The 2016 election is almost two years behind us, but arguments over why Donald Trump won haven’t stopped. Because Mr. Trump drew support from white voters with less formal education — the “white working class” — many attributed his victory to Americans’ economic anxiety.

But this narrative has obscured the true nature of Mr. Trump’s coalition. On the whole, Trump voters were never extraordinarily economically distressed. And now the economically distressed are actually less likely to approve of Mr. Trump’s performance as president.

WOW! Talk about packing 10 lbs of BS in a 5 Lb bag. That was only 4 sentences. The NYT is improving its efficiency in the opinion columns. They have a formula now. Squeeze in the premise concisely right out of the gate. Then message some logic to lull the lemmings off the cliff and frogs into the pot.
