@nprofile1q... From outside the USA I get an impression that MAGA’s appeal was & remains the promise to turn the clock back to some (mostly imaginary) time when America’s (white) men were guaranteed jobs in big industries that were selling big shiny stuff to the world. They dug coal, bashed metal etc Jobs that don’t exist in a mechanised digital world. In industries that have changed with huge investment that the US wasn’t wanting to make anymore because bean counters want short term profits..
