Great one ! As a well educated middle aged white woman I am finding that I have nothing in common with them. A lot of the difference I think is that I haven’t had a comfortable life. I grew up without economic stability. My first career was incredibly hard and I had to work hard to be successful. In the last ten years I’ve hit some difficult times without the benefit of family support. So now I do a job that leaves little time or energy to stupid stuff on the side. Actually living in a poor neighborhood and teaching poor kids is great for shattering illusions. I’ve become conservative over several years but more so all the time.

So well written and analyzed, I had to become a paid subscriber. My goodness, your writing makes me wish I had a one million friend group so I could share it with all of them!
