Precisely.The 'establishment' and the liberal bubbles they live in ignore the concerns of the 'real people' . The 'real people' may be ignorant,prejudiced, ill informed but they should be respected. As with Brexit there is a reaction to being told we are bigoted , racist,little Englanders etc.
Did Gorbachev teleport forward into a new century to create this revisionism, then ;)
Russia ran out of Roubles and the wall came down. Game over.
Correct.The sky won't fall in. Big business will run the world as it always has.
The south is wonderful.He Dominated the vote in Louisiana?
He even got the Hispanic vote there..Any reason?
The young people have to wait it out, for more of them to die.
Yes this summed up by the acceptance in the media and establishment that black and Hispanic voting on block one way is ok .
However if white people vote a particular way they are uneducated racists and it's some kind of backlash ( or whitewash as someone just called it) ...
These divisions between men , women black white etc etc are often exacerbated by this and analysis . Why do we need to put people in boxes and categories all the time.
I love it when a sibling argument weaponises Gore Vidal.No, it's called primary sourcing rather than Fox News et al.... Try reading some gore Vidal, rather than colonel sanders American pie chronicles...
It was Gorbachev who put forward the idea of soviet disarmament in 84, well before there economy is in the toilet.
Gorbachev's dialogue with Ronald Reagan on security matters was not merely an admission that the Soviet Union was no longer able to compete with the United States in the nuclear arms race; a different Soviet leader could have continued playing dangerous games with the Americans for much longer. Gorbachev decided voluntarily to renounce the maintenance of the nuclear threat as a way of propping up the Soviet system...... They didn't give him the noble fucking peace prize because the country was skint, it was because he from his early tenure wanted every nation to have the right to choose its own government... This was all randy regan though, fuck me...
And cut......

People generally become more right wing as they get older.It doesn't always work that way.
If you look at the two EU Referendums we held the young people all voted to stay in in the 1970s. The old gits (same people!) voted out this time round.
It's no coincidence that the (generally) more sophisticated and outward looking states on the west coast and the north east coast voted for Clinton while most (but not all) of Trump's successes were in the states in the middle and south of the country where there are a lot of hicks, rednecks, isolationists and reactionaries. Cloetus and Billy Bob have got a lot to answer for.
