Incredible!  But, as the article states, Trump's victory may turn out to be the best thing for the progressive cause, assuming, of course, that the SCOTUS judges can live on (and on and on!)

It is interesting that the average total schooling of the "white working men" has increased by less than 8 month between 1974 and now.    During the same period the Gerald schooling of the 'average working men' in most of the developed and developing world went up by several years. The average 'white working men" of the US enjoyed several years more schooling than the working men of any other country in 1945. By 1975 Germany and Japan's average working men has caught up and now surpasses 'White working men". Now the average working men in coastal china has caught up and surpassed them.

The sort of "work" tend to be done by the white "working" man is generally the sort that would become increasingly less important, and also the sort in which the US suffers from an increasingly large, and essentially irremediable, structural disadvantage.

To cater to the desire of white working man to continue to be paid well without being spanked hard and forced becoming something other, and more accurately and precisely, far better educated and far better, than the "white working man", is to mortgage the future of both this country, and of the selfsame "white working man".

The victory of trump is therefore the victory in the battle to position the US even less well in the world in 25 or 50 years.
