[quote=millennial]Though unlike the time when Germany voted for Hitler, our economy is actually pretty good and getting better.[/quote]I think that’s the problem right there. With globalism, economy is quite good for the upper half and the poor of the world. But it has left the poor of this country behind. I think a lot of free trader and globalism people fail to understand and sympathize with those who are adversely affected by globalism. I’m a big free trader who are quite sadden by both major parties backing away from it. But I also sympathize with those disenfranchised and understand their pain and understand why they voted the way they did.
You bring up Hitler in Germany, but I also like to point you to Communist China/Vietnam. The rich kept on getting richer and the cronyism there left a lot of the country behind. Then some eloquent person spoke of how great it would be if they (the poor and disenfranchised, left behind people) can live as good of a live as those corrupt politicians and rich people. And as they say, the rest is history. I’m seeing some similarities here, right now. Which is why we should put down the poor and uneducated who are affected by globalism. We should find way to help them for the sake of our nation’s stability.
Also keep in not everyone vote for him because of the wall. I think many vote for him base on pocket book issue. Why else would 29% of latino would vote for him?
