It really depends on who you ask. Stereotypical democrats nowadays primarily measure racial and gender inequality primarily, with economics and wealth inequality coming second and rural incomes and quality of life coming far behind. Stereotypical republicans primarily measure GDP, economic freedom, and total power of the country. Politicans like Sanders and Trump are rising because they focus more on issues like income inequality and declining quality of life for the lower and middle classes. Both address globalization and labor leverage, though they address it differently. While they are culturally diametrically opposed, they are still remaining popular because they are addressing these issues that other politicans don't address, seemingly because big money has caused them to ignore those issues.
