[quote=Anonymous][quote]The Democrats were treating lack of a college degree as a moral failing. "The uneducated" can either side with a guy who props them up as an example to emulate, or side with a group who thinks they're morally lacking. Which would you choose, in their shoes?

I would choose neither, but I'm not in the group being sacrificed by the Democrats or gained by Trump.[/quote]

No, that's not true.  American culture treats poverty as a moral failing.  It's hard to accept the idea that if you don't have wealth it's because you don't deserve it, but that's the gift of Republican policy.

If you don't have access to something essential to upward mobility - education, health care, strong social networks - there's nothing left but to devalue those things.  It doesn't mean those things are not essential.

Now Trump, Republicans and their supporters are in a Catch-22:  the supporters have raised the demand for a fix, but their elected leaders have rejected out of hand the fixes that would improve their situation.

I think the hope that Trump wants to "shake things up" is well-founded because he has.  But his ability to fix things is pretty clearly not up to the task.
