Right! No dam alternative to the right wing, people turn to God, and so many were already born again in the 80's added more to the religious mix. With nothing but negative choices to escape the misery of working class life and the separation of the elite from society the vote for Trump was a cry for help despite how ugly or proudly it was expressed. The vote for Trump are the hidden injuries of class coming together in someone powerful enough to challenge them. They can only hope he will challenge the elites and make working class lives better. That their vote was not wasted on the quintessential moment that could have turned things around for them, The moment the Tea party stole for the republicans and the democrats were too blind to see. They (We, Us) can only hope the vote was not wasted on a man the republicans and democrats do not steel or is defeated as so many before had been cut down from them. Religion heels and brings back a fundamental yearning for stability in working class family's lives. Lives totally disjointed by social instability is always fertile ground for a rise of movements of any persuasion. What accounts for the blindness in democrats is class distinction. What accounts for the blindness of the working class is oppression. What accounts for the power of capital is labor. At this historical juncture, this particular generation of workers, are not at the point of realizing their strength is in their numbers, nor have they come to a realization that the antidote to a corrupt civil society is not religion or free markets but in their own class awakening. Economics is the big thing! Social and political economics in particular that the next generation will use to accompany its collective strength as they react to working class strangulation by the financial machinery of Wall Street.
