Analysis: "How Trump Exploits Working Class Pain"

"Trump uses economic decline to win over voters & push rural America further to the right.

"A lot of people in this group have felt that neither political party was offering an answer... & have turned instead to a kind of charismatic leader.

"Trump played on their shame... about their downward mobility & used that to his political advantage."

~Arlie Hochschild

well, so #India will be punished like #China too,
the guy in the oval office thinks #tariffs are bringing production back #USpol

#Apple 's CEO claimed they chose China only because of engineering quality and ability to scale, wages had nothing to do with the decision, looks like #India scales well too - which it does no doubt

🤔 let's see how this move plays out

I honestly think there is just one thing Zelensky needs to do: consistently, privately, intensively promise Trump he will nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize in exchange for X, X being any reasonable conclusion to the war. I think it’s a story he can sell that Putin can’t or won’t. #uspol #ukraine

Wikipedia’s nonprofit status questioned by D.C. U.S. attorneyThe Washington Post

“Last night, a fed judge became the 1st to review ICE’s claim that someone was an “alien enemy.”

It went SO BAD for #ICE -not only did the judge order release for the ppl suing, w/o prompting he restricted the use of: #AEA in W TX.

In a SCATHING decision, Judge Briones in El Paso absolutely SAVAGED the govt over this case, tearing to shreds ICE’s hearsay “evidence” that this husband & wife were in TdA as “completely +wholly unsubstantiated” +ordered their immediate release”
