A Rising segment about the long-running realignment of the working class.

Rising is my favorite news show on YouTube, by far. Neither host is a Marxist-Leninist; one is a democratic socialist Bernie voter, and the other is a populist-conservative Trump voter. Of the two, I think I like the populist-conservative, Saagar Enjeti, better. He is reasonably left on economic terms, and his closer connection with the working class on cultural issues compared to the Bernie voter Krystal Ball means that his economic left agenda has a better chance of coming to pass. They react to the real news, as well as whatever the liberal media's up to that day. Rising is a great way to keep the pulse of the actual working class, in the way that Politico is a great way to keep the pulse of the actual bourgeoisie. These two are better weathervanes of socialism than all of Leftbook combined, because socialism won't be possible until the Krystals and Saagars of the world see and report that it is.

The clip above shares the straightforward polling, which is what I wanted everyone to see. Since 1980, there has been a steady realignment of the richest 100 counties and the most educated people (another proxy for class) from the Republicans to the Democrats. Anyone hoping to kick off the revolution in the party of the slaveowners is going to have to get over these notions. Leftists must retrain our mental habits and begin to regard the GOP as the lesser evil. I will make a longer post about this soon, possibly even a bookshelf entry (I have the article mostly written). But I also wanted to show off my favorite TV show, because Rising is such a valuable resource.
