    Keep thinking about this thic layer of middle income class thing. There is a popular tweet yesterday quoting a gallop poll saying among registered voters 50% something feel their life is getting better than 4 years ago. It seems absurd, esp. during a fucking pandemic, but, Twitter replies miss the “registered voter” part, which spilled all the secret source: they are the ultimate consumer of the election reality TV show, the culture war, the American Protestantism settler ideology, consuming the American dream until the last drop.
