Democrats better have a good look at themselves.

After 45 years of channeling the US GDP solely to the top 1% (see RAND-report), the American middle and lower classes are exhausted.

Exasperated, working harder but able to afford less, they become the fertile dung that fascist politicians wallow in.

Before Trump, Republicans justified their support for the elite, with pretentious claims about ‘traditions’, ‘patriotism’, '2nd Amendment’, and, the diamond for dummies: ‘The American Dream’.

Cloaked in these hollow concepts, they convinced the poor and middle class that they should get less and the rich more. The poor and middle classes thought they meant ‘those other people who are really poor’, and thus they supported this reverse robbin hood party. Their support ensured that all US GDP increases went straight to the top 1%. And let’s face it: kudos to the Republican Party; great if you can get away with it.

The Democrats collaborated, albeit less ostensibly, to the enrichment of the elite at the expense of the rest of the country. Without Democrats this 45 year long steal from the middle and lower classes, would not have been possible. Clinton was no friend of the 99%. The steal, according to research, amounts to $4 trillion. If distributed according to pre-Reagan era policies, someone earning $50,000 today, would have been earning $100,000 today! Oh, yes, and they would have owned their own…
