Coming home to roost

So the people have spoken and the pundits are in disarray.

A man who had no party behind him and who in fact had the party he was closest to turn their collective back on him has won against the political machine which is the Clinton family. The democrats poured millions of dollars into the campaign and it was always assumed that in America money talks the loudest. Trump was a natural target for the democrat, it was suggested he was misogynistic and yet he has a beautiful wife and daughter who both supported him, he has strong views against immigration and foreigners in general, all an anathema to the liberal think tank who are for ever searching for equality and common values, failing to recognise that the concept of common values depends on a common economic and cultural environment in which people growing up in a foreign county simply don't have. When the numbers are handle-able, assimilation is possible but when whole neighbourhoods become an imported counter culture then it's a recipe for trouble.

 The liberal is an optimist, they see the good in people and blind themselves to the bad.

Their intentions over the last 30 years or so has been to highlight the disadvantaged because of colour and physical disadvantages. They have worked hard to bring these people into the main stream and have largely been successful but the forgotten rump, the white male who used to work in the factories have been abandoned. It's this group Trump resonated with, it's this group that he offers to be at least a spokesperson when before, no one seemed to bother about them. This state of affairs dates back to the invention of the internet and its world wide instantaneous grasp to be able to do business anywhere and importantly have the manufacturing function right in amongst the poorest people in the world. The argument has always been the need to keep down costs, but to who's cost. 

Well today the people who's jobs were decimated by the greed of capitalism and its function of producing ever better results for the investor has come home to roost.
