[Fields, A Belden]

While I agree with some of his points, I think Mort's criticism is valid.

This article indeed seems like theatre, not quite coherent, like bad poetry, or drama. Conflated with truths not always correlated to the reasons why Trump triumphed. So many gross assertions about why people rejected Hillary were more reflections of his own biases/ideas than with any verifiable analytical reasons why the poor whites (and others) turned to Trump and/or spurned Hillary.

I don’t think its worth while parsing the whole piece. Its elements of truth (for me) are corrupted by incoherence, irrelevance, and exaggeration.

It's perhaps not an accident that it comes from a playwright. The poets often get there first (even if they sometimes don't know where they've got to).

The election enacted the surprising split between neoliberals and neoconservatives. (And Trump was the Agent of History because he is neither.)
