Thanks. Appreciated. I've been trying to figure out the core of the Trump phenomena for quite some time. You asked some good questions that solidified some ideas.
[understatement] Mind you, I don't expect that all my countrymen will agree with all of the above. [/understatement] Again, I'm floating a vile stereotype. There are a lot of 'deplorable' folk that fit the stereotype to some degree. Not every Republican is a perfect manifestation of the stereotype. Far from it.
Will it ever be sorted out? Well, am not a firm believer that the S&H cycles will continue to run as regularly as they did during the Industrial Age. I anticipate that computers, recyclable energy and weapons of mass destruction will significantly transform how things work, as much as the printing press, steam engine and gunpowder. Still, I don't anticipate an end of history. The problem of equality won't be totally solved in the immediate future, nor will the problem of unequal distribution of wealth be resolved. While the cycles might not run like clockwork, I believe more awakenings and crises lurk in our future.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
