Many of us have been warning of this for some time. There are similar problems in Europe, but not so culturally extreme. Due to local history, the blindspots are not so prevalent and populists tend to go away.

What is most disconcerning though, is US people seeming to vote against their own interests. Maybe a third party instead of co-opting those who clearly don't have your own interest at heart. But then we see the predicament since the system/culture/billionaires don't support more parties and hard compromises.

They are voting against their own economic interests, but clearly there are other non-economic interests that are more important to them in play here.

We see how loyalty is rewarded in the end game though. People might think they're being smart while being duped into wishful thinking. Just for someone else to get into the next leveraged position to sink everyone around them, in order to "win".

A political platform would be able to reason and explain projects using facts and figures.
