Populist revolt always has entailed xenophobia and racism of the basest sort. The fact is that these are pissed-off white working class voters. The Left objectively failed to articulate a critique of neoliberalism under the Democrats and offer an alternative to austerity, privatization of the public commons, and debt deflation of the economy. Between that and the fact that the Times has been nothing but the Clinton campaign newsletter since the day after Inauguration 2012, one realizes this video is a perfect example of narcissism, self-importance, and look-down-your-nose elitism in the press that created Trump. (If you didn’t catch my media analysis of this election that includes a dash of postmodernism spoofed, check this out. In short, the mainstream media has created this monstrosity and should be held accountable for it.)

As the old Arab proverb says, when you point one finger three point back at yourself.
