„White trash‟ in the „basket of deplorables‟: Continued crisis of men in America
Journal Title: Environment and Social Psychology - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
The 'post-truth‘ society has produced a compound of two sets of new revolutionaries: We have known about the 'white trash‘ for about 400 years. The 'deplorables‘ represent the new Hillbillies left out by the ravages of globalized economy; 'basement dwellers‘ are reluctant liberals unable to confront the new realities of a hopelessly divided nation.
