<div class="">Note the relative absence of the usual bluffing, faking & pontificating about “the real issue,” or what made any group of voters</div>
<div class="">vote the way they did. Here, it was more cultural (“values”) than economic, but they were of course intertwined.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">We saw another example of how the “little people,” looking for a national savior or political messiah, will turn to an authoritarian "strong man” </div>
<div class="">or caudillo instead of socialism. I think an unspeakable issue underneath all the complaints about “political correctness” was resentment of all the fierce talk</div>
<div class="">about “white privilege,” while all they could perceive was “black privilege”: affirmative action, welfare entitlements, special exemptions, etc. </div>
