The problem is when blame is not cast on the removal of regulations that let banks run wild, and it is not cast on for-profit healthcare companies that post massive premium increases while posting massive profit increases.

Instead, some of those injured rally around the same group of people that deregulated banks, the same group of people that killed a public-option plan, and the same group of people that make it illegal for the government to negotiate lower costs for drugs, bolstering the current run of multi-thousand-percent cost increases.

I'm really at a loss. I agree whole heartedly that the destruction of the middle class while the super-wealthy get rapidly richer and corporations post huge profit increases while dodging taxes lead to absolute disillusionment. But this time around doesn't feel like disillusionment on its own. It feels like it's being married heavily to racism and religion, which really does skew things.

Edit: although, maybe that's not all that different than usual. It's just a lot braver and mob-mentality-ish.
