I'll not deny that a malaise exists in modern society, including the USA. While it is real and will worsen for another 20-odd years, the R's or the D's are not responsible, and cannot fix the root cause. (Both will of course bluster and blame and claim they can "save" us.)
The root cause of the malaise is easy to understand, and virtually impossible to fix. Firstly, this happened to our parents:
Move forward 70 years, and this is happening now:
Those Boomers are retiring, and just after the largest recession since the 1930s, which depleted the savings of most. Among other effects:
...all of the unemplyment decline of late has been the people who reach retirement age, and also drop off the charts because they can no longer claim unemployment benefits. There literally are 16 million people who would work if they could, even though they are presently collecting Social Security.
Better believe they are not satisfied. Trump or anybody else will find them a ripe field for harvesting votes. But the underlying problem will not be so easily fixed.
That's my analysis, and it has nothing to do with admiring or bemoaning the blowhard in the White House. (I avoid both.)
One final point: The Baby Boom is an international issue, because WW2 was an international conflict. But the people with the most to lose - or the furthest to fall, if you partake of the doomer mindset, are those in th USA. Simultaneously, this largest of Capitalist Democracies is also the most resilient to the forces of doom and destruction. Good thing for us, except for the fact that when economic chaos happens, we will have a view of others dying while we feel first discomfort, and then hardships.
