I want to agree with him but he said Bill Clinton and then Barack Obama as if Bush Jr. wasn't smack dab in the middle of the 2 of them. Which would be fine except that he mentioned Iraq which was Bush's cross to bear.
But I agree that Trump was a pendulum swing against what's been going on in the mainstream parties. I don't think it has anything to do with Dems abandoning middle class workers. It does have to do with half the country being poor. And a large percentage of those poor people not being able to cope with why they're "poor".
They needed an excuse for changing economic demographics that allows them to maintain the fiction that they were the victims of big, bad government. Instead of the reality which is that the things they used to do for the economy just aren't that valuable anymore and they don't know how to adapt/bootstrap. That the advantages they they took for granted in the economy of the past have been slowly replaced by a more egalitarian system which leaves large swathes of them on the bottom of the country looking up, instead of looking down.
Because the poor and the uneducated struggling to get ahead didn't bother them when they could foist it off on other people being stupid or lazy. Now that they're the poor, suddenly it's systemic.
We get it. You hate white people.
