Many Americans’ baseline is that ‘Golden Age’ of the immediate post-World War II era, the idea that you could have a single breadwinner, not college-educated, in a good union manufacturing job, and they could be middle class and send their kids to college. There’s a strong argument to be made that’s a big part of Trump’s appeal. That’s what ‘Make America Great Again’ is, in part, about.
