(10,362 posts)Same thing happened in Britain with the Brexit. Same thing is happening in France with the surge of far-right and far-left pro Putinistas. Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Serbia, etc. In Britain the once strong Labour party has been reduced to nothing by the Tories.
The modern world has been shaped by liberalism. This is the failure of modern liberalism to connect to the people.
A Brit told it to me straight. Once labor is divorced from liberalism, it loses its cohesion as a movement. We haven't seen it here as strongly because the Republicans are retarded. If we had to face a group like Theresa May's Tories, we'd be getting destroyed like so many other western countries. The labor movement was the cement holding us together, and now it's dying a slow death to Walmart jobs and Amazon robots.
