    His base always felt like the government was against them. This wasn’t new to Trump, he just really took that view and ran with it.

    The problem is how to discuss very difficult to understand topics with a group of highly undereducated and very angry people. With the move away from an economy that thrived on pure effort into one that requires a deeper understanding, we now have a huge chunk of the population that feels left behind. The only problem is there isn’t a path for them to catch up.

    And to make matters worse their political party has thrived on creating an angry, undereducated base. All of their policies actively harm their electorate and yet they keep getting votes.

    The GOP base are like people who got bit by a racoon with rabies and instead of going to the doctor the lick the racoon’s face. Then they get angry at water because they are nuts.
