Caltrops - Balance of Power





	[quote name="Vested Id"][quote name="Mysterio"]I guess I don't understand your question, then. The electoral college gave the presidency to Trump because the midwest swing states who Hillary stupidly declared her "firewall" went to Trump. Thomas Frank has been covering the blue firewall's shift to the right for over a decade now. His books all have cited sources.[/quote] So "go fish" then, thanks. It sounds like he knows what he's talking about, but I'd like to know if recent Dem losses are really so easily interpreted and whether there's an alternate take. Like a bit of historical perspective. Trump is the most unusual president in history, except for Andrew Jackson or whatever. He's not Hitler, he's Berlusconi, like that. Maybe the planets just misaligned by the time of this election, with a small push from recent chaos. You understand the cognitive danger of attractive theories, especially eschatological ones?
