Mr. Konar came here as an immigrant and found success, good for him. He also arrived here at a golden time, when higher education was virtually free or very low cost, housing still reasonably cheap and good jobs relatively plentiful, a lot of advantages that most twenty-somethings( his "many native-born Americans" that he dumps on) today don't have. From his perch in the upper middle class, things no doubt looked rosy, so why rock the boat. Maybe if he'd paid better attention to what was going on in the rest of the country ( where things weren't so grand ) before the 2016 elections, or looked beyond the color of Obama's skin he wouldn't be so shocked, sad and embarrassed at how things turned out.
