I hesitate to even bring him up, but Trump's overt rejection of the neo-liberal trade policy consensus that's been embraced by the leaders of both parties since Reagan, is a highly underrated component of his appeal.
(for the record, no, I don't like the guy, but I think his campaigns and his platform, such as it was, are fascinating and that over-simplifying the story of how he got elected & why people voted for him is a dangerous trap)
- ddingus 5y agoYes, this is bigger than Trump. Been happening for decades on now. Honestly, Trump bumbled around and made a lot more obvious to more people. In addition to just being Trump. I can tell you a lot of people went for Trump, 70 million total this last time, precisely because they saw Trump as not being part of that order. Fascinating indeed!
