A calm look at why the Democratic Party lost the Working class (PBS)
18 min but can speed up the playback.
Trump tapped into the need for pride of community and country. Very important for a cohesive society. The credentialed class looked down on the working class and embraced Globalism and off-shoring at the expense of everyone else. Out of touch.
Class warfare, the better off versus the losers in an economic sense.
The interviewer and Author Michael Sandel are calmly discussing an important subject that the Democratic Party may never accept which is the core beliefs of the two parties have flipped. The Dems could or would not read the mood of the population. I still believe the core base of the Dems are likened to a cult as they could not rationally see the absurdity of the direction the party was taking the country. To be fair, both parties have a core support group that will vote their party no matter what. Absolutely no way they will change. When presented with information rational people need to evaluate and change if necessary. That is why blood letting is no longer used for all ailments.
The comments are always good. I skim them before watching most videos to get a sense of direction. A mixture of opposite views.
