America’s working class had been beaten down by the rapacious practicalities of global capitalism and its penchant for money-saving immigrant labour, damaged by the injustices of high level tax evasion, and have finally found a man to represent them against these immovable forces of the modern economic world ... and that man is a rapacious capitalist and proud tax avoider with an impressively shameless record of employing cheap foreign labour of questionable legality. As the old saying goes, keep your friends close and elect your enemies to the highest possible office. If this is the problem then Trump is a fucking weird solution. It’s basically voting for the very embodiment of the thing that people are protesting about.
