for "free market" economic policies, and these immigrants vote out their "free market" economic policies.

“But the people don’t do it. Why? Because they are dependent on the government sustaining them for the rest of their lives,” Aguirre said.

look at this shit, last paragraph:
>Many of Trump’s supporters have been left behind, marginalized by the economic, cultural and demographic transformations brought about by globalization. Trump likes to assure these beleaguered voters that he will restore their vanished status, but the reality is that his chaotic appropriation of right-wing populism — its threats and its promises — is fraudulent, as bereft of value as his bankrupt casinos.
they outright said "you're dying" all while cheering it on, claiming it's inevitable. they're outright bragging in your face.

and it does go on to promote how bad the inflationand uncontrolled greed has hurt the middle class.
so yes its a jew, but the article itself isn't as bad as OP painted it out to be.

Its hilariously hypocritical.

2. Why do these backwards racists refuse to vote for our globalist policies???

>“If you spend time in hardscrabble, white upstate New York, or eastern Kentucky, or my own native West Texas, and you take an honest look at the welfare dependency, the drug and alcohol addiction, the family anarchy—which is to say, the whelping of human children with all the respect and wisdom of a stray dog—you will come to an awful realization. It wasn’t Beijing. It wasn’t even Washington, as bad as Washington can be. It wasn’t immigrants from Mexico, excessive and problematic as our current immigration levels are. It wasn’t any of that,” Williamson state.
>“The truth about these dysfunctional, downscale communities is that they deserve to die. Economically, they are negative assets. Morally, they are indefensible,” the conservative writer says. “The white American under-class is in thrall to a vicious, selfish culture whose main products are misery and used heroin needles. Donald Trump’s speeches make them feel good. So does OxyContin. What they need isn’t analgesics, literal or political. They need real opportunity, which means that they need real change, which means that they need U-Haul. If you want to live, get out of Garbutt [a blue-collar town in New York].”
