"Brooks: I’ll revert to my core theory of the last decade. Trump is the wrong answer to the right question. He became president because over the last many decades we in the educated class built a system that is rigged. The children of affluent parents have advantages at every step of the way — from preschool through college and the job market. And we passed a series of immigration, trade and education policies that benefit us, and hurt those without our degrees.
High-school-educated people die eight years sooner. They have many fewer friends. They marry less and divorce more.
The education gap between the rich and the poor is now greater than the education gap between whites and Blacks in the age of Jim Crow.
In short, if you build a system in which the same people win every time, the people who have been losing will eventually flip over the table. That’s why Trump the victor happened. The Biden administration was built on the theory that if you redistribute huge amounts of money to people and places left behind, they will return to the Democratic fold.
It didn’t happen because you can’t use money to solve a problem primarily about recognition and respect." [1]
Biden, a man who did not understand his own country and lost the political battle there, how can he understand Slavic affairs and not lose there? Where are our eyes and our heads? What did we put our money into? What kind of leaders did we choose?
