The attitude that led to Trumps victory is born of the very belief that the ship sailed long ago. It turns out that when you paint your common man as a villain, their ego is all too happy to oblige. Or just burn out and stay home, calling it someone else's problem.

I'm not sure why you are so eager to blame your common man when you yourself are quick to point out that billionaires are the problem.

The common man keeps falling for it when he has an obligation to be better

I do blame the common man. Shit like this is why I'm a misanthrope. Humanity is so disappointing. Biggest brains imaginable, yet not using them.
Reality is making me a bitter man.
