was on a sign during Occupy Wall Street. It is as supported now as it was then. I think it is natural for people to go tribal when they are weaker. Someone like Trump counts on it. Someone like Hillary appeals to the strength and hope for the future in those that are suffering. With liberal policies that will help the middle class grow. Not neoliberal policies. There is no reason why kick ask union laws could not have been written into trade agreements. The world is ours to remake. Not the right wing elite's.
