The grossly aggregated national data (and the stock market) shows the economy is growing... so everything must be fine, right? For millions of people outside the coastal cities where powerful investors and media figures live, however, things are not fine. Indeed, no one should be surprised that on election day, it was voters from Ohio, Michigan, and Wisconsin - states that have favored Democrats in recent presidential elections - handed Donald Trump his victory.
Realist - Everybody in America is soft, and hates conflict. The cure for this, both in politics and social life, is the same -- hardihood. Give them raw truth.
