Chuck Darwin<p>“Those most enthralled with Donald Trump were not at the very bottom <br />— the illiterate, the hungry,” sociologist Arlie Russell Hochschild writes in her forthcoming book &quot;Stolen Pride&quot;</p><p>Rather, Trump’s biggest fans could be found among <br />⭐️“the elite of the left-behind,” <br />meaning people “who were doing well within a region that was not.”</p><p>It’s an observation that cuts against the prevailing theory of Trumpism: that he is the tribune of the left-behind and impoverished white people suffering due to globalization. <br />It is also one that is backed by hard data.</p><p>In 2020, three political scientists studied how location and income affected white voters’ voting decisions. </p><p>They found that, on a national level, poorer white people were indeed more likely to vote for Trump than richer ones. </p><p>But when you factored in local conditions <br />— the fact that your dollar can buy more in Biloxi than Boston <br />— the relationship reverses. </p><p>“<a href="https://c.im/tags/Locally" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Locally</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/rich" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>rich</span></a>” white people, those who had higher incomes than others in their zip codes, <br />were much more likely to support Trump than those who were locally poor. </p><p>These people might make less money than a wealthy person in a big city, but were doing relatively well when compared to their neighbors.<br /><a href="https://www.vox.com/politics/369797/trump-support-class-local-rich-arlie-hochschild" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">vox.com/politics/369797/trump-</span><span class="invisible">support-class-local-rich-arlie-hochschild</span></a></p>
