The sad fact is the Democrats were already laying the groundwork for this. It was Bill Clinton who signed the repeal of Glass-Steagall, and started cutting welfare. Barney Frank championed the weakened Dodd-Frank Act before leaving Congress to go sit on the board of directors for a bank. It was Obama who gave the banks a second round of TARP money while not bothering to prosecute a single banking executive that caused the biggest economic crash since the Great Depression. It was Secretary of State Hillary who was discovered setting up Panamanian tax havens for corporate donors. It was Hillary who said it was unrealistic to reinstate Glass-Steagal while taking millions of dollars in “speaking fees” from the banks. It was Hillary who chose a anti workers’ rights running mate.
A good deal of what Trump is doing to the nation is just what the Democrats were planning. As much as I despise Trump, we were going to be screwed either way.
