The Trump Base Is a Disaffected Middle Class

Lokh: The trump base is a disaffected middle class. And they're not disaffected by globaliz ation. They're disaffected because they've been culturally displaced by social, like liberal social movements that have looked to take apart the structure of american raceism and structural raceism in America. These are people who see their cultural image of themselves threatened by feminism and marriage equality. Lokh: It has been real it was really interesting writing the book to sort of to get on that channel of looking at a lumpand bourgeoisie, a post material community,. Who are so obsessed with their own privilege that they are literally willing to overthrow government and destroy institutions to maintain it.
