      So make “tax the rich” a culture war thing. Left populism is a winning strategy too.

      • How? The largest campaign that ever occurred for taxing the rich was occuring by AOC and Bernie around the U.S. The media will air something about Trump taking a green shit after drinking a blue slupee far more. It doesn’t matter until they switch the notion to something that threatens the media and their families lives more than likely. They own the media.

          Don’t ask me, a random guy on the internet. Ask your elected representatives, your intellectuals, your think tanks. Your civil society, man, not some random Canadian online.

            You’re the one telling us the obvious, as if it was easy to do and we just weren’t smart enough to think of it first.

        Not if its surpressed in (social) media, unfortunately.

        As horrific as it sounds, the US very much needs a ‘Democrat Trump.’ But even that can’t happen in the current media environment. There are all sorts of proposals to address that, but the problem seems to be that people can’t help themselves and keep using Twitter, watching Fox, stay glued to Facebook or whatever.
