Reaching the Boiling Point
The change-over in the House was predicted by pundits from the day of Donald Trump’s election and therefore means very little. Nonetheless, it does show that the American electorate–it is hardly possible to speak of Americans as “a people”–is not only divided by class and region and race but even segments that supported Trump two years ago failed him. A cynic might say it is because America’s blue-collar class and Middle Americans in general are fat, stupid, and cowardly, and cynics are generally right.
