Throw that against a globalization.

We have the time where we're looking through some of the most radical economic transformations because of what's going on with globalization and deglobalization, at least in our lives, certainly since the 70s.

I'm sorry, certainly since the 40s, probably since the 1870s, and based on definition, maybe since the 1500s.

At the same time, we have our first ever, as a species, demographic inversion.

Of course it's going to be a shitshow.

The classic Democratic Party in the United States, there are three clusters to it.

You've got racial minorities, you've got organized labor, and you have the educated coastal elites.

The way that study defined it, it was just that third group.

Interesting.

The first two groups tell us something different.

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

And now they're voting that way.

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

But Trump is not a pro-business guy.

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

has had in my lifetime.

And the unions love it.

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

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

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.
