Denouement of U.S. Empire

How do you do your duty when the boss has the mind of a chimpanzee?

Are you still employed at your job? If so, then you already have your answer.

Ever since Donald J. Trump began his improbable political rise, many pundits have credited his appeal among white, Christian and male voters to “economic anxiety.” Hobbled by unemployment and locked out of the recovery, those voters turned out in force to send Mr. Trump, and a message, to Washington.
Or so that narrative goes.
A study published on Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences questions that explanation, the latest to suggest that Trump voters weren’t driven by anger over the past, but rather fear of what may come. White, Christian and male voters, the study suggests, turned to Mr. Trump because they felt their status was at risk.

“It’s much more of a symbolic threat that people feel,’’ said Diana C. Mutz, the author of the study and a political science and communications professor at the University of Pennsylvania, where she directs the Institute for the Study of Citizens and Politics. “It’s not a threat to their own economic well-being; it’s a threat to their group’s dominance in our country over all.”

More good news for the U. S. of A.:

"The United States, the country of the First Amendment, has fallen again in the Index under Donald Trump, this time two places to 45th," the report says. "A media-bashing enthusiast, Trump has referred to reporters 'enemies of the people,' the term once used by Joseph Stalin."
"The U.S.' decline in press freedom is not simply bad news for journalists working inside the country; the downward trend has drastic consequences at the international level," the report noted. " 'Fake news' is now a trademark excuse for media repression, in both democratic and authoritarian regimes."

Russia and China are drawing closer together as Washington ratchets up pressure on Moscow and Beijing.
In recent months, the United States has enacted sanctions against Moscow and has imposed a series of trade tariffs on Beijing, antagonizing both great powers simultaneously. As result of American pressure, the two powers—which already had grievances against Washington—have formed a strategic partnership to balance against the U.S-led liberal hegemony.

Russia and China had a vicious split in the 1960s. Now they are in a budding bromance.

There's been some REALLY interesting work done over the years on this status issue. For a long time there has been this question of why white working class voters have "sided against their own interests" by refusing political coalition with non-white working class voters. The proposed explanation is that there are economic benefits for maintaining status over non-white voters: first rights to jobs, easier career mobility, access to better areas for housing, etc. It's supported by other frameworks like Strober's Queue Theory.

So basically, they aren't voting against their own economic interests by embracing politicians who aren't friendly to working class issues but who are friendly to policies that entrench structural white privilege.

I'm quite retarded.

Yep.

What a racist pile of shit. You Leftist got real good at hiding your racism and sexism in moral indignation. Unfortunately for you, people are seeing through it and calling it out. This is such a blatant piece of racism that it barely needs pointing out. There is no "structural white privilege" in America, there is only societal norms of being raised to finish school, get a job and not have babies out of wedlock or perhaps the notion that one should not live your life sucking from the government tit like a dependent newborn or not. Sell your racism elsewhere.
