the feminist librarian reads

Of course most of those pundits are white people with at least a Bachelor’s degree, and there’s quite a bit of condescension built into these narratives. It’s implied that these under-educated white folks are dumb enough to believe a toxic showman who outsources the production of all his tacky merch to China and Bangladesh – and personally recruited undocumented workers to build his high-rises on the cheap – is going to protect American workers against global competition. It’s wrong to assume that people who didn’t get a college degree are stupid.
