SHE’S RIGHT:
It’s not the working class or even the middle class that’s boosting Zohran, it’s the activist upper middle class. Not the guys making 400k+, they also didn’t go for him.

Kenneth Anderson had some thoughts on this quite a while ago:
In social theory, OWS is best understood not as a populist movement against the bankers, but instead as the breakdown of the New Class into its two increasingly disconnected parts. The upper tier, the bankers-government bankers-super credentialed elites. But also the lower tier, those who saw themselves entitled to a white collar job in the Virtue Industries of government and non-profits — the helping professions, the culture industry, the virtueocracies, the industries of therapeutic social control, as Christopher Lasch pointed out in his final book, The Revolt of the Elites. The two tiers of the New Class have always had different sources of rents, however. . . . The OWS protestors are a revolt — a shrill, cri-de-coeur wail at the betrayal of class solidarity — of the lower tier New Class against the upper tier New Class. It was, after all, the upper tier New Class, the private-public finance consortium, that created the student loan business and inflated the bubble in which these lower tier would-be professionals borrowed the money. It’s a securitization machine, not so very different from the subprime mortgage machine. The asset bubble pops, but the upper tier New Class, having insulated itself and, as with subprime, having taken its cut upfront and passed the risk along, is still doing pretty well. It’s not populism versus the bankers so much as internecine warfare between two tiers of elites. The downward mobility is real, however, in both income and status. The Cal graduate started out wanting to do ‘sustainable conservation.’ She is now engaged in something closer to subsistence farming.
It’s easy to have a comfortable life now, but people have been raised to crave distinction.

ANALYSIS: TRUE.
We are watching the slow motion collaboration of the American press corps and political left pushing fringe progressives towards murder all while claiming, falsely, Trump is getting people killed. And it is a press + political left collaboration towards murder.

And they know exactly what they’re doing.
I AGREE:
Trump’s near-death experience in Butler is the foundational moment of his 2nd term. Not only did it galvanize people it’s also hard to separate the attack & the miraculous split-second turn of his head from the sense of urgency with which he’s governed. https://t.co/12xJG6tvGC

Salena has a new book out this week, Butler: The Untold Story of the Near Assassination of Donald Trump and the Fight for America’s Heartland.
MUCH OF LEFTIST POLITICS, EXPLAINED:
"many women suffer from an intense fear of social exclusion. The pressure to 'fit into' a group is stronger for girls than for boys, possibly leading girls to support beliefs or ideas out of a desire for social harmony rather than true conviction." https://t.co/skRMqUKyZu

If you’re black pilled right now, you’re just not paying attention. I don’t have any time for people who aren’t looking for the way to win. Looking for the way to win means accepting that sometimes you have a setback but figuring out how to get around it.

There's no such thing as a job an American won’t do. Not a single industry in the US is even close to a majority illegal labor, including hotel and farm workers. Illegal migrants drive down American wages—which is why the elites are desperately fighting to keep them: cheap labor. pic.twitter.com/SZ4sy1zKGD
