Probably this, but it had been bubbling under the surface for a while.

Of course. American prosperity fell off a cliff around 1980, so the last 40 years or so have just been inertia and grinding the middle class into dust.

Which is roughly where we are now.

Not true! The 90s were great! We signed NAFTA and shipped all our manufacturing jobs overseas!

I don’t get you people. Presumably you’re also complaining about Trump tariffs?

You complain when the US signs free-trade agreements, and then you complain when the US closes its borders.

Make it make sense?
