  1. 60% of Americans are reading and writing at a 6th Grade level. 1 in 3 of them are at an 8 year old level. This means that they haven't progressed from concrete to abstract thinking. They do not have critical thinking skills. They do not know who Murdoch is or what he is doing. Or what he owns. 60% of Americans can't get $500 together for an emergency. They work 2-3 jobs and can't pay rent and buy food for their children. Then they have to "volunteer" for food stamps. Both Republicans and Democrats conspired to use "Poverty as a Policy Choice" and both have let greedflation take over. Some folks are so angry and desperate that they want someone punished even if it is themselves. Neoliberalism shifts a citizen in a country who has rights and responsibilities to a consumer in a market place who is to blame if they do not purchase wisely. Both Republicans and Democrats embraced neoliberalism which leaves folks feeling like they don't belong and lonely. Trump's rallies engenders a sense of belonging and a catharsis. Trump with rat cunning exploits these vulnerabilities.
