The first generation white Americans who mostly did worse than their parents. With a black president. Gay marriage. Minority majorities.
The Trump/Cruz moment: I choose to believe that it's not the start of something, but the end. A violent death rattle for a deep ugliness.

@stewart I think it's the start of the end, but I think it gets uglier before it gets extinguished. -
@tobypinder Sadly, very likely.

@stewart Interesting...Have you seen this video of Rubio on Trump and his anger-stoking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztdzg5kssXk&app=desktop … He's different than Cruz -
@davealevine@stewart I’m impressed. Sharp, articulate, human.

@ilyasu Depends what you're counting as problems. Birth control, per your http://www.the-american-interest.com/2016/03/14/on-the-trumpenproletariat/ … link: probably not. Same w/ gay marriage. -
@ilyasu But the lack of economic power: no idea. Maybe, long term?

@ilyasu How about: if the two-party system persists in the US, there won't be a another leading Trump-like candidate in our lifetimes.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
