"But Trump could still win, and the United States will still face huge problems even if he loses, because of the almost complete disconnect between our leading economic and intellectual classes on the one hand, and the mass of the American people on the other. The divide can't help but remind me of France in 1789 or Russia in 1917, and it is up to our leaders to start to close it."
We don't have any real classes here, economic or otherwise, and certainly no intellectual classes to speak of, and frankly never have. They, Trump etc., and certain intellectuals, can kid themselves......
Sadly, all that was left behind by the rebellion against Britain in 1776.
