The most potent force in US politicsis anti-establishment fury at a system seen as rigged against average working people.
AI has become Exhibit A.Until recently, both parties largely avoided criticizing the wealthy corporate elites that funded their campaigns.
In politics as in nature, one does not bite the hands that feed.Trump Republicans have instead aimed populist fury at immigrants, LGBTQ+ people, Black and Latino people, “communists”, Muslims, so-called “woke” leaders, “coastal elites”, “childless cat ladies” and other scapegoats.
Democrats – with the exceptions of Bernie Sanders, AOC and a few others – have also avoided criticizing wealthy corporate elites, aiming their populist fury at Trump.
This may be changing.It’s becoming obvious to much of the US that giant corporations have been raking it in
while workers have been taking it on the chin.
