At The Guardian, Jeb Lund explains that Trump's victories aren't mysterious if you understand why people are angry, which very few people in politics or the media appreciate, even now.  But
you don’t need some grand overarching political science theory. There
are millions of miserable people in America who know exactly who
engineered the shattering of their worlds, and Trump isn’t one of those
people – and, with the exception of Bernie Sanders, everyone else in
the field is running on the basis of their experience being one of
those people.When you are abused and bullied enough, anyone willing to beat up or burn down whomever put you in that position is your friend. Even a bully can be a hero if he targets others bullies – and that is, more or less, what Trump has done since day one. [FULL] |

He's basically saying conservatives are racist haters of anyone non white. Tea party is racist. Cruz is racist. Etc. Author writes for Rolling Stone and Vice. He may have targeted the anger but he still thinks those who are angry are stupid haters.

"The Guardian" A left wing British newspaper that is rabidly anti-American.
ReplyDelete. In this instance he is half-right about the dislike of the US populace for the Washington Establishment.
He almost gets it. He just misses the part where we are also angry at elitist, uptight, know it all, condescending, diversity loving, politically correct, status quo enabling, obscure word and reference using, commentary writers.
