Thank you very much for this summary. Sadly I do feel some sort of understanding to a lot of Trump voters that genuinely thought they were making a good decision, and I think your summary reflects why people would feel that way. I 100% disagree with them, but I can understand their frustration and do see a lot of that reflected in Canadian politics as well.

I'm curious about the comment on Singh. As long as I've been following/supporting the NDP, I've always felt like they were more working class and really haven't seen a whole lot of identity politics in their expressions. With the exception of maybe racism stuff, but I feel like given Jagmeet's own (obvious) identity, this would be a central issue to him as a leader and to them as a party. I have seen them express in interviews about concerns for the working class many times otherwise.
