[Peace-discuss] Blaming Russia is more denial

[Carl G. Estabrook]

Yes. Trump won because Obama voters, especially in the Midwest, stayed home and didn’t vote for HRC. See <http://mondoweiss.net/2017/07/clinton-because-communities/ <http://mondoweiss.net/2017/07/clinton-because-communities/>>.

Why? (1) war (their kids had gone to the military when there were no jobs in Obamatime); and 
(2) ‘populism' (the US middle-class - even the well to do - saw that their prosperity and life chances fell short of those of their parents, after 40 years of increasing and accelerating inequality).
