Great read! You dissect The Rage of the American Working Man in Chapter Six. Of course, the inevitable question is why is so much of that rage aimed at minorities instead of upward at primarily other white males who are exploiting them? Good question, I ask myself this all the time. Sometimes, in my interviews, I felt like I was listening to a gendered version of Thomas Franks book, Whats the Matter with Kansas? as I listened to men blame those below them on the socioeconomic ladder for problems that were caused by those far above them. Such misdirection is massaged and manipulated. Mens anger is real - in the sense that they have often been badly done by. But just to say that its a real feeling doesnt make it true - that is, it is not an accurate analysis of what caused their situation....
