My hot take is that ~50 years of wage stagnation makes a country bitter. Especially when you see how well it correlates with international trade being liberalized. The people have a reason to be pissed. I'm in favor of free trade, but no politician or economist has come up with a good plan to deal with how the wealth is currently being distributed. We need better ideas, because all normal politically feasible tools haven't seemed to work. Though I wouldn't say America has tried very hard at addressing it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_wages https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_wages
