The thing is, I've heard this argument articulated in Brexit debates as well and I get it - people who are poor, ridiculed, excluded and losing their way of life are angry at the wealthy elite and the establishment who not only don't understand them but are barely aware of their existence - hence the shock and horror at these votes which seem to come from nowhere, because these people are left out of all the political analysis so no one sees the result coming. I get that.
But what no one can explain to me is why, oh why, do people wanting to tear down the elite then put their faith in this phenomenally rich, old men who absolutely EXEMPLIFY the elite establishment and who are precisely NOTHING about the communities who are voting for them, who care only about furthering their own power and ambition and will grind the poor further and further into misery i.e. Trump and Farage? Men who are absolutely bloated with privilege, who have reaped the rewards of a society which exploits and demeans the poor, men who will do nothing to address inequality of wealth distribution but are working to push the billionaires further into the stratosphere of fabulous, unimaginable wealth and prosperity diverting all of it upwards. How on earth does a billionaire like Trump manage to position himself as anti-establishment? He is not going to act in the interests of these people and their communities and I think that's where my frustration lies.
