"Any solution has to begin with a correct diagnosis of the problem. If Trump’s
supporters are not, in fact, motivated by economic marginalization, then even
full Bernie Sanders–style social democracy is not going to prevent a Trump
recurrence. Nor are GOP-style tax cuts, and liberal pundits aggressively
signaling virtue to each other by writing ad nauseam about the need to
empathize with the Trump Voter aren’t doing anyone any good."
