OK, let's ignore SP's quite valid reply and consider that 48% voted for Clinton and 52% did not.The 48% who did, per your logic, supported the standard quasi-liberal status quo. However, the 52% who did not were all over the place, just as Trump the candidate was all over the place. Among the 52%, you don't have overwhelming (or even particularly strong) support for higher tariffs, for repealing ACA, for lower taxes on the wealthy, for reducing environmental regulation, for transferring federal land to the states, for government subsidies to companies in return for not transferring work out of the United States, for reducing our involvement in Europe and Asia, or for significant changes to Medicare or Social Security. So on what topic do you think a majority of Americans truly want a new direction? Probably increased federal infrastructure spending, accomplished without increasing taxes or the budget deficit. |
