“…The rural soil symbolizes hard work, true life, masculinity, and a frontier mentality. From nativists' perspective, all this seems to be “under attack,” “taken away” by those who are foreign to those traditions: immigrants and urban elites alike (Bucci 2017). Trump's infamous slogan clearly promises that the current crisis of American social relations will be followed by a bright future where the good old days of white American hegemony will be reinstalled.…”

This article scrutinizes the employment of temporality in nativist discourse. Looking at nostalgia in the context of contemporary nativism reveals that the operative temporality is not limited to just the past. The perception of "threat," central to nativism, does not only inform historical claims made by nostalgic nativists, but also refers to the present and to the future in which this threat is to be overcome. After defining nativism, the article focuses on nostalgic invocations of the national past. To what (imagined) times do nativists refer when they speak about the "good old days"? What exactly is perceived as attractive about those days? The next section deals with the dystopian and utopian invocations of the future. As for the empirical scope of this article, we focus on the two most influential representatives of the Dutch radical right: Partij voor de Vrijheid and Forum voor Democratie. We conducted a discourse analysis of textual and verbal material from the period between 2006 and 2021. By analyzing the entanglements of past, present, and the future in nativist discourses, this article seeks to enrich our understanding of the role temporality plays in the dominant debates about national belonging.

“…Education, for example, is negatively associated with Trump support, but it is unclear whether something about a lack of educational attainment itself makes Trump more appealing or lower educational attainment merely serves as a proxy for other orientations (Silver, 2016). Others saw a theme of working class vulnerability in Trump's campaign communications (Bucci, 2017;Morgan & Lee, 2018), but a wide range of analyses employing different models, data, and assumptions suggest that-at best-economics is an inconsistent predictor of support (e.g., Green & McElwee, 2018;Mutz, 2018;Ogorzalek et al, 2020;Silver, 2016).…”

Scholars have identified many social-psychological factors correlated with support for Donald Trump; however, attempts at modeling these factors tend to suffer from omitted variable bias on the one hand, or multicollinearity on the other. Both issues obscure inferences. Using two nationally representative surveys, we demonstrate the perils of including or failing to include many of these factors in models of Trump support. We then reconceptualize the social-psychological sources of Trump support as components of a broader “profile” of factors that explains Trump support in 2018 and vote choice in 2016, as well as attitudes about issues connected to Trump. Moreover, this profile—an amalgamation of attitudes about, for example, racial groups, immigrants, and political correctness—rivals partisanship and ideology as predictors of Trump support and is negatively related to support for mainstream Republican candidates. Our analyses suggest that Trump benefited from activating dimensions of public opinion that transcend traditional party cleavages.

The address situates the rise of “gig” work in the context of a much longer-term trend toward more precarious forms of employment. It explores the forces that are driving these developments and discusses the problems they pose at both the individual level and the national level. By situating the United States in a comparative perspective, it identifies the structural factors that exacerbate the problem of precarity and intensify its effects in the American political economy.
