The free market is a fascinating ideal, but no country in the world has one. The USA bullies other countries into dropping tariffs but has no intention to reduce its own protections.

People are vulnerable to despots whenever there is a large movement of wealth between social strata.
When society is stable, the rich stay rich and the poor stay poor, and people are relatively happy. Whether or not this is right or natural does not matter.

While the woman and party ought to be treated with the derision they deserve, those who are voting for her need to be taken seriously.
