El mejor análisis que he podido ver de lo que ha pasado en USA desde el punto de vista social y de mentalidad, que es fácilmente replicable a la España de hoy.

A destacar:
-El poco o nulo respeto del establishment demócrata, prensa y TV sobre la gente que piensa diferente y la ridiculización de la clase productiva enclavada en un aura de superioridad sarracena.
"Hillary Clinton, by contrast, epitomizes the dorky arrogance and smugness of the professional elite. The dorkiness: the pantsuits. The arrogance: the email server. The smugness: the basket of deplorables. Worse, her mere presence rubs it in that even women from her class can treat working-class men with disrespect. Look at how she condescends to Trump as unfit to hold the office of the presidency and dismisses his supporters as racist, sens, homophobic, or xenophobic."
-Solución para la deslocalización industrial? Según los demócratas....Pais de purisima y camareros. WWC es "white working class" y "pink collar" sector "servicios". Algo que llevan haciendo unos y otros en España las tres últimas décadas.
"The Democrats’ solution? Last week the New York Times published an article advising men with high-school educations to take pink-collar jobs. Talk about insensitivity. Elite men, you will notice, are not flooding into traditionally feminine work. To recommend that for WWC men just fuels class anger."
-¿ A quién va dirigido el mensaje demócrata?
Desde luego no a gente que quiere un puesto de trabajo razonablemente estable, mandar a sus descendientes al colegio con ciertas opciones de ir a la universidad, va a la iglesia los domingos (o a jugar un partido de fútbol con los amigos). Trasladándolo a nuestro pais, desde luego no a la gente que está siendo olvidada sistemáticamente de toda política social y que ha pasado de optar a una carrera más o menos definida "estudio-beca-contrato junior-contrato senior-trabajo estable" a lo que tenemos hoy en día.
"Understand That Working Class Means Middle Class, Not Poor
The terminology here can be confusing. When pogre talk about the working class, typically they miccionan the poor. But the poor, in the bottom 30% of American families, are very different from Americans who are literally in the middle: the middle 50% of families whose median income was $64,000 in 2008. That is the true “middle class,” and they call themselves either “middle class” or “working class.”
“The thing that really gets me is that Democrats try to offer policies (paid sick leave! minimum wage!) that would help the working class,” a friend just wrote me. A few days’ paid leave ain’t gonna support a family. Neither is minimum wage. WWC men aren’t interested in working at McDonald’s for $15 per hour instead of $9.50. What they want is what my father-in-law had: steady, stable, full-time jobs that deliver a solid middle-class life to the 75% of Americans who don’t have a college degree. Trump promises that. I doubt he’ll deliver, but at least he understands what they need."
- Subsidios. Lo vivimos diariamente en España.
"Remember when President Obama sold Obamacare by pointing out that it delivered health care to 20 million people? Just another program that taxed the middle class to help the poor, said the WWC, and in some cases that’s proved true: The poor got health insurance while some Americans just a notch richer saw their premiums rise.
Pogre have lavished attention on the poor for over a century. That (combined with other factors) led to social programs targeting them. Means-tested programs that help the poor but exclude the middle may keep costs and tax rates lower, but they are a recipe for class conflict. Example: 28.3% of poor families receive child-care subsidies, which are largely nonexistent for the middle class. So my sister-in-law worked full-time for Head Start, providing free child care for poor women while earning so little that she almost couldn’t pay for her own. She resented this, especially the fact that some of the kids’ moms did not work. One arrived late one day to pick up her child, carrying shopping bags from Macy’s. My sister-in-law was livid."
En fin, merece ser leido si se tiene un ratillo y se quiere practicar el inglés.
