The constant victimhood whining from Trump fans has reached some truly ridiculous levels. Nothing is ever your guy's fault.

SAVE ACT: Since Senate Republicans don’t want to do the work a talking filibuster would require, they simply need to lower the threshold to achieve cloture to pass the Save America Act before we lose the country. pic.twitter.com/nfZNnQvvjG

A swing state since before the Civil War, Ohio was once a presidential coin-flip, the national bellwether. As late as 2008, Barack Obama won Ohio by a comfy 4.5 points, with a strong union vote sweeping him along. Then came Trump, who over the last decade has transformed the Buckeye State into something approaching a personal fief, upending electoral wisdom and wonkish certainties as he went. "I wrote a book called The Bellwether about Ohio in advance of 2016," laughs Kyle Kondik, a long-time electoral analyst, "and the thing was obsolete within a few months."

That journey, that realignment, has by now been dissected to death. Yet it still feels wholly appropriate that Ohio, that archetypal MAGA conquest, should be voting the same week as the silver jubilee of Nickel and Dimed, published in May 2001. The author, muckraking journalist Barbara Ehrenreich, saw the Trumpian revolution years before Trump. "Someday," she said of her working-class subjects, "they are bound to tire of getting so little in return and to demand to be paid what they're worth." A Leftie to her core, the author was hoping her reportage would inspire unions and healthcare-for-all. Instead we got Trumpism and reading Ehrenreich tells us why.

That first triumph in the Rust Belt shocked America's liberal professional class. And, in another moment of publishing kismet, it was at this point that Gest's study of transatlantic working-class populism appeared. He recalls the earnest book tours during Trump's first term. As he puts of white working-class America: "There was this sort of receptivity to better understanding their viewpoint, their perspectives and their life experiences." Then came 2020, the Capitol riot, and 2024. In the aftermath, Gest observes a sea change in the liberal professional class. "There was a sense," Gest suggests, "that no one was prepared to make the political compromises required to appeal to them." Nearly half of liberal voters refuse to even share the same air as a Trump supporter. I've seen this transition myself. To quote one of my former grad-school colleagues: "**** you, if you voted for [Trump]."

Yep, I've said so multiple times. Your city guesses are far off though.

Again, worry about yourself more and others less
