@newyorktimes Uh, so greed is bad now. But if Hinojosa can find a way to make them less salient, it could portend not just seismic change in Texas, but the beginning of a political realignment. If some fraction of socially conservative voters conclude that rapacious billionaires threaten them more than supercilious liberals, it would remake America’s political map. For decades now, we’ve lived in an era dominated by what scholars call post-material politics, in which values, identity and self-expression have often taken precedence over economic concerns. What if that era is coming to an end? What opportunities would that open up, and what ideological sacrifices would it require?
