Scott Brown Drives a Truck and Enjoys Pandering
"The British historian Arnold Toynbee argued that civilizations thrive when the lower classes aspire to be like the upper classes, and they decay when the upper classes try to be like the lower classes. Looked at through this prism, it's hard not to see America in a prolonged period of decay."
The above is from a Jonah Goldberg op-ed (that's not really worth reading and doesn't delve into Scott Brown's choice of vehicle he uses to pander to voters), but that quote still amounts to an interesting theory.
