The American Demean 0
Robert Reich offers some thoughts about why some persons are so fascinated with Elon Musk and Donald Trump, two personalities who seem to dominate (or pollute) the discourse in this new Gilded Age. An excerpt:
People who have been bullied their whole lives want to identify with super bullies who give the finger to the establishment, answerable to no one but their own ravenous egos.
Their arrogance and certitude attract millions of followers, fans and cultish devotees, along with a fair number of goons and thugs who want to vicariously feel superior.But they are not leaders. They are bullies who demean America.
