i'm still not convinced the white working class, rather than the landed white middle class, the elderly, and a lack of dem/progressive/leftist/minority enthusiasm for clinton, were responsible for the results

everybody on the right and on the far left keeps saying it but none of them provide me with anything other than anecdotes and spite when i ask them to prove it

it smells a lot like everybody just buying into a narrative the right has been using forever

You can check the exit polls but small towns/rural folks overwhelmingly voted for Trump. Suburbs went to Trump as well.

i'm sure you're at least partly aware of this but it's not a matter of forgetting, most schools don't talk about that poo poo and the popular narrative of the civil rights movement is that pacifist hero mlk jr got blacks equal treatment by standing around and letting people punch him in the face until their arms got tired

yeah I'm aware, and I should stop being such a loving history nerd I suppose

it's amazing how many lies school teaches you. you grow up and if you start doing any research at all you realize that literally everything they taught you about american history was an overly-sanitized lie and I can't help but think we're here right now partially because of that

I don't doubt that, what I'm curious about is

1) if it's actually different than how they turned out predictably for the gop in almost every other modern election

2) whether "suburbs went to trump" should be taken as an indicator of how the "working class" or white poor think, because the city mouse/country mouse narrative of rich and poor is some real hokey bullshit (as a person who lives in a rural area with a low cost of living and a bunch of millionaires who voted for donald trump)

if we taught kids how poo poo really went down in this country and encouraged them to not make the same mistakes that we did, I would have some hope that they could turn out better

Capital is actually a really useful text, but it's incredibly dense and unforgiving if you don't have a firm handle on the stuff Marx is conjuring up.

I'm speaking more specifically about his texts on the 1848-1851 French revolution.

i would say this happened not because nobody reads that stuff but because the people who read that stuff tend to in application mostly use it to teach undergrads

Maybe. An understanding of history is v. useful though, especially if you want to understand the reason why things are happening in the present.
