I was being a bit hyperbolic but I think the level of anger is nearly there, yes. For all but the highest skill brackets of the workforce, real wages have fallen since around 1970 while everything else (food, energy, real estate, tuition, health care) has gone up. You can't do that to people and expect anything good to come of it.

I think Trump (and to a lesser extent Sanders) is only a preview. We'll see a full-blown fascist or hard-line socialist candidate eventually if this doesn't reverse.

I also wasn't meaning to badmouth blue collar folks. On the contrary, I was trying to communicate just how much anger there is out there outside of BubbleLand. Sometimes you have to be hyperbolic to get your point across and get people to wake up and see what's happening. The middle of America has been in a depression since 2000... that's going on 15 years.
