You've edited your original post too many times since I responded it's now unclear what I was protesting, but with this post I think we're actually arguing the same thing. I agree that the Trump campaign is giving voice to populations previously unheard, but that's also what Bernie Sanders did. And while Sanders was obviously somewhat of a moonshot candidate, he had firm beliefs and some plans. Trump is a purely speculative candidate who has flip-flopped on every issue too many times for anyone to count, in an attempt to speak for as wide an audience as possible, uniting them against common enemies. What he does not have is any realistic plans of doing anything good. The subtitle to the motherjones article is literally: "How Donald Trump took a narrative of unfairness and twisted it to his advantage."
