    I think the pivot to the right in the white working class is overstated. These people overwhelmingly live vastly more comfortable existences than minorities of the same status. These people were always right wing socially, they can afford to vote on social issues (broadly, speaking). When you use college education as the dividing line, you obscure the dynamics.
