The postmodern triumvirate of race, gender, and class has been torn apart. The split seems irreparable and permanent.
Although left-wing militants talk obsessively about race and gender, they now rarely mention class. Tune into NPR, a precise gauge of shallow ideological fashion, and within a sentence or two, the story you’re hearing will reveal itself as yet more hair-splitting about “transphobia” or racism. There is nothing for the blue-collar millions.
Some old Democratic warriors, President Joe Biden among them, still invoke class divisions as though they were still real motivations. But don’t be fooled by talk of “good-paying union jobs.”
