In their despair at Donald Trump’s victory, liberal pundits are concluding that the masses, especially the working class, are irredeemably terrible. That’s apolitical nonsense.

    That’s part of it. The other part is that they can’t be honest about their vision because it (perpetrating the neoliberal status quo) isn’t actually what the working class wants.

    Or rather, they can be honest about it, but then they lose. Then, of course, they learn the wrong lesson, blame anybody but themselves, rinse and repeat.

    [Edit: LOL, I just realized I accidentally wrote “perpetrating” instead of “perpetuating.” Oh well, it fits so I’ll leave it.]
