      Add to long strain a multi-decade (deliberate) erosion of institutions and representative democracy. It's a global crisis of representation.

      The number of protests globally since 2006 are triple the 10 years before. You constantly hear: "nobody represents us." Everywhere.

      Academic research bears this out: legislators respond to donors and wealthy constituents. (So mundane that you don't need research to know).

      When you have a nominal democracy that is in fact captured by the powerful *and* significant social change.. You get these complex effects.

      Backlash to (what I'd consider positive) social change AND a constituency that feels unrepresented PLUS deliberate erosion of institutions..

      I agree except I think "nobody represents us" is also huge part of it. There was research research showing this to be true among Trump fans.

      I mean George Wallace in past? And wave of racism against the first black president? Remember, Trump embraced by Romney while a "birther".

      Until recently all this was tied to a party tied to big money. Trump comes along and says, hey, I'll tie this to *your* interests. Works.

          I've been arguing since summer that Trump was a viable candidate. No crystal ball; this phenomenon is neither unique nor unprecedented.
