Deepspace I am with Daniel above. The economy is just the excuse, as Daniel said the reall issue was hate, that is why the voters voted progressive then voted for Trump

Hate stems from fear. The fear is loss of the masculine imperative. Power over women. There are many women, maybe most, that perceive the man as their protector and provider. That was Trump's appeal to women when he said I am your protector and they voted for himwill voting for abortion.

The women who read and comment on Thom Hartman's substck and Robert Reich's are actually in the minority., as are the men who are not threatened with female empowerment.

I don't disagree; fear begets hate begets anger begets misogyny, xenophobia, racism, religeous bigotry, and all the rest of our darkest inclinations as flawed human beings. Autocrats thirsting after power know this full well and have been fanning the flames of our worst instincts since the dawn of civilization -- divide and conquer, works everytime. Today is no different. We really haven't advance much as a species, destroying our society and environment as a result, shitting in our own nest on a worldwide scale.
