Re: The Federalist.
They said (my emphasis):
They said (my emphasis):
I don't know. My civil engineering shop shut down because there was no money for projects because of the financial meltdown cause by elite bankers (none of them went to jail) and who benefited hugely from the Commodity Futures Modernization Act and the Community Reinvestment Act. Maybe also my skill set didn't match changing economic reality. But I think the second thing was there, too.Trump was able to convince rural and working-class people that he was the answer to their collective malaise. Economic anxiety, which Never Trumpers are so wont to point out as the reason for his success, is intimately tied to cultural issues, because the anxiety is seen as a product of unfair cultural decline. You didn’t lose your job because your skill set didn’t match a changing economic reality. Instead, it was the result of a rigged system that benefits the elite, liberal urban centers on each coast and their progressively government-dependent constituents, at your expense.
In a less polarized environment, that schtick might be seen for the nonsense that it is.
Note to self: start reading sig lines. They're actually quite amusing. :D

'Regulate' used to mean the opposite of 'constipate.'
