#1028 - Peter Zeihan - The New World Order Is Here

Interesting.

Modern Wisdom
#1028 - Peter Zeihan - The New World Order Is Here

The first two groups tell us something different.

Modern Wisdom
#1028 - Peter Zeihan - The New World Order Is Here

Number one, the middle group, the organized labor, they're socially conservative, always have been.

Modern Wisdom
#1028 - Peter Zeihan - The New World Order Is Here

And now they're voting that way.

Modern Wisdom
#1028 - Peter Zeihan - The New World Order Is Here

And they really like Trump might be a bit of a stretch.

Modern Wisdom
#1028 - Peter Zeihan - The New World Order Is Here

But Trump is not a pro-business guy.

Modern Wisdom
#1028 - Peter Zeihan - The New World Order Is Here

He's probably the most anti-business president the U.S.

Modern Wisdom
#1028 - Peter Zeihan - The New World Order Is Here

has had in my lifetime.

Modern Wisdom
#1028 - Peter Zeihan - The New World Order Is Here

And the unions love it.

Modern Wisdom
#1028 - Peter Zeihan - The New World Order Is Here

Then you've got the racial minorities, and blacks and Hispanics and Asians agree on nothing.

Modern Wisdom
#1028 - Peter Zeihan - The New World Order Is Here

Asians tend to be much better educated, much more wealthy, not necessarily politically conservative or liberal, more likely to be independent.

Modern Wisdom
#1028 - Peter Zeihan - The New World Order Is Here

African-Americans tend to have been lockstop into the Democratic Party for quite some time, but they voted for Trump in the biggest percentages we've ever seen in modern history.

Modern Wisdom
#1028 - Peter Zeihan - The New World Order Is Here

And the Hispanics split right down the middle of this last election.

Modern Wisdom
#1028 - Peter Zeihan - The New World Order Is Here

They are economically for a degree of redistribution, not anything like the coastal elites.

Modern Wisdom
#1028 - Peter Zeihan - The New World Order Is Here

They tend to be the most up and coming part of the United States.

Modern Wisdom
#1028 - Peter Zeihan - The New World Order Is Here

So they're most likely to shift economically conservative, which doesn't put them in the Republican Party either anymore because that's not what the Republican Party is today.

Modern Wisdom
#1028 - Peter Zeihan - The New World Order Is Here

But at the same time, they're the most anti-immigration group we have.

Modern Wisdom
#1028 - Peter Zeihan - The New World Order Is Here

They want family reunification for their family and no one else.

Modern Wisdom
#1028 - Peter Zeihan - The New World Order Is Here

So the Democratic Party has shattered as an institution.

Modern Wisdom
#1028 - Peter Zeihan - The New World Order Is Here

And when people start talking about conservative or liberal, you really have to ask how they define those terms because the way America defines those terms has changed radically in just the last five years.
