Una deliciosa entrada de Nassim Taleb que resume bien los problemas de una gran parte de los demócratas para entener el "fenómeon Trump". "The Intelectual Yet Idiot (IYI) pathologizes others for doing things he doesn’t understand without ever realizing it is his understanding that may be limited. He thinks people should act according to their best interests and he knows their interests, particularly if they are “red necks” or English non-crisp-vowel class who voted for Brexit. When plebeians do something that makes sense to them, but not to him, the IYI uses the term “uneducated”. What we generally call participation in the political process, he calls by two distinct designations: “democracy” when it fits the IYI, and “populism” when the plebeians dare voting in a way that contradicts his preferences. While rich people believe in one tax dollar one vote, more humanistic ones in one man one vote, Monsanto in one lobbyist one vote, the IYI believes in one Ivy League degree one-vote, with some equivalence for foreign elite schools and PhDs as these are needed in the club.More socially, the IYI subscribes to The New Yorker. He never curses on twitter. He speaks of “equality of races” and “economic equality” but never went out drinking with a minority cab driver (again, no real skin in the game as the concept is foreign to the IYI). The modern IYI has attended more than one TEDx talks in person or watched more than two TED talks on Youtube. Not only did he vote for Hillary Monsanto-Malmaison because she seems electable and some such circular reasoning, but holds that anyone who doesn’t do so is mentally ill"
El "impeachment" le hará la campaña a Trump. Los demócratas obesionados con esa visión de "gauche divine" incapaz de entender que pueda ser Presidente de USA un "personaje" como Trump, han perdido su instinto político.Trump es el presidente de la "no política", del "no matiz", del "yo consigo que se hagan las cosas y no me pierdo en sutilezas políticas de los que se la cogen con papel de fumar" y los demócratas le van a dar "papel de fumar" para aburrir. ¿Sutilezas constitucionales a un tipo que ha puesto contra las cuerdas a China y que va a sacar a patadas a los inmigrantes que estropean nuestros colegios y vuelven inseguras nuestras calles?. Eso va a ir genial con el votante del rust belt y del middle west ... seguro!.Donal Trump es un personaje impresentable, sin nigún valor moral y un ser humano deplorable (hay una serie en Netflix para no perderse "Trump, the american dream), muy parecido a un gran número (como mínimo muy cercano a la mayoría) de los votantes americanos (o para el caso de cualquier otro país)
