Matt Taibbi writes in Rolling Stone magazine that the Democrats’ embrace of globalist neoliberal policies – in particular Bill Clinton’s signing of NAFTA – have provided an opening for Republican nominee Donald Trump to refashion the GOP as the party fighting for the “rational self-interest” of American workers whose wages have stagnated from decades of globalist trade policies.

Yes, when the Dems were the party of the “working man” it was noble. Today’s “working man” is looked at as an inbred redneck by the Dems.
It’s a Christ loving posture ya know!! smile
And if the GOPe takes Trump down, they go down with him.
Yes we may have to endure de-facto ‘One Party Rule” for a few years. But for all intents and purposes that’s what we’ve had. But then finally a viable opposition movement will emerge.
Great point.
How things have changed since RS began.
The working party vs. the moocher party.
Taibbi isn’t celebrating Trump and his white working class supporters; he’s mocking us and hoping we crash and burn.
It’s what that sniveling, arrogant little liberal snot face Taibbi does.
‘Bout time some publication recognized this. It’s only been happening for a decade or more.
Better late than never...
If you bring up the destruction of the American middle class, pro-globalization adherents will point to facts like the rising fortunes of those hundreds of millions of Chinese workers who are now supposedly above the World Bank definition of poverty, making more than $1.90 a day.
That those same workers still have virtually no rights or benefits and on occasion have to be housed in factories with safety nets to keep them from killing themselves at an astronomical rate is immaterial to True Believers.
They want even American voters to focus on the good news of incrementally increased wages abroad, forgetting that American workers never signed up for a plan to disenfranchise themselves so that workers in China or India could earn a few quarters more per day. Moreover, they certainly didn't elect leaders to push such policies.
