I'll give you scapegoats. You want solutions to problems? You're looking at the wrong guy. Trump is the 21st century version Calvin Coolidge and Herbert Hoover. Let's be kind and say that unions and the middle class did not fare very well under that decade of republican rule.

People in progressive countries may not fear foreigners, immigration and trade but RW demagogues make a living off that fear.
