Recently, Dan spoke to Nikhil Pal Singh about the unfortunate and never-ending
debate over whether it was economics or racism that got Trump elected. This is
a sequel to that discussion: because what Malaika Jabali powerfully exposes in
a Current Affairs piece combining on-the-ground reporting in Milwaukee and
historical and data analysis is that when we talk about the impact of economic
crisis on Trump's victory, the condition of Black poor and working-class
people—many of whom decided to stay home on election day—must be at its
center.
