Back in 2012, I wrote a long review for The Daily Beast of Charles Murray's much discussed book, "Coming Apart." Over time, the formatting got scrambled in a way that made it difficult to tell quotes from text. @WindsorMann kindly edited a clean version davidfrum.com/article/charle…
@WindsorMann The review may help illuminate why GOP voters were vulnerable to appeal of Trump in 2015-2016. In 2011-2012, it was standard GOP doctrine that the troubles of working-class Americans were substantially their own fault, that little or nothing could or should be done to help them
@WindsorMann "Coming Apart" was a landmark statement of that pre-Trump orthodoxy. My review was another in my unsuccessful attempts to warn conservatives that this disdainful way of thinking would lead nowhere good. davidfrum.com/article/charle… Thanks again to @WindsorMann
@WindsorMann Windsor also reminds me of this I wrote in 2011: a reminder of how I always seem to be waiting alone for the uptown bus when everyone I know is happily crowding together for downtown. davidfrum.com/article/two-ch…
