The US election shows the hostility that most Americans feel toward urban elites, blaming us smart-ass city-slickers for making their lives miserable by running unaccountable corporations, bureaucratic government, big science, and big media with high-tech and digital inventions. The Democrats should have asked Americans what really infuriates them. It’s not about money. It’s about the humiliating inability even to manage one’s own daily life anymore.
Moreover, this election shows that even we elites are beginning to feel the same rage ourselves, and would revert to a simpler, old-fashioned life style to “make America great again” and recover our lost autonomy and dignity. We need accountability!
