What's behind the rise of Trump?

Slowly in the background you hear a dull roar, barely discernible. Then it builds, and builds, and builds. What are the tired masses saying? “andrew yang, Andrew Yang, ANDREW YANG, ANDREW YANG, ANDREW YANG!!!”

Excellent analysis. Thank you for sharing this views with us. I believe we are going to experiment interesting times going forward. The scottish Economist Alexander Fraser Tyler basically said the same things 250 years ago : "A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largess from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy collapses over loose fiscal policy...always followed by a dictatorship." ---Sir Alex Fraser Tytler, University of Edinburgh (1714-1778)
