I don’t really know how true this shit is. Is it possible to estimate the 1920s and 30s? Or specifically I guess those born in the 1850s to 1900s? Those would be the people who grew into voting age in the 20s and 30s. How much lead exposure did they have?
I am extremely skeptical of blaming voting on this.
I’m inclined to agree that focusing on one thing can’t explain a complex social process like voting, at most lead exposure is just one piece of the tapestry that is Amerikkkan material conditions, but it is very doomer to consider that we almost solved this particular problem only to bring it back less than a generation later.
