Thoughtful article, worth the full read.
Incentives are different. The people? Not as different as Charles Murray wishes... Odd to think Murray doesn't 'get it'... he's been living in an intectually self-serving bubble too long.
That said, he's right about Hillary losing because of the deplorable comment... she's as out of touch as he is - maybe more so.

Yes, she did alienate many who weren’t used to paying attention. She can only blame her own mouth.
Reaction to Hillary’s ‘deplorables’ remark....
THE WRATH OF THE AWAKENED SAXON
by Rudyard Kipling
It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late,
With long arrears to make good,
When the Saxon began to hate.
They were not easily moved,
They were icy — willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Saxon began to hate.
Their voices were even and low.
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not preached to the crowd.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not suddently bred.
It will not swiftly abate.
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the Saxon began to hate.
I believe this is true.
But it would not have had the same effect without the preceding 10 years or so of calling everyone and his cat a racist, bigot, homophobe, Islamaphobe, ect.
Her statement was the very last straw.
Bump.....
