Why are so many poor and working-class white Americans endorsing policies that are literally killing them?
Jonathan Metzl

That’s the core question I address in the book. I look at the rejection of the Affordable Care Act in the South. I look at policies that make it far easier for people to get guns and carry guns everywhere. I look at tax cuts that benefit wealthy Americans but cut roads, bridges, and schools in poor and working-class areas. Every one of those policies has been sold as a policy that will make America great again. But they have devastating consequences for working-class populations, particularly working-class white populations, in many instances.

You can’t really understand why people might support those agendas if you just start the conversation today. There are long trajectories of anti-government sentiment that course through the South that Trump has tapped into. There are also concerns about what it means to have the government intervene in ways that equally distribute resources that working-class white populations fear might undermine their own sense of privilege.

I think the GOP has also been remarkably successful at tapping into this narrative — a narrative that makes people anxious that immigrants and minorities are going to take away privileges that are theirs.

Why do so many blacks still stay on the Democrat plantation with the results it's provided? Unemployment twice that of whites, bastard birth rates over 70%, food stamp use at a 1 in every 3 1/2 level, a dropout rate higher than any other group, and a crime life at levels far exceeding their proportion in society.

Some people don't require the state to be their daddy. This idea is foreign to statists.
