This is a Hall of Fame reader comment on a very reactionary op-ed about Zohran Mamdani's victory that was published in my local paper today.

A recent @nytimes.com analysis found that over the last three presidential elections "Republicans are overwhelmingly making gains in working-class counties. Democrats are improving almost exclusively in wealthier areas." Our research shows similar patterns among donors. 🧵 cup.org/4cfm0Az
Plutopopulism: Wealth and Trump’s Financial Base

SEAN KATES, ERIC MANNING, TALI MENDELBERG and OMAR WASOW

Comparative scholarship suggests authoritarian candidates often rely on backing from the wealthy. The wealthy are also said to play an important role in American campaign finance. Studies of Donald Trump, however, found that he drew significant support from white Americans with less education and privilege. We evaluate wealthy and non-wealthy Americans’ financial support for Trump, compared to other candidates, by constructing a comprehensive dataset of property values matched to contributions and voter files. We find Trump underperformed among wealthy Republican donors while mobilizing new non-wealthy donors. Trump also diversified the donorate, especially by education. That is, Trump built an unusual coalition of wealthy and non-wealthy donors. Our results support an alternative, “plutopopulist” model of Trump’s financial base.

I told someone they won't load/unload the dishwasher in 2032, a robot will do it. They said they're uncomfortable w/ a "slave". Better for robots not to be human-like & AIs not to be conversational. I want AIs/robots to do stuff for me, not be human-like. My GE dishwasher is a machine, not a slave

Remember the joy of the 2024 Democratic National Convention. The joy felt like a mass movement but was actually an insular bubble that was out of touch with the mainstream. The same bubble is now showing up to protest and not seeing the bubble.
