It was about the white working class who had been overlooked and trampled on for so long. They could not change anything, & they had been told that so many times before. The people who were always wrong.So many times they had been told to adapt to the inevitable. Their world belonged to the metro sexuals,the dotcoms and wall st. They were tired of their jobs being shipped off to some foreign country,tired of Obama care,tired of unemployment,tired of watching their sons come home in coffins from some foreign war. Tired of being lied to, & they were tired of seeing their towns fill with migrants. They were tired of seeing their America disappear . They were fathers who couldnt feed their families anymore,mothers who couldnt afford healthcare,workers whose jobs were sold to foreign countries ,whose sons and daughters saw no future. They were the people who didnt matter and couldnt change anything. They put up their hands, and from coast to coast the nation joined with them, they said no and the impossible happened. The great blue wall crumbled. And as Hillary prepared her victory celebrations the impossible states fell one by one. Ohio,,wisconsin,iowa, pennsylvania--- And now we have Trump. A rejection of globalization ,and a follow up to the mood of Brexit,and a precursor to what is begining in Europe. There is now a different drum beginning to beat across the world. |
