Great article. That's the thing that people who dismiss Trump supporters as simply idiots or racists are missing - Trump took all those feelings of disenfranchisement and isolation and channeled them into a movement.

If only Washington spent more time, energy, and money on the real issues affecting quality of life in the US instead of funding military wars aboard and culture wars at home.
