Well, at least we know what &quot;side&quot; you&#x27;re on.<p>&gt; For the white lower middle class [...] Those are the people who support Trump and the Tea Party.<p>There&#x27;s another white lower middle class - the educated but underemployed left (think literature majors waiting tables), and they&#x27;re also terrified.<p>They&#x27;re terrified that we&#x27;re just an election away from mandating every rape victim be violated with a penetrative ultrasound, or that they&#x27;re guaranteed to be shot on sight by some redneck if we allow open carry.<p>As someone holding both liberal and conservative positions, I&#x27;m always dumfounded when the left believes the right has the monopoly on fear.
