  1. Both Republicans and Democrats conspired to use "Poverty as a Policy Choice", this is "The Deep State" that many rightly want to destroy. Americans are so stressed, frustrated, and angry. They are so outraged that they have a desperate need for someone to be punished even if it ends up being themselves. As Michael Moore said voting for Trump was the biggest '"F@ck you" in American history"'. Wealth equality is profound and visceral issue for so many. There is Intergenerational despair, anger and rage. Two people have more wealth than the bottom 60% of Americans. 60% of Americans live pay check to pay check. They cannot get $500 together for an emergency. They work 2-3 jobs and can't pay rent and/or buy food for their children. Then they have to "volunteer" to get food stamps. They muffle their grief watch family and friends die for a lack of medical treatment. 60% of Americans are reading and writing at a 6th Grade level this means that they haven't progressed from concrete thinking to abstract thinking. This means that they haven't got critical thinking skills. They have, however, a well developed sense of injustice and if voting for Trump upsets those who have kept the gates closed from them having a living wage, then they want the scapegoats to be someone other than themselves. Let those with money, access and a platform start to feel the stress that permeates every facet of their lives. A living wage from one job and access to health care would have prevented the rise of Trump. Not scapegoating poor people would have prevented the rise of Trump. Democrats and Republicans conspiring to keep Americans poor using "Poverty as a Policy Choice" rightfully brought rage, anger and despair that had to be answered in some way, Democrats and Republicans brought this on America.
