(2,275 posts)That's possibly because the older generation, who benefitted from the New Deal, are still sitting pretty and don't need to think about how the rug has been pulled out from under everyone else. They need not even google "New Deal" or "economic inequality" nor understand how a steep progressive tax and a civil, majority-friendly infrastructure made them comfortable in the first place.
Luckily, the younger bulk of the nation are in the majority and are driving the progressive blue wave, sweeping independents and some disaffected Republicans into to the wave with them.
Keep at it Bernie, Warren, Booker, Harris. You understand our pain.
*Note: certainly not all folks over 50 or 55 are insensitive to the struggles and frustrations of the majority. Not all are Reagan-leaning, low infornation voters.
